Dorell Wright played a season-high 40 minutes against the Rockets on Wednesday and scored 20 points with six rebounds, six assists and three 3-pointers. Wright is coming off a massive seven-trey game on Tuesday and has played in 31.5 minutes per game in his last four. Wright could also see some excellent short-term value with Evan Turner (ankle) up in the air for the weekend, but don't forget that he was non-existent with a healthy Jrue Holiday.

Dorell Wright caught fire on Tuesday, hitting 8-of-18 shots and a season-high seven 3-pointers on his way to a season-high 25 points, five boards, and two assists in 30 minutes. He's played between 26 and 30 minutes in three straight games with Jrue Holiday sidelined, but hadn't hit double figures in scoring in his previous 17 games, as hard as that may be to believe. Maybe he's worked his way back into the mix, but it's crowded in Philly with Holiday, Nick Young, Evan Turner and Jason Richardson all getting run at the guard and small forward spots. In other words, we'll need to see Wright do this again once Holiday's back before recommending he be an automatic pick up. This was possibly a fluke.

Dorell Wright played 30 minutes on Friday with Jrue Holiday (foot) out, scoring nine points on 3-of-7 shooting with nine rebounds, four assists, and one steal. Doug Collins called on Wright to shoot with more confidence a few days ago, perhaps sensing that he would be needed with Holiday out. Whether it was his confidence or not, Wright has been a ghost after a solid preseason and early start. We need to see more before looking at him as an add.

Dorell Wright, who is shooting 32.6 percent this season, has the green light from Doug Collins to keep shooting. "I just don't want him to hesitate," Collins said. The coach added that Wright's shot currently looks flat, and he hasn't played more than 20 minutes in any game since November 24. After logging heavy minutes early in the season, owners in standard formats can do better than Wright when looking for help off the waiver wire.

With Nick Young (toe) unavailable, Dorell Wright logged 19 minutes in a loss the Bulls that snapped Philly's four-game win streak. D-Wright finished with five points, three rebounds and three turnovers in 19 minutes. This marks the ninth time in 10 games that he's played under 20 minutes, as even Young's absence wasn't sufficient for Doug Collins to let him loose.

Dorell Wright played 33 minutes on Saturday and had nine points, six rebounds, two steals and three 3-pointers vs. the Thunder. Nick Young also came off the bench for 25 minutes and scored nine points with one 3-pointer. Wright saw some extra playing time tonight with Jason Richardson (ankle) going down due to injury. Richardson is "50-50" to play on Sunday, so owners in standard leagues can leave Wright on the wire.

Dorell Wright could see a boost in playing time as the Sixers look to shake up the starting lineup. Doug Collins didn't elaborate on his plans for the starting lineup, but he praised Wright for his readiness despite the swingman not playing much time recently. Wright hasn't eclipsed 20 minutes since November 14, but Collins likes his production and he could be in line for increased time once again before too long.

Doug Collins said that Dorell Wright's reduction in playing time has been to give Nick Young more of an opportunity. Wright has played a combined 17 minutes over his last two games. "I thought [Wright] was struggling a little bit and I wanted to give Swaggy (Nick Young) a chance," Collins said. "Swaggy came in and did well." Hearing Collins refer to Young as just "Swaggy" is a sight to behold, but the real takeaway here is that Wright doesn't offer much to owners if he isn't getting the playing time to contribute.

Dorell Wright was invisible in 12 minutes off the Sixers' bench on Sunday. He finished with three points and four rebounds, as Jason Richardson's return has hurt him even more than we anticipated. With an average of 3.0 points over the past three games, fantasy owners have little choice but to cut him.

Dorell Wright played just five minutes on Friday, with just two missed shots and a turnover to his credit. Yes, Jason Richardson (7-of-12 FGs, 20 points, eight boards) was on fire tonight, but this is far from typical and we wouldn't be surprised to learn of an injury soon. Owners will want to exercise as much patience as possible in case this is a short-term issue, but passing a hot free agent like Alexey Shved is not advisable.
