Though he was enjoying a productive season riding shotgun in the backcourt with Luka Doncic prior to being traded from Dallas to Brooklyn in early February, Dinwiddie's fantasy value has risen now that he's settled in at point guard with the Nets rather than in the off-ball role he often filled with the Mavericks.
