3 years agoDenver Nuggets small forward Austin Rivers (hip) has been cleared to participate in Friday's contest against the Celtics after missing one game due to a tight right hip flexor. Rivers' role has fluctuated drastically over the past three weeks, making him a volatile DFS option in any format. With Monte Morris (concussion) sidelined, Rivers has the possibility to be worked into the backcourt with a higher frequency among the second unit, but he has combined to score just eight points in his last four outings. On pace to tie set a career low with 5.5 field goal attempts per game, Rivers' role in the offense has not portended to fantasy relevance in 2021-22.--Jesse Borek
