EDGE Analysis
The 0-5 Wizards have been one of the league's early disappointments, but Neto's performance through the first five games has been a silver lining. Neto has shot efficiently (55.6 percent from the field, 40 percent from three-point range) while filling out the stat sheet nicely (10.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game) in his 17.6 minutes per contest. With Russell Westbrook expected to rest Friday in Minnesota for the second leg of the back-to-back set, Neto should slot into the starting backcourt alongside Bradley Beal. He'll make for a nice streamer in season-long leagues with daily lineup changes, as well as an intriguing value play in DFS contests.
