Delon Wright Flirts With Triple-Double
Delon Wright delivered an impressive stat line in Wednesday's win over Toronto. Wright scored 18 points with 10 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in 38 minutes. The 10 boards are a season-high, while he recorded at least two swipes for the third straight game. It seems like Wright is back in the Catbird seat in the Pistons backcourt, with Dennis Smith Jr. logging a DNP-CD- and Saben Lee playing just 10 minutes. The 28-year-old will next play against a Rockets team that has allowed the sixth-most FanDuel points per game to point guards.

Delon Wright On Track To Return Monday
Delon Wright (personal) appears ready to return to the lineup on Monday versus Boston, as the team has listed him as probable for the contest. Wright missed Game 3 of the series for personal reasons. He started the playoffs with a big 17-point performance but settled for only five points in Game 2. Terry Rozier's (neck) absence has given Wright an opportunity to average 23.0 minutes per game in the postseason, and he should play a significant part in the rotation again on Monday. However, his inconsistency makes Wright a risky option for DFS managers.

Delon Wright Questionable For Game 3
Delon Wright (personal) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Celtics. With Terry Rozier (neck) out of commission, Wright has been getting some work during this series. He's played well, too, averaging 11.0 points and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 75.0% from behind the arc. If he can't suit up, Tyler Herro could see even more minutes at the one. In addition, Patty Mills may finally make an appearance, although he doesn't have much upside.

Delon Wright Agrees On Contract Buyout With Wizards
Delon Wright has agreed to a contract buyout with the team, allowing him to join the Miami Heat after clearing waivers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The 31-year-old has appeared in 33 games with the Wizards this year, averaging 4.1 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 13.8 minutes per game. With Josh Richardson (shoulder) out for at least a few weeks and Terry Rozier (knee) listed as week-to-week, Wright adds another veteran guard who can help right the ship after the All-Star break. He should step into a decent role at the start, but he remains out of the fantasy landscape for now.

Delon Wright Questionable For Meeting With Thunder
Delon Wright (quadriceps) might not feature in Monday's game against Oklahoma City, as the team has listed him as questionable for the contest. After missing a large chunk of the season with a knee injury, Wright is bothered by a left quadriceps contusion. He's been limited to 14 outings, averaging 4.5 points, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 steals across 17.2 minutes of action. With Landry Shamet (hamstring) also questionable, the Wizards could be without two of their main backcourt bench contributors, and head coach Wes Unseld Jr. might have to get creative with his rotation.
