7 years agoWashington Wizards guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. impressed with added playing time Thursday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Wizards went small throughout the game to combat the quicker Cavs, utilizing Oubre's defense and improved offensive shooting. Oubre responded with 17 points, five rebounds and two steals in 32 minutes. Although this is encouraging for Oubre's fantasy stock, the smaller lineup will not likely continue for Friday's contest against Dwight Howard and the Charlotte Hornets. The Wizards will be more inclined to use center Marcin Gortat to combat Howard's physicality, which will push Oubre back to around 25 minutes off the bench.--Dale Johnson - RotoBaller
