[autotag]Pat Connaughton[/autotag] has to be feeling good right now. Not only have his Milwaukee Bucks won 10 in a row, but his streak of starting every game since Christmas remain intact. He has rewarded Mike Budenholzer’s faith in him with solid games such as an 11-point, two-steal performance Feb. 6 at the Portland Trail Blazers and a line eight points, eight rebounds, three assists and a steal Feb. 10 at the Los Angeles Clippers. For the past week, he averaged 8.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals a game.
Despite playing for a San Antonio Spurs team on a 12-game losing streak, [autotag]Blake Wesley[/autotag] got the most opportunities he has gotten so far during the past week. After he recorded seven points and four assists Feb. 8 at the Toronto Raptors, Gregg Popovich gave him his first career start Feb. 10 at the Detroit Pistons. He was held to a single 3-pointer for that game, and he also committed a career-high four turnovers. This past week gave him averages of 3.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 16.7 minutes a game.
