Trail Blazers' Pat Connaughton: Doesn't play in Sunday's loss

Connaughton (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in Sunday's 130-114 loss to the Rockets.

Analysis:

Connaughton's playing-time situation hasn't changed much from his rookie season, as he's typically only getting run at the tail end of blowout wins or losses. He's seen no more than nine minutes in any of his eight appearances on the season, and he'll have difficultly surpassing that mark until the Blazers suffer an injury or two on the wing.
