Aminu started with Dirk Nowitzki (rest) out Thursday, but scored just two points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in 22 minutes. He finished the game with four rebounds, an assist and two steals.

Aminu even played fewer minutes than Charlie Villanueva, who jacked up 14 shots Thursday in a blowout win of the Kings. Aminu hasn't scored more than 16 points in a game this season, and that mark came all the way back in October. He's only been seeing more playing time as of late, but just doesn't produce enough on the offensive end to be an option in standard leagues.

Aminu will start for Dirk Nowitzki (rest) at Sacramento on Thursday, the Cowbell Kingdom reports.

Aminu has started two games this season, but a better indicator of his potential Thursday is his output the past five contests: 9.4 points (on 52 percent shooting), 6.8 rebounds, 2.6 steals, 1.8 blocks, 1.4 assists, and 0.8 three-pointers in 26 minutes per game. Because he can contribute across the board, he's a sneaky daily fantasy play.

Aminu scored 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) Wednesday in loss to the Warriors. He added seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block.

Aminu had a spectacular defensive-effort against the Rockets, but right now he isn't likely to get the minutes to be a consistent fantasy option. He's averaging 11.3 minutes per game in January and just 14.0 minutes a game this season. If Chandler Parsons happens to miss any time, Aminu could be a solid play if he can get more minutes on a regular basis.

Aminu played 12 minutes Tuesday in a loss to Memphis. He finished with four points, three rebounds, two steals, and a blocked shot.

Aminu is capable of putting up fantasy friendly stat-lines but has to earn more minutes to warrant consideration in all formats.
