Bryce Dejean-Jones expected to make sixth straight start Saturday
by George Haw | Sat, Feb 6th 4:21pm EST
Tyreke Evans will miss another game, giving Dejean-Jones another opportunity to start at shooting guard. In Thursday's loss to the Lakers, Dejean-Jones recorded a career-high 17 points (6-of-10 FG, 1-of-3 3PT, 4-of-8 FT) to go along with nine rebounds (tied career-high), one assist, two steals and one turnover in 43 minutes.
Fantasy Impact:
He makes for a nice DFS option as of now, but Dejean-Jones is quickly gaining fantasy respect in other formats. If Evans (knee) isn't able to shake his injury woes, the Pelicans could consider shutting him down for the rest of the season. If that's the case, Dejean-Jones could, at least, be worth an add in deeper leagues, as long as Eric Gordon remains out or plays limited minutes.
