Derrick Rose scores six points in win over the Mavericks

Fantasy Impact:

Rose scored 6.0 points in the Grizzlies’ win over the Mavericks, putting together a much less impressive performance than his previous three games. His potential as a multi-categorical contributor is promising; however, he may need some time to realize his upside. However, the opportunity to capitalize on his upside could be at risk, as Rose is dealing with a left ankle sprain suffered in their victory on Friday. Although the injury isn’t related to an issue with knee soreness, it is yet another health setback that could, unfortunately, diminish the value and momentum he managed to produce during his limited time in the rotation. His appeal in both season-long and daily fantasy formats could be at risk and could land him back on the waiver wire for the foreseeable future; however, be diligent in keeping up with his status in the coming days and possibly weeks to ensure you are effectively navigating and responding to this unfortunate situation for the betterment of your lineup. Rose has a usage rate of 21.6 percent, a plus-minus of 1.0, and averages 19.0 minutes, 9.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game while shooting 47.0 percent from the floor and 38.1 percent from beyond the arc.
