Fantasy Impact
With Kevin Durant now healthy and performing at a high level for the Nets, LeVert has reverted to the bench to play the “Manu Ginobili” role, according to Nash. But with Dinwiddie going down with a torn ACL, LeVert is a possible candidate to enter into the starting lineup, which would be good for his fantasy value. LeVert was averaging 23 minutes per game to start the season, but could be in line for 30+ as a result of the Dinwiddie injury.
