Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Spurs 8-0 run in third quarter
Rotowire
DiVincenzo racked up 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 120-109 victory over the Pelicans.
DiVincenzo started out slow but popped at the right moment, leading an 8-0 run that cut the Pelicans' lead in half in the third quarter. He ended up finishing a solid all-around line, bouncing back from a lull over the past two games in which he produced just two points. Despite the strong showing Tuesday, DiVincenzo still couldn't clear 25 minutes, and the recent return of Gary Payton from an extended absence looks as though it'll put a ceiling on DiVincenzo's playing time moving forward.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Scoreless across 19 minutes
Rotowire
DiVincenzo amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds over 19 minutes during Friday's 120-112 victory over the 76ers.
DiVincenzo played fewer than 20 minutes for the second time over the past three games and was held scoreless for the first time since Dec. 27. After posting 13.3 points across 12 February appearances, DiVincenzo is averaging just 8.3 points over the Warriors' first 13 games in March.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Pours in 18 points
Rotowire
DiVincenzo finished with 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 127-119 loss to the Hawks.
DiVincenzo was in a brutal slump to begin the month of March, but he's starting to stabilize for his fantasy managers. Over his last four games, DiVincenzo has been a seventh-round value in nine-category leagues with averages of 14.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.3 three-pointers.
DiVincenzo finished with 20 points (7-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 37 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 overtime win over Milwaukee.
DiVincenzo had one of his worst games as a starter this season his previous time out, scoring just two points and missing all four of his three-point attempts across 21 minutes against Memphis. He bounced back in resounding fashion Saturday, notching his third double-double of the campaign and tying his career high with six three-pointers. Despite this big performance, fantasy managers would be wise to avoid rushing to grab him off the wavier wire. Over his previous five contests, DiVincenzo averaged just 5.6 points on an ugly 23.5 percent shooting mark over 30.8 minutes per game.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Night to forget Thursday
Rotowire
DiVincenzo totaled two points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Thursday's 131-110 loss to the Grizzlies.
DiVincenzo was terrible in the loss, putting up arguably his worst performance of the season. He was replaced in the starting unit to open the second half, although his relegation did nothing to sweeten what was a sour night. While production like this certainly warrants him being dropped, the fact he had been playing well prior to this -- he's not too far removed from back-to-back 21-point outings to close out February -- should afford him at least a couple of games to get things back on track.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Stays hot from three
Rotowire
DiVincenzo finished with 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 win over the Trail Blazers.
Over his past three appearances, DiVincenzo has averaged 19.0 points per game and has made 14 of his last 27 three-pointers (56 percent). He's drawn five straight starts in the absence of Andrew Wiggins (personal) and figures to remain a prominent piece of the rotation until Wiggins and Stephen Curry (lower leg) return to the starting five.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Bounces back after five-point dud
Rotowire
DiVincenzo finished Friday's 116-101 win over the Rockets with 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds in 35 minutes.
Making his third consecutive start while Andrew Wiggins (personal) remains away from the team, DiVincenzo bounced back nicely from a five-point showing in 24 minutes in the Warriors' blowout loss to the Lakers a night earlier. Head coach Steve Kerr has said that Wiggins remains without a timetable for a return, and with Stephen Curry's (lower leg) return date also hazy, DiVincenzo could continue to pick up additional starts to go along with elevated minutes. Through 10 appearances in February, DiVincenzo is averaging 11.8 points, 3.2 assists, 3.1 treys, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 26.8 minutes while shooting 51.2 percent from the field.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Scores 17 points off bench
Rotowire
DiVincenzo posted 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three assists, two steals and one rebound in 25 minutes during Monday's 135-126 win over Washington.
DiVincenzo bounced back from a five-point performance during Saturday's loss to the Lakers by notching his fifth double-digit scoring outing over his last six games. During that stretch, he's averaging 13.5 points, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals while shooting 53.7 percent from deep (6.8 attempts per game). As long as Stephen Curry (leg) remains sidelined, DiVincenzo can be expected to garner a major reserve role for the Warriors, who are struggling to stay relevant in the Western Conference without their MVP candidate.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Scores in double digits again
Rotowire
DiVincenzo amassed 18 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three steals, two rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 125-122 loss to Portland.
Though he's continued to come off the bench in both of the first two games of Stephen Curry's (lower leg) indefinite absence, DiVincenzo has offered some useful production while seeing a slight uptick in playing time. He's averaged 16.0 points, 4.5 assists, 4.5 three-pointers, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 29 minutes per game between those two contests, and though his 50 percent success rate from three-point land probably isn't sustainable, DiVincenzo shouldn't see his production dip too significantly if his shooting falls off. He looks like a strong pickup in 12-team category leagues where he's still available.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Passable production Monday
Rotowire
DiVincenzo ended Monday's 141-114 victory over Oklahoma City with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds and seven assists across 28 minutes.
DiVincenzo was able to cobble together a serviceable fantasy line Monday, thanks in part to the fact the game descended into garbage time. With Stephen Curry (knee) likely to be sidelined until March, DiVincenzo could be in for a small bump over the coming weeks. His overall value is typically reliant on assists and steals, although his ability to score from the perimeter is proving to be a consistent part of his game. He won't be for everyone but probably should be rostered in most 12-team formats.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Sneaky double-double in win
Rotowire
DiVincenzo chipped in 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, 11 assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 129-117 victory over the Raptors.
DiVincenzo was quietly productive once again Friday, continuing what has been an intriguing period. Despite the return of Stephen Curry, DiVincenzo has been able to maintain 12-team value, proving to be one of the more significant additions this season. He has scored double-digits in three of his past four games, tallying a combined 25 assists and 11 three-pointers. Of course, the eventual return of Andrew Wiggins (illness) will complicate things, but for now, DiVincenzo is certainly worth a look.

DiVincenzo registered 22 points (7-17 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 144-113 victory over the Spurs.
The Warriors secured a 31-point win over the Spurs, so DiVincenzo was among several reserves that logged more minutes than usual. This was DiVincenzo's best scoring mark of the season, and while he's not expected to score at this rate going forward, he's still managed to score at least 15 points in four of his last nine outings.
