Mayo (rest) will be held out of Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Mayo was battling a nagging hamstring issue over the last two games, so the team will give him the night off to rest with a back-to-back set looming Friday and Saturday. Mayo has struggled to find a rhythm in February, shooting 40 percent on the month and failing to make at least half of his shots in each of his last seven games.

Mayo injured his hamstring against the Nuggets on Friday but will be available for Sunday's game against the Hawks, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.Mayo's injury seems to be minor in nature and there's not much concern for his viability moving forward. He came off the bench for 26 minutes Friday and will likely see around the same run Sunday.

Mayo scored 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt) with three rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes in the win over Detroit on Saturday.

Mayo scored 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and collected one rebound in 24 minutes off the bench Thursday.
Mayo has turned up the juice recently, scoring double-digit points in each of his last four games while playing at least 24 minutes each contest. Deep league (14-teams or larger) could take a flier on Mayo. While it's unlikely to be sustained, for the time being, Mayo is an interesting add in deeper leagues. Just take note of the fact that it's a different Bucks bench player stepping up each week, and Mayo might just be the most desireable character on the carousel right now.

Mayo (Illness) came off the bench Tuesday and had four points and three assists in 18 minutes against the Suns.
Mayo's status for Tuesday was up in the air after missing the team's shootaround but managed to play. His 18 minutes on the floor was slightly less than his usual 24.3 minutes, but he should get back to that mark once he's fully healthy again.

Mayo (illness) will play in Tuesday's game, Fox Sports Wisconsin's Andrew Gruman reports.
He should slot into his typical role of instant offense off the bench. Mayo has scored in double figures in five of his last six games, although he struggles to offer much production in the non-scoring categories.

Mayo (illness) missed shootaround and is questionable to play Tuesday against the Suns, Andrew Gruman of Fox Sports Wisconsin reports.
Mayo continues to battle the same flu-like symptoms that plagued him during Sunday's win over the Knicks. Both he and Jared Dudley (illness) are essentially game-time calls, and the Bucks could be shorthanded in the backcourt if one or both sit out. Check back before Tuesday's 8:00 PM ET tip for a final update.

Mayo (illness) will be available off the bench Sunday against the Knicks, CF Gardner of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
An illness kept Mayo out of shootaround, but after resting during the afternoon, the guard said he's feeling well enough to give it a go. Deploy him with caution in daily formats, however, as he'll play at less than 100 percent. During the month of December, Mayo averaged 11.3 points and 2.7 rebounds while shooting 42.1 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from three.
