Austin Rivers plays 34 minutes as starting SG
Austin Rivers - G - New Orleans Hornets
Feb. 12, 2013 - 1:55 AM ET
Austin Rivers played 34 minutes in a fill-in start at SG on Monday, scoring seven points with two assists, one rebound and one turnover.
Eric Gordon (knee) hasn't been cleared to play in back-to-back games, but tonight's line underscores the fact that Rivers isn't a reliable fantasy option even if he steps into a big role down the stretch. He plays hard but he's averaging 6.0 points as a rookie, on 34.6 percent FGs and 54.7 percent FTs.
