Robert Covington shoots 30 percent from field in opener

Robert Covington (F - PHI)

Robert Covington hit just 3-of-10 field goals including 2-of-7 from beyond the arc during the Sixers 105-87 loss to the Celtics on Tuesday. Covington added six rebounds, two steals and a block to his final stat line in 34 minutes of action.

Fantasy Impact
Covington has averaged between 12-14 points per game in each of the last four seasons for the Sixers and should settle in around the same range again this year. He'll add in about six boards a night but his primary value comes from his three-pointers and steals. He is only worth fantasy consideration in leagues where you need a three-and-D option.
