Devonte' Graham Buries Nine Triples, Including Game-Winner
Devonte' Graham is nearly complete following a 29-point outing during Saturday’s win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Graham buried a career-high nine threes during the win, including one in the final seconds that delivered his team a victory. After dominating off the bench to open the season, Graham has shifted into the starting five and picked up right where he left off. Through his first 13 games, the second-year guard out of Kansas is averaging 18.8 points per game and is firing up 8.5 triples per contest, averaging 3.5 makes. There should be no format in which Graham is not rostered as he has proven to be both a dynamic scorer and passer for a Charlotte franchise that seems all but thrilled to give him the opportunity on a nightly basis to turn himself into a star.

Devonte' Graham Heading To Portland
Devonte' Graham agreed to a one-year deal with the Portland Trail Blazers. The 29-year-old was one of the league's most promising young players, averaging a career-high 18.2 points and 7.5 assists in his sophomore season. Unfortunately, his statistical contributions have declined over the years. He also appeared in only 23 games in San Antonio last season. With that said, Graham may get some chances in the starting lineup during the 2024-25 campaign. However, he likely won't see consistent minutes behind Scoot Henderson, Anfernee Simons, and Shaedon Sharpe, among others.

Devonte' Graham Suspended For First Two Games
Devonte' Graham has been suspended for the first two games of the upcoming 2023-2024 season. Graham will be suspended after pleading guilty to a charge of impaired judgement while driving in North Carolina. The 28-year-old was traded from the Charlotte Hornets to the Spurs last season. He averaged 13.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.5 rebounds across 20 appearances with San Antonio. The expectation is that Graham will probably fall into a depth role with the Spurs next season. His fantasy value could be inconsistent depending on where he fits into the rotation.

Devonte' Graham Out Versus Minnesota
Devonte' Graham (adductor) isn't available on Saturday versus Minnesota. The 28-year-old has played well since joining the Spurs ahead of the trade deadline. However, San Antonio has nothing left to play for, so his season is likely finished. Nevertheless, Tre Jones should handle things at the one. Considering Devin Vassell (hamstring) and Jeremy Sochan (knee) are out, Jones has a higher-than-usual upside. It will increase even more if Keldon Johnson (foot), who is questionable, doesn't suit up either.

Devonte' Graham Out Again On Sunday
Devonte' Graham (quadriceps) won't suit up on Sunday versus Atlanta. The 28-year-old has averaged 15.5 points in 13 games for the Spurs since being acquired ahead of the deadline. However, he's dealing with a sore quad tendon, meaning Tre Jones could see plenty of action against the Hawks. At the same time, Malaki Branham, who scored 18 points in the overtime loss to Memphis on Friday night, has a higher fantasy ceiling than usual.
