Fantasy Impact:
Throughout the Rockets first three games in Orlando, McLemore has been lights out from downtown, shooting 64.3 percent and 3.0 makes per game. Now that he is starting Thursday, he figures to see a big bump in usage and has become a great value play in daily fantasy. Although he has been on fire from three, he has failed to offer much contribution in other areas, but that has a chance to change given his increased role on Thursday.
