Caris LeVert Has Huge Game Off Bench
Caris LeVert went off on Sunday night despite his team falling short to the Clippers on the road. LeVert was a very important part of the team in the earlier part of the season but had been very silent of late, due to poor play and some time missed because of injury. That changed Sunday, as he erupted for 27 points and chipped in five assists to lead what was a strong bench effort for Brooklyn. LeVert has flashed ability so far throughout his career and appears to be on his way to a six-man type role with the future of the Nets -- a guy who can run the second unit as well as provide instant offense. LeVert right now is a fringe fantasy player to roster, but looking long term, he definitely has intriguing upside.

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.
