Beverley totaled 18 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 assists, five rebounds, a steal and a block over 36 minutes in Friday's 116-111 victory over the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old turned in one of his best all-around performances of the season, recording his first double-double of the campaign while also draining a season high in three-pointers. Beverley rarely takes as active a role in the offense as he did Friday, so this type of production is rather fleeting in all likelihood. However, he continues to offer serviceable production across the stat sheet as a mid-tier option at point guard in both season-long formats and daily leagues.

Beverley contributed 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds, three steals, and one block across 26 minutes during the Rockets' 130-81 win over the Grizzlies on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Following Saturday's scoreless effort versus the Hornets, Beverley responded with a rebound performance on Monday. Though he is known primarily for his defensive abilities, Beverley is averaging 9.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.1 steals, 1.9 threes, and 0.6 blocks in 33 minutes per matchup during March.

Beverley tallied 13 points (4-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three assists, three rebounds, and two steals across 38 minutes in Monday's 128-121 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley didn't exactly light up the score sheet, but he's nonetheless taken on a larger role offensively of late. He's topped double-digit points in four of the Rockets' last five games while shooting a respectable 47.9 percent from the floor and 36.8 percent from three-point range. While it's nice to see his scoring on the rise, Beverley contributes a woefully low total of assists from the point guard spot, which continues to make him a lower-tier fantasy option at his position.

Beverley managed 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, an assist and a pair of steals over 24 minutes in Thursday's 119-105 victory over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
The four-year veteran continued his recent productive stretch of play on offense, managing his third straight double-digit scoring performance. In addition to his usual defensive prowess, Beverley has been proficient on the glass as well over that stretch, tallying six boards in two of the three contests. While his scoring-based production is certainly up-and-down--as evidenced by his four consecutive single-digit scoring outings leading up to the All-Star break--Beverley continues to be a fairly consistent source of rebounds, assists and steals even when his points are not up to par.

Beverley (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley sat out of the All-Star skills competition after tweaking his ankle in Houston's final game heading into the break, but he will be back in the fold for Friday's game against the Suns.

Beverley tweaked his left ankle in Wednesday's 116-103 loss to the Trail Blazers, and the injury will prevent him from defending his title in the skills competition at this weekend's NBA All-Star festivities in Toronto, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury didn't force Beverley to exit Wednesday's game prematurely, as he played 32 minutes and finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four assists, and one rebound. Still, because the ankle has bothered him at various points this season, Beverley isn't inclined to risk further injury in a meaningless competition. He's expected to be good to go for the Rockets' first game out of the break Feb. 19 against the Suns.

Beverley had six points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds, two steals and a block in 26 minutes on Thursday in a win against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley put together a productive night across the stat sheet and he's becoming a pretty reliable option overall. He'll never wow you with his point total, but all in all, Beverley is someone that garners more recognition. One thing that goes overlooked is Beverley's ball security; in the last eight games, he hasn't had more than one turnover, and in that same span, there have been four games where he hasn't had a single turnover. Beverley is the last option to score points in the Rockets' starting lineup, but he just gets it done in other ways.

Beverley contributed 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals across 35 minutes in Monday's 112-111 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley has now logged 30-plus minutes while playing back-to-back nights in his first two games back from an ankle sprain, so there doesn't seem to be much reason to worry about his health. The point guard has amassed a total of 16 boards and backcourt mate James Harden has ripped down 26 boards over those two games, but the rebounding opportunities for both should significantly decline once the Rockets get Dwight Howard (ankle) back from injury.

Beverley (knee) played 31 minutes in Sunday's 115-104 win over the Mavericks, finishing with seven points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists, and one block.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley reclaimed his spot in the starting lineup and led the Rockets' point guards in minutes, signifying that his ankle is no longer much of a concern after the injury sidelined him for four of the previous six games. While Beverley attacked the glass well Sunday, his porous shooting limited his impact on the offensive end, and those struggles could eventually result in him sacrificing more playing time to backup Ty Lawson, who has hit double figures in the scoring column in each of the last three contests.

Updating a previous note, Beverley (ankle) will start on Sunday against the Mavericks, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beverley was questionable heading into the game but has been cleared to play and will start after missing the past two contests. He could see his minutes slightly restricted due to the injury, if that is the case, look for Ty Lawson and Jason Terry to see more action off the bench.
