Patrick Beverley knocked down four 3-pointers against the Wolves on Thursday, scoring 14 points with two boards, three assists, two steals and one turnover in 25 minutes.
His shooting from beyond the arc has been a roller-coaster ride since the All-Star break and he's at the peak eight now with six of his last 11 going in. Thanks to a huge slump earlier this month, Beverley came into tonight shooting just 35.8 percent from downtown since the break to go with averages of 10.7 points, 2.9 boards 2.7 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.4 blcosk and 1.4 triples. He's worth owning in standard leagues.

Patrick Beverley took advantage of Monday's matchup during a 124-86 blowout win, scoring 19 points with seven boards, three assists, one steal and two 3-pointers.
He shot 6-of-9 from the field and all nine shots either came at the rim or behind the arc -- the Houston Rocket special. Beverley's 3-point shooting fell off a cliff before tonight's 2-of-4 line, making just 2-of- 18 in his previous six games. He's played 32.1 minutes per game in March and looks like a nice option as a No. 2 point guard in standard leagues.

Patrick Beverley shot 5-of-14 from the field for 15 points with five assists, four steals, one block and one 3-pointer in 36 minutes vs. the Heat on Sunday.
It was his third consecutive game with a field goal percentage below 36 percent and Beverley can't seem to make his shots. The good news is his minutes are there with an average of 30.3 per game in that span, so he's worth owning for his output in points, steals, dimes and triples.

Patrick Beverley missed all four of his 3-point attempts on Thursday vs. the Bulls, finishing with nine points, three boards, three assist and no turnovers in 30 minutes.
Well, that hot streak from downtown seems to be over. Over his last five games, Beverley shot just 7.7 percent from deep with averages of 7.2 points, 1.8 boards, 2.4 assists and 1.8 steals in 29.8 minutes per game. Everybody was expecting him to cool off, but the law of averages was a littler harsher than we expected. If there's a hot free agent out there and you don't need the steals, Beverley is a cuttable player.

Patrick Beverley had two points, two rebounds, three assists, two steal and five fouls on 1-of-4 shooting in 25 minutes against Russell Westbrook and the Thunder on Tuesday.
To be clear, Beverley was possessed tonight, shrugging off his offensive responsibilities and being solely focused on annoying Westbrook. He even tried the "timeout steal" against Westbrook, which is the play that resulted in Westbrook tearing a meniscus and undergoing another surgery. Beverley is one of the league's best defensive players, but if he doesn't start working on getting it going on the offensive end of things, his fantasy value will continue to be very limited.

Patrick Beverley (broken hose) logged 26 minutes in Friday's blowout win over the Pacers, scoring nine points on 4-of-6 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds, five assists and a steal.
Beverley took a shot to the nose at one point but stayed in the game and turned in a fairly normal effort. Owners may be a bit gun shy after a very quiet outing on Wednesday, but he had been playing well enough to be in all lineups prior to that.

Patrick Beverley (broken nose) will play in Friday's game against the Pacers.
Beverley might not even wear the mask he's been fitted for. The defensive stopper and 3-point shooter is averaging 2.4 3-pointers and 1.4 steals over his last five games.

Patrick Beverley suffered a broken nose against the Magic on Wednesday and will be fitted for a mask on Thursday.
He was popped in the nose by Tobias Harris and it caused some bleeding. Beverley had gauze in his nose for much of the game and he was able to play through the injury. His shot wasn't falling tonight and he'll look to get back on track against the Pacers on Friday.

Patrick Beverley hit just 1-of-8 shots for four points, zero rebounds, one assist and two steals in Wednesday's win over the Magic.
Ronnie Price started at point guard for the Magic with Jameer Nelson sidelined and committed six turnovers. While Beverley was responsible for many of them, it's little consolation to his fantasy owners. He had 19 points and a nice line in Tuesday's win over the Heat, but didn't do anything in this one. Beverley was starting to come on a bit, but after this nightmare, owners will have to weigh options when setting lineups, as he's simply not having a good season offensively.

Patrick Beverley's offensive output continued on Tuesday during an impressive 106-103 win over the Heat, scoring 19 points with two boards, two assists, three steals and five 3-pointers in 33 minutes.
For whatever reason, Patrick Beverley has transformed into Patrick B3v3rl3y lately for the Rockets. In his previous 13 games, he's made 2.2 triples per game on 46.7 percent from that range and the Rockets are kicking the ball out to him a ton. His defense has been phenomenal and now that he's hitting shots with a decent sample size, he looks like he's locked and loaded as a must-start player in standard leagues.
