Austin Rivers reverts to form on Saturday
Austin Rivers - G - New Orleans Hornets
Dec. 9, 2012 - 10:00 AM ET

Austin Rivers took a step back after scoring 15 points on Friday, finishing Saturday's loss with five points on 2-of-6 shooting.

Rivers is shooting 31 percent on the season, and a half-hearted attempt to deploy him at PG has resulted in 2.8 assists and 1.5 turnovers in 27 minutes per game. He could easily take over the starting SG job, but his fantasy value is spoiled by the awful shooting and the eventual return of Eric Gordon.
