Scores team-high 16 points
McConnell recorded 16 points (8-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and six assists in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 97-95 loss to Toronto.
Analysis
McConnell continues to trend in the right direction, having now played at least 22 minutes in two straight games. In that span, he has averaged 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals. While this is likely his ceiling in terms of playing time, he has a knack for contributing across multiple categories, even in limited minutes, making him a worthwhile fantasy asset, even in standard formats.

Logs season-high 22 minutes
McConnell totaled 16 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and three steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 122-117 loss to Detroit.
Analysis
McConnell acknowledged during a recent interview that getting back from the hamstring injury was tougher than expected, but he feels like he's finally rounding into form. He logged a season high in minutes Monday night and looked fantastic while he was out there. If McConnell can consistently earn minutes in the mid-20s, he could easily be a fantasy contributor due to his upside in assists and steals.

Scores 10 points off bench
McConnell supplied 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 17 minutes during Friday's 120-109 loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis
McConnell has made six appearances this season, and the veteran floor general has found a way to make an impact. This was his second straight outing with double-digit points, and his fantasy value will be limited to what he can do in categories such as points, assists and three-pointers. On that note, McConnell is averaging 8.3 points and 3.5 assists per game while shooting 50 percent from deep, although in a limited sample size of six games off the bench and a mere 1.7 attempts per contest.
