Analysis:

Starting in place of LaMarcus Aldridge, who sustained a lower back contusion Wednesday, Wright achieved double-digit points for a second consecutive game. The sudden increase in run was expected following the aforementioned injury, and even though Aldridge is expected to miss two tilts, before an evaluation early this coming week, Wright should be able to sustain some value due to Mo Williams' upcoming two weeks on the pine due to a strained right hip. Nevertheless, Wright's certain offerings will be contained to points and three-pointers, keeping his relevance just outside of standard formats.
