Caris Levert Notches Season-High Six Assists In 16-Point Outing
Caris Levert packed the stat sheet across his 29 minutes in Monday’s defeat to the Philadelphia 76ers, which marked his largest allotment of playing time since his return from a thumb injury. Levert utilized his time on the floor to finish with 16 points on 6-for-16 shooting, adding six rebounds and a season-best six assists. Shooting percentage hasn’t been his strong suit since rejoining the mix for Brooklyn, but owners can continue to look to the fourth-year wing for production across the stat sheet. He next faces a Lakers squad Thursday that he has shot woefully against in his career (25 percent), averaging just 4.3 points per contest, his lowest mark for any opponent.

Caris LeVert Available On Saturday Evening
Caris LeVert (knee) will suit up on Saturday versus the Warriors. The veteran has played well since being traded to Atlanta, averaging 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.0 steals. Fortunately, the knee soreness won't keep him off the floor. With so many injuries on the Atlanta roster, LeVert should remain involved enough to warrant consideration for any fantasy lineup, although his presence will likely mean less work for Georges Niang.

Caris LeVert Returns For Hawks Wednesday
Caris LeVert (finger) will be available for Wednesday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. After missing Monday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a finger injury, Atlanta initially listed LeVert as questionable for Wednesday's game. LeVert has looked great in a Hawks uniform, averaging 20.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists across his last five appearances. Terance Mann and Vit Krejci will likely play fewer minutes now that LeVert is back in the lineup.

Caris LeVert Iffy Wednesday
Caris LeVert (finger) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's clash against the Charlotte Hornets. He has sprained his left middle finger and may be forced to sit out a second consecutive game. If he returns, LeVert is a candidate to fill in for Trae Young (quadriceps) in the starting unit, who is also questionable for the game. Terance Mann and Vit Krejci should see a bump in playing time if LeVert remains out. On Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, Mann had one of his best games of the season with 19 points, six rebounds, and four assists in 33 minutes off the bench.

Caris LeVert Is Out For Monday's Matchup With Philadelphia
Caris LeVert (knee) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. LeVert will be sidelined for the first time since being dealt to Atlanta on February 6th due to a left middle finger sprain. Despite the setback, the 30-year-old has fit in well with his new club, finishing with at least 20 points in four of the last five games. Terance Mann and Keaton Wallace will likely carry the team's backcourt with LeVert and Trae Young (quadricep) out of action this evening.
