76ers' Robert Covington scorching hot in season opener
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington scored 29 points with seven three-pointers in Wednesday's 120-115 loss to the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Over 29 minutes, Covington torched the Wizards from deep as he fed off all the attention shown to Joel Embiid and rookie Ben Simmons. He finished the game 9-of-15 from the floor and 7-of-11 from three while securing nine rebounds and blocking two shots. We can expect a lot more games like this as Covington spaces the floor in Philadelphia.
Priced at $6,400, Covington exceeded his projection (28.8 FanDuel points) by 14.1 in tallying 42.9 FD points on opening night. He is projected for 29.5 FanDuel points in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics.
