Neto posted 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, two rebounds and three steals over 33 minutes in Saturday's 98-83 victory over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old managed a rare double-digit scoring performance, with Saturday's haul equaling Neto's season high in scoring and representing his first such effort since a 12-point outing versus San Antonio on Dec. 14. Neto also received a season-high 33 minutes and put up a season-high 10 shot attempts, with both figures at least partially prompted by the absence of backcourt mate Rodney Hood (ankle).

Neto saw just 15 minutes in Wednesday's blowout loss to the Warriors, posting two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds, and two steals.
EDGE Analysis
There isn't too much to worry about here in regard to Neto's minutes, because the blowout outcome didn't require him to stay in the game for long. With both Trey Burke and Alec Burks doing some scoring off the bench, Neto didn't get too many minutes, but owners can expect him to hit his usual 20-plus a night over coming games.

Neto put up nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 20 minutes in Monday's 110-89 win against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Neto just recently made his way back into the starting lineup and he hasn't disappointed so far. He's averaging 9.3 points, two rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.5 threes over the last four games on 65 percent shooting from the field. While he probably won't keep up his hot shooting, he's still getting enough minutes to put up numbers sufficient for deep league ownership.

Neto will return to the starting lineup Friday, David Locke of The Zone Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neto came off the bench Wednesday after starting every other game he had played in this season. While he is returning to the starting lineup Friday, expect Alec Burks to continue getting a heavier workload.

Neto hit the bench for the second time in three games in Wednesday's 104-94 loss to the Pelicans. He finished with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt) and two assists in 10 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Neto has shot the ball well the last two games, knocking down all four of his three-point attempts, but that's not likely going to do much to earn him an uptick in minutes. The Brazilian rookie is still very much a defensive-first point guard who isn't much of a playmaker, and his limited offensive ceiling won't earn him major playing time regardless of if he starts or comes off the bench. Alec Burks -- who entered the starting lineup again Wednesday -- aong with Rodney Hood and Trey Burke all retain more fantasy appeal among the Jazz's backcourt players.

Neto posted 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 21 minutes in Monday's 81-118 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Neto is coming off a DNP-CD from Sunday's game, and he's seen his minutes dwindle down over the past few games. It's unclear if his return to the starting lineup is a permanent one, but it's good to note that he may have played just 21 minutes due to the blowout outcome. It's worth monitoring his minutes over the coming days to see if he makes it back into the rotation.

Neto will start Monday against the Spurs, Jody Genessy of the Deseret News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neto logged his first DNP-CD of the season Sunday against the Thunder but coach Quin Snyder will flip the script just a day later by moving Alec Burks back to the bench. Even though Neto is back on the court, however, the rookie has failed to produce much in the way of counting stats this season and is only viable in deeper formats as a result.

Neto was dropped from the starting lineup and didn't see any minutes off the bench in Sunday's 104-98 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Even after starting each of the Jazz's previous 21 games at point guard, Neto rarely saw the court beyond the beginning portions of each half, as he's only averaging 17.1 minutes on the season. He had seen his usage decline even more significantly prior to Sunday's game, playing a season-low 10 minutes in Friday's loss to the Thunder. Coach Quin Snyder decided to shake things up in the rematch with Oklahoma City, as Alec Burks started at point guard and played 37 minutes, with Trey Burke filling in for 17 minutes off the bench. Unless Snyder has a sudden change of heart or decides he needs more of a defensive-minded presence at point guard, it looks like Neto could be headed for a third-string role.

Neto is dealing with a minor right index finger injury, Jody Genessy of the Deseret News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neto broke the same finger two years ago, but luckily this time the injury is nothing serious. Although he's expected to play with his right index and middle finger taped, it's unlikely to have much of a negative impact on his production.

Neto managed a career-high 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal over 18 minutes in Saturday's 122-119 overtime victory over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie posted a career-high point total, aided by his second-best shooting percentage on the season (62.5) and best accuracy rate from beyond the arc (66.7). It was certainly an encouraging performance for his fantasy owners, and a highly efficient one for Neto, considering he only received 18 minutes on the floor. However, it's precisely that abbreviated allotment of opportunity that continues to considerably limit Neto's ceiling, as backup Trey Burke continues to to outpace him in playing time on the overwhelming majority of nights.
