Dorell Wright played just 17 minutes and finished with eight points, four rebounds, two assists and two 3-pointers on 3-of-8 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Hornets.
Here we go again. Wright was hot coming in, averaging 17 points, seven boards, a steal, a block and 3.5 3-pointers over his last four games, before struggling in his last two. The minutes crunch is the biggest concern here, as he saw them stolen by Brandon Rush (16 points, four 3-pointers, 30 minutes) and Richard Jefferson (8 points, 5 rebounds, a steal, block and two 3-pointers in 29 minutes) tonight. He'd played between 31 and 44 minutes over his previous six games, but was the odd man out tonight. If you want to know how many minutes Wright will play in the next one, we're afraid only Mark Jackson knows the answer.

Dorell Wright had 17 points, seven rebounds, a steal, two blocks and four 3-pointers in 34 minutes of Friday's ugly home loss to the Bucks.
Wright is hot, averaging 17 points, seven boards, a steal, a block and 3.5 3-pointers over his last four games. It took most of the season to get here, but it finally looks like Wright's slump is over, just in time for his five-game week.

Dorell Wright denied that he wanted to be traded.
"I never said anything about me wanting to go any where. I want to be here. I didn't say none of that," he said. Wright said he had no idea where the rumor came from and has never expressed interest in being traded.

Dorell Wright played well for the third straight game, hitting 5-of-9 shots and two 3-pointers on his way to 16 points and seven rebounds in 33 minutes on Wednesday.
He's played 30-plus minutes in three straight games, averaging nearly 17 points, seven rebounds, three 3-pointers, a steal and block per game over that stretch. It's a small sample size and Stephen Jackson could eventually hurt Wright's value, but he looks like an automatic pickup again now that he's heating up.

Dorell Wright scored 14 points on 4-of-11 shooting (including four threes) with 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 33 minutes on Tuesday.
Let's be clear, the Warriors are looking to move Wright and with that so obvious today it's also obvious why the playing time has gone to Brandon Rush this year -- he's a part of their future and Wright might not be. We think owners should hold here, as Stephen Jackson might be flipped and the end result might be a few extra minutes as Rush steps into the void created by Monta Ellis' exit (behind Klay Thompson). All in all, though, owners might be holding onto a dead asset in a few days. We'll see.

Dorell Wright followed up Saturday's two-point dud with 20 points on 7-of-10 shooting in Sunday's victory, with four 3-pointers, five rebounds, two steals and one block in 31 minutes.
We've catalogued Wright's failings and there's no need to reiterate them -- it suffices to say that he'd scored double-digit points in only five of the past 16 games (playing 30+ minutes one time during that stretch). We wouldn't blame you for stashing him, just in case, but this game belies a season of inconsistency -- for instance, he scored 16 points on 6-of-6 shooting in the first quarter tonight before reverting to form.

The Warriors scored 111 points in Saturday's victory, two of which came from starting SF Dorell Wright.
Wright made 1-of-4 shots and chipped in five rebounds, four assists, one steal and zero turnovers. He hasn't provided sufficient 12-team fantasy value for over a month.

Dorell Wright started, but missed his only shot and failed to score in 10 minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies.
There were no reports of injury and you have to wonder if Mark Jackson is getting ready to replace Wright in the starting unit with Klay Thompson or Brandon Rush. Thompson had 16 points, six rebounds and three 3-pointers in 27 minutes tonight, while Rush had 11 points, six boards, and a 3-pointer in 32 minutes. It's purely speculation on our part that a lineup change could be coming, but it's hard to think otherwise after Wright's line tonight.

Dorell Wright hit three 3-point shots on Monday against the Wizards, scoring nine points on 3-of-8 shooting with four rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 23 minutes.
It's not ideal but it works for owners in 8- and 9-cat formats, though Wright was probably benches for the experience. He needs to do more before Mark Jackson will stop giving his minutes to Brandon Rush (10 points, 4-of-5 FGs, two threes, three rebounds, two assists, 27 minutes), who is the subject of Jackson's man-crush.

Even with Stephen Curry sidelined, Dorell Wright could only muster three points on 1-of-9 shooting in Sunday's loss in Toronto.
Wright added six rebounds, two assists and one steal. He remains one of the season's biggest fantasy busts, as his production has dropped in nearly every category from a year ago. Over the past four games he's averaging 5.5 points per game, and clearly shouldn't be in active lineups.
