Austin Rivers A. Rivers

Austin Rivers (hand) downgraded to out for Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Austin Rivers (hand) will not play against the Orlando Magic on Friday.

What It Means:

Rivers is playing 21.6 minutes per game, and without him, we should see Jamal Crawford get an uptick in minutes.

Crawford, who ranks 94th in the league with a -2.1 nERD, is still producing decent numbers in his 16th year in the league. He's averaging 18.3 points, 4.0 assists and 2.4 rebounds per 36 minutes. However, he is a risky fantasy play tonight against a Magic team giving up the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing shooting guards.
