Eligibility
Shawn Long has been waived by the Rockets on Tuesday. Long was acquired via trade from the 76ers for a draft pick. Clint Capela will start again at C with Nene and Tarik Black backing him up.
Fantasy Impact
Capela is a solid late-round pick in re-draft leagues as he can post double-double numbers here and there. Long will look to sign on with another team and he showed promise with the 76ers in limited action.
Shawn Long has been traded to the Rockets in exchange for a 2018 second-round pick. Long played well last season for the 76ers when Jahlil Okafor and Joel Embiid were out but we're unsure if he will be going to the Clippers also.
Fantasy Impact
Long could provide depth for the Rockets if they intend to keep him. If he's moved to the Clippers, he will likely remain third or fourth on the depth chart or be released.
Shawn Long played well on Tuesday while coming off the bench finishing with 18 points, second most on the team. Long added six boards and two assist with one turnover in 17 minutes of action.
Fantasy Impact
Long is worth a look in DFS play even in only 16.6 minutes per game over his last five games. He's averaging 11.0 points per game and could see more minutes if Saric is shut down.
The Philadelphia 76ers had five players in double-digits scoring on Friday, including Shawn Long, who scored 18 points in 19 minutes. He hit 8-of-10 from the floor, to go along with seven rebounds and two steals.
Fantasy Impact
Long is averaging 15.5 points over the past two games and should see significant playing time over the final 10 games. He's only played in nine career NBA games, so the jury is still out on Long's long term potential.
The Philadelphia 76ers had little go right in their 122-97 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday. One player who played well was rookie Shawn Long, who scored 13 points on 4-of-7 from the floor and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line. He added six rebounds in 15 minutes of action.
Fantasy Impact
Long has played in only a handful of NBA games but tied a career-high with the 13 points. With 11 games remaining, the 76ers may want to take a closer look at Long, so increased playing time and production is possible.
