Spencer Dinwiddie's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers guard Spencer Dinwiddie is expected to make his team debut in Tuesday's matchup against Detroit. The veteran has his first practice session with the Lakers on Monday. Dinwiddie's fantasy value takes a hit in Los Angeles, as he won't be a starter, but injuries have left quite a few gaps in the lineup, and we should still see plenty of him on Tuesday. However, Dinwiddie needs to start hitting shots if he wants to carve out a significant role in L.A. The 30-year-old is shooting just 39 percent from the field this season with a 32 percent success rate from downtown.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Raptors plan to waive guard Spencer Dinwiddie. The veteran was traded to Toronto ahead of Thursday's deadline, ending his second stint with the Brooklyn Nets. Although he has had a down year up to this point, primarily due to the emergence of Cam Thomas, he still had more than a few solid outings for fantasy managers. Dinwiddie has averaged 13.6 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.1 assists in 514 regular season games. The 30-year-old probably won't remain without a team for long, and he'll likely land a routine role in a rotation wherever he ends up. Managers in all formats should keep Dinwiddie on the roster for now, considering his numbers could improve moving ahead.

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie was dealt to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for Dennis Schroder and Thaddeus Young ahead of the trade deadline on Thursday. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, he's expected to be waived by the Raptors so they can save $1.5 million for a games played bonus that was in his contract. The 30-year-old has been going through a very rough shooting year as he's only knocked down 39.1% of his shots on 10.4 attempts per game. He has, however, collected 6.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds per contest while limiting his turnovers to 1.3 a night. A competitive team in need of a backup point guard will likely take a look at him on the buyout market, but he'll be a wait-and-see type of player for fantasy managers looking to add him.
