Dellavedova (hamstring) logged 17 minutes in his return to the court in Thursday's 106-95 triumph over the Bulls. He tallied seven points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, and one assist.

EDGE Analysis

During Dellavedova's five-game absence prior to the All-Star break, coach Tyronn Lue had responded by giving starting point guard elevated minutes, and that trend continued Thursday even though Dellavedova was back in the picture. Dellavedova more or less claimed Mo Williams' spot in the rotation, as Williams didn't play while Irving saw 31 minutes of court time. Now that Irving seems to have his restrictions fully lifted since his return from a fractured kneecap in late December, it seems fairly safe to conclude that Dellavedova's season average of 26.1 minutes will only plunge in the final two months of the campaign.
