NBA Market Share Report: Counting on Terry Rozier to Close the Season

Shelve the Hate: Play Austin Rivers

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.

Los Angeles takes on Portland tonight, with games against Indiana, San Antonio, and Utah next week.
