Wendell Carter Jr. does little in third game back from ankle injury
by Dave Kluge | Magic Correspondent | Wed, Mar 4th 11:07pm EST
Wendell Carter Jr. recorded six points (3-6 FG), nine rebounds, and one assist, steal, and block over 25 minutes in Wednesday's 115-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact:
Carter Jr. has not been able to find his groove since his return from an injury suffered on January 6th. Over his three games back he is averaging 6.3 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 block, and 1.0 steal. Last year's seventh overall pick was putting together a solid sophomore campaign prior to the injury, averaging 11.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 0.8 steals per game. There's no reason to expect that a sprained ankle could be enough to derail that. Target him while his price drops in DFS as he's due for a big game soon. However, he will have to face off against a defensive nightmare, seeing Myles Turner, Domantas Sabonis, DeAndre Jordan, Jarrett Allen, Andre Drummond, and Tristan Thompson over the next three games. Temper expectations throughout that stretch.
