Austin Rivers scores 11 points despite poor shooting in Thursday's win
by Alex Burns | Fri, Aug 7th 12:37am EDT
Austin Rivers contributed 11 points (2-10 FG, 5-6 FT, 2-7 3PT), three rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes during the Rockets 113-97 victory over the Lakers on Thursday night.
Fantasy Impact:
Rivers saw plenty of playing time with Russell Westbrook (quad) sidelined but couldn't get anything going offensively. He managed to score in double-figures for the second time in Orlando but did so on 20 percent shooting while committing four turnovers. Rivers should continue seeing a slight uptick in playing time while Westbrook and Eric Gordon (ankle) are out of the lineup but isn't a recommended fantasy option. The Duke-product will have two days off to find his shooting stroke before taking on the Kings on Sunday.
