News: After taking a beating in Game 1 against the Thunder, the Rockets turned to an unlikely source for a spark in Game 2 Wednesday. Rookie guard Patrick Beverley started his first game of his career at point guard in the game, and played a big part in keeping the game close. Beverley had 16 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block in 41 minutes of action, as Jeremy Lin was also forced to leave the game with an injury. With the Rockets outscored the Thunder by four in a 105-102 loss, and they make continue to ride with him in the starting lineup.
Analysis: Beverley proved to be yet another solid value signing for the Rockets, averaging 5.6 points, 2.9 assists and 0.9 steals in 41 games off the bench. He signed with the Rockets this season, after failing to latch on with the Heat in 2009. Beverley looks like a solid backup point guard and a great fit in the Rockets' fast-paced offensive system. Unfortunately, the Rockets also have a lot invested in the players above him on the depth chart, so he will likely have a minimal role next season. Do not plan on targeting him in the majority of Fantasy formats on Draft Day.
News: Rockets guard Patrick Beverley has showed flashes of being an intriguing player this season, but he appears to have hit a wall recently. Beverley was held scoreless over nine minutes of action Friday against the Timberwolves, the fourth time in the past five games that has happened. Beverley did not attempt a shot in the game, and added just one assist and one rebound, in a 108-100 win.
Analysis: Beverley is averaging just 1.2 points per game over the last five, while shooting just 13.3 percent from the field. Beverley might have a future in this league as a backup point guard, averaging 3.6 assists in that same span, but he is clearly not worth using in any Fantasy formats down the stretch, barring a role change.
News: With the trade of Toney Douglas prior to the deadline, Rockets guard Patrick Beverley has been taking on a bigger role in recent days. Beverley played 22 minutes off the bench Saturday against the Wizards, scoring a career-high 15 points on 6 of 9 shooting. Beverley nailed 3 of 5 three-point attempts, and added four rebounds and three assists, in a 105-103 loss.
Analysis: Beverley has cemented his place as the team’s primary point guard off he bench, averaging 17.7 minutes per game in the month of February. He is averaging 5.7 points and 3.6 assists per game in that span, so Fantasy owners should still not expect many performances like Saturday’s. At this point, he remains just a low-end Fantasy reserve in deeper formats.
News: Rockets guard Patrick Beverley logged a career-high 17 minutes during Friday's contest against the Pacers. Beverley scored a career-high eight points in the 105-95 win on 3 of 8 shooting from the field. He made both of his attempts from downtown and also added three rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block to his stat line, while logging 17 minutes of game action.
Analysis: Beverley made his NBA debut for the Rockets Tuesday night and has appeared in the two games that have followed as well. He saw the majority of minutes at backup point guard Friday night and it appears coach Kevin McHale may be leaning towards replacing Toney Douglas in the rotation. Still, even if that happens, the 24-year-old would only have minimal Fantasy value in deeper formats. In the meantime, Beverley should be left on the waiver wire in the majority of formats.
