Austin Rivers Doesn't Do Much In 35 Minutes Versus Minnesota
7 years agoLos Angeles Clippers point guard Austin Rivers played a very ineffective 35 minutes on Tuesday against the Timberwolves, finishing with just 10 points and one assist. He did some good work from downtown, sinking two of five triples, but shot a poor 4-for-14 overall. Rivers had a couple of 20-point outings last week, so it was a letdown that he cooled off in such fashion. Bouncing back straight away on Wednesday against the Bucks looks tricky as well, as Milwaukee has limited point guards to 42.7 percent shooting this season.

Austin Rivers To Start On Wednesday
2 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard Austin Rivers will get the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Wolves are without both D'Angelo Russell (knee) and Jordan McLaughlin (calf) for Wednesday's game. That means, Rivers will be asked to start with Jaylen Nowell playing increased minutes off the bench. Both players are worth streaming with the team being shorthanded at guard. Between the two, Rivers is the slightly better option because he is starting in this game.

He figures to be one of the first guards off the bench for the T-Wolves next year, backing up starting guards D'Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards.

Austin Rivers To Start On Monday
3 years agoDenver Nuggets guard Austin Rivers will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Both Rivers and Bones Hyland should see a boost with Will Barton (ankle) sidelined. Rivers will join Monte Morris, Aaron Gordon, Jeff Green and Nikola Jokic in the starting five for this contest. Rivers hasn't been a great fantasy option, but does have some streaming appeal when he starts.

Denver Deems Austin Rivers Active For Friday’s Game
3 years agoDenver Nuggets small forward Austin Rivers (hip) has been cleared to participate in Friday's contest against the Celtics after missing one game due to a tight right hip flexor. Rivers' role has fluctuated drastically over the past three weeks, making him a volatile DFS option in any format. With Monte Morris (concussion) sidelined, Rivers has the possibility to be worked into the backcourt with a higher frequency among the second unit, but he has combined to score just eight points in his last four outings. On pace to tie set a career low with 5.5 field goal attempts per game, Rivers' role in the offense has not portended to fantasy relevance in 2021-22.
