Shabazz Napier Disappoints In Start Versus Houston
7 years agoPortland Trail Blazers point guard Shabazz Napier made his ninth start of the year Thursday against the Rockets with Damian Lillard (ankle) out, but he ended up disappointing a lot of DFS players, scoring just eight points in 29 minutes with four rebounds and two assists. The starting lineup didn't work at all, with everybody ending up on the minus side in plus/minus, and that's what killed Napier's chances in a rare opportunity. He did have a solid 13-point, four-assist game on Tuesday against Dallas, but he's not getting any consistent minutes with Lillard and C.J. McCollum both healthy, which looks to be the case on Saturday against San Antonio, as Lillard has said that he's aiming to return.
