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.

3 years agoThe Minnesota Timberwolves have signed veteran guard
Austin Rivers to a one-year deal. The 29-year-old spent the last year and a half with the Denver Nuggets. He played about 22 minutes per game last year while averaging 6.0 points, 1.3 assists and 1.2 three-pointers per contest. 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.

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.

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.
