Isaiah Thomas benched for Toney Douglas
Isaiah Thomas - G - Sacramento Kings
March 7, 2013 - 2:15 AM ET

Isaiah Thomas played just 20 minutes on Wednesday, finishing with nine points, one assist and one 3-pointer on 3-of-5 shooting as the Kings fell to the Warriors.

Toney Douglas was the flavor of the night for Keith Smart, and had 10 points and six assists in 28 minutes. This appears to be just one of those nights where Smart elects to 'go rogue' and play some random dudes instead of the ones in fantasy lineups. DeMarcus Cousins was benched for the entire second and fourth quarters, and IT2 got the same treatment, except that he did play at the end of the first half. He was hot coming in and we see no reason why he won't bounce back in the next one, but this is your weekly reminder that coach Smart simply can't be trusted in fantasy.
