Austin Rivers is Questionable on Thursday
7 years agoLos Angeles Clippers guard/forward Austin Rivers (Achilles) is questionable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Rivers has been working out the past couple of days and dealt with discomfort in his foot. Head coach Doc Rivers is considering sending him to another physician to get Rivers re-evaluated. The Clippers listed Rivers as questionable for Thursday, but it sounds closer to doubtful. C.J. Williams dropped 18 points on Tuesday, so he could get another chance to impress without Rivers.

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.

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.
