Dyson Daniels finished Friday’s loss to the Spurs with seven points (3-of-8 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes.
Daniels moved into the starting lineup due to Zion Williamson (finger) not playing, and he was solid in the rebound and steals categories. As for the scoring, the other starters benefitted the most from Zion’s absence. Herb Jones (15/4/3/3 with one 3-pointer) and Trey Murphy (16/8/4/3 with one 3-pointer) reached double figures, but they aren’t available in most standard leagues. Streaming Daniels was a gamble, and it only paid off for managers targeting steals or rebounds.
