In his 15 games this month, Austin Rivers is playing some of his best ball of the season, averaging 16 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, resulting in a cool 30 FanDuel points per game.
The key to rostering Rivers comes by way of his very reasonable $6,500 salary through the month of March, which places him as a borderline five-times value play on average.
Rivers is seeing a sizeable workload, he’s rarely shy about getting his shots, and he has the ability to contribute in every category, making him a top-10 producer at this position over the last month.
With the Clippers continuing to battle for a playoff spot and a modest salary maintaining its affordability, Rivers seems like a substantial option moving forward, even if he does happen to fall into the category of love-to-hate.
