Availability
Mitch McGary played only 17 minutes Monday, but he made the most out of his limited time on the floor. The forward scored 12 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, and blocked one shot in the loss to Dallas.
Fantasy Impact
Even with Serge Ibaka missing the past three games, McGary has found it hard to find his way on to the court. Averaging only 16 minutes per game, in his last three games, McGary does not play enough to be relied on during the fantasy playoffs.
Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Mitch McGary fouls out in win over the Memphis Grizzlies after putting up the following numbers: zero points (zero-for-three from the field) and two rebounds in 15 minutes on the floor.
Fantasy Impact
After two straight games in where McGary posted double-doubles, he fell back down to earth a bit and failed to score a single point on Wednesday. The amount of playing time he gets is still contingent upon whether or not certain players on the team are healthy, but he is worth starting in deep fantasy leagues and is worth keeping an eye on or used as a stop-gap option in most other leagues as long as he is getting 20-plus minutes of action.
In a win on Sunday over the Los Angeles Clippers, Oklahoma City's Mitch McGary had a double-double (19 points, eight-for-nine from the field and three-for-four from the line, and 10 rebounds), one steal and two turnovers.
Fantasy Impact
McGary (the 21st pick in the 1st round of the 2014 NBA draft) had a rare opportunity to play some significant minutes while filling in for bench player Anthony Morrow (shoulder) on Sunday and he took full advantage of the situation by scoring close to 20 points in just under 24 minutes of action. He may not be someone you want to acquire just yet in any fantasy leagues, but he is someone you want to keep a close eye on right now since there is no telling if this type of performance will inspire the Thunder to give McGary additional opportunities on the court to prove his worth to the team.
