Dorell Wright played 33 minutes off the bench on Monday, scoring 22 points with eight boards, six assists, one steal, one block and four 3-pointers.

It's his third positive showing in a row with 14.0 points and 2.0 triples in his last two games. Wright is worth a look for owners looking to get some threes and steals on Wednesday.
Apr 15 - 11:12 PM

Dorell Wright provided a spark off the bench in a 91-77 win over the Cavs, scoring 15 points with four assists, one steal, one block and three 3-pointers in 25 minutes.

It's his third game in a row with at least 13 points and he's hit 2.0 triples per game in that span. Wright is worth a long look for a spot-start in standard leagues on Monday against the Pistons.
Apr 14 - 7:58 PM

Dorell Wright hit just 3-of-10 shots for nine points, three rebounds and a 3-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Nets.

Wright has cooled off recently, while Nick Young is suddenly coming on. Keep a close eye on this situation and think about moving on from Wright if Young (18 points tonight) continues to keep coming on, and Wright struggles again in the next one.
Apr 9 - 10:39 PM

Dorell Wright (elbow) had 10 points and seven rebounds in 29 minutes in his return vs. the Heat on Saturday.

Wright missed one game with a minor elbow injury but he should finish the season with his usual 20-25 minute role off the bench. He looked plenty healthy during a vicious put-back dunk in the first half tonight, and he's worth a look if you need 3-pointers with a dash of across-the-board upside.
Apr 6 - 10:27 PM

Dorell Wright (elbow) will not play Friday.

Wright had been performing well as a strict spot-up shooter off the bench. Look for Damien Wilkins to push for 35 minutes.
Apr 5 - 6:25 PM

Dorell Wright will be a game-time decision on Friday against the Hawks after aggravating his right elbow contusion.

Wright has seen 21 minutes or fewer in three straight games as Damien Wilkins has soaked up a ton of minutes on the wing, so even if he sits, it really shouldn't impact fantasy lineups outside of giving Wilkins a longer leash. Doug Collins said that newly-signed Justin Holiday could see a few extra minutes if Wright sits.
Apr 5 - 11:47 AM

Dorell Wright had 14 points in 19 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's loss to the Bobcats.

Don't overreact here and sprint out for a pickup. Wright happened to get off with his 3-point shot, going 4-of-7 from the land of trey. But he's well behind both Damien Wilkins and Evan Turner right now, and is just a spot-up shooter.
Apr 3 - 9:40 PM

The 76ers won on Saturday despite getting just three points and two rebounds from backup swingman Dorell Wright, who also committed three fouls in 20 minutes.

Wright is now a combined 1-of-10 from the field in the past two games. His burst of double-digit scoring is a quickly receding memory, but his next big game could be right around the corner, especially with Jason Richardson and Nick Young nowhere in sight.
Mar 30 - 11:40 PM

Dorell Wright hit 5-of-13 shots and three more 3-pointers for 14 points, two rebounds and five assists in Wednesday's win.

He's played very well in three straight games and looks like a nice option in any sized league for now. He has scored 14, 19 and 22 points in each of his last three with steals, assists and 11 3-pointers during that stretch.
Mar 27 - 9:42 PM

Dorell Wright turned in his second productive game in a row against the Jazz on Monday, scoring 19 point with two boards, four assists, three steals and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

After a goose egg on Thursday, Wright has turned it on with a 22-point game on Sunday and this nice line against the Jazz. He looks be be locked in right now and he's worth a look for owners that need steals and threes.
Mar 25 - 11:50 PM

Dorell Wright lit up the Kings for 22 points, three rebounds and six assists on Sunday, while knocking down 6-of-10 shots from beyond the arc.

Wright also blocked a shot and turned the ball over just once in 30 minutes. This comes on the heels of a scoreless performance in 15 minutes on Thursday, but on most nights his production should fall somewhere between the two extremes.
Mar 25 - 12:00 AM

Dorell Wright scored 16 points off the bench on Monday, hitting 5-of-14 shots (including two threes) with eight rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 34 minutes.

Wright also hit all four of his freebies, and with Nick Young getting a DNP-CD it's looking a bit more likely that Wright can retain enough minutes to hold low-end value. Give him a hard look if he's on your wire.
Mar 18 - 10:03 PM

Dorell Wright had 13 points, two rebounds, two assists, three steals, a block and three more 3-pointers on 5-of-12 shooting in Wednesday's tough loss to the Heat.

Wright did most of his damage in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough against one of the hottest teams in history, as the Heat won their 20th straight game. Wright is hot and came in averaging 13.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.4 3-pointers in his previous seven games. Nick Young finally returned from his sprained ankle tonight, but had just three points in six minutes. Wright is worth owning in all leagues as long as Young doesn't stifle his minutes going forward.
Mar 13 - 11:37 PM

Dorell Wright shot 6-of-10 from the field for 15 points with one board, two assists, one steal and three 3-pointers against the Nets on Monday.

He's been productive in his previous six games, averaging 13.5 points, 1.0 steals and 2.3 triples in just 24.8 minutes. He'll be worth starting in most leagues while Nick Young (ankle) remains out, but these two will likely share time once Young can return.
