Tue Jul 2 201320:22Expect Thunder to go hard at Dorell Wright
Now that Kevin Martin is in Minnesota, look for the Thunder to make a strong push for free agent swingman Dorell Wright.
The Thunder were already "aggressively" pursuing Wright, but now that Martin is officially gone, expect them to make Wright an even bigger priority. Wright was inconsistent last season, but would be a nice addition on both ends of the floor after averaging just 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.7 3-pointers per game for the Sixers last year.

Mon Jul 1 201313:38Thunder looking at UFA Dorell Wright
The Thunder have begun an "aggressive pursuit" of Dorell Wright, per Yahoo! Sports.
He's on his way out of Philadelphia as an unrestricted free agent with the Sixers all set to begin the rebuilding process. The Thunder could lose Kevin Martin in free agency since they don't have the cap space to keep him should a team like the Bucks make a big offer. Wright would be an interesting piece for fantasy owners seeking 3-pointers.

Tue Apr 9 201322:39Dorell Wright quiet in loss to Nets
Dorell Wright hit just 3-of-10 shots for nine points, three rebounds and a 3-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Nets.
Wright has cooled off recently, while Nick Young is suddenly coming on. Keep a close eye on this situation and think about moving on from Wright if Young (18 points tonight) continues to keep coming on, and Wright struggles again in the next one.

Sat Apr 6 201322:27Dorell Wright returns in 29 minutes off bench
Dorell Wright (elbow) had 10 points and seven rebounds in 29 minutes in his return vs. the Heat on Saturday.
Wright missed one game with a minor elbow injury but he should finish the season with his usual 20-25 minute role off the bench. He looked plenty healthy during a vicious put-back dunk in the first half tonight, and he's worth a look if you need 3-pointers with a dash of across-the-board upside.

Sat Mar 30 201323:40Dorell Wright posts second straight dud
The 76ers won on Saturday despite getting just three points and two rebounds from backup swingman Dorell Wright, who also committed three fouls in 20 minutes.
Wright is now a combined 1-of-10 from the field in the past two games. His burst of double-digit scoring is a quickly receding memory, but his next big game could be right around the corner, especially with Jason Richardson and Nick Young nowhere in sight.

Wed Mar 27 201321:42Dorell Wright still playing well off bench
Dorell Wright hit 5-of-13 shots and three more 3-pointers for 14 points, two rebounds and five assists in Wednesday's win.
He's played very well in three straight games and looks like a nice option in any sized league for now. He has scored 14, 19 and 22 points in each of his last three with steals, assists and 11 3-pointers during that stretch.

Dorell Wright turned in his second productive game in a row against the Jazz on Monday, scoring 19 point with two boards, four assists, three steals and two 3-pointers in 32 minutes.
After a goose egg on Thursday, Wright has turned it on with a 22-point game on Sunday and this nice line against the Jazz. He looks be be locked in right now and he's worth a look for owners that need steals and threes.

Mon Mar 25 201300:00Dorell Wright hits six 3s, scores 22 points
Dorell Wright lit up the Kings for 22 points, three rebounds and six assists on Sunday, while knocking down 6-of-10 shots from beyond the arc.
Wright also blocked a shot and turned the ball over just once in 30 minutes. This comes on the heels of a scoreless performance in 15 minutes on Thursday, but on most nights his production should fall somewhere between the two extremes.

Mon Mar 18 201322:03Wright scores 16 points off the bench
Dorell Wright scored 16 points off the bench on Monday, hitting 5-of-14 shots (including two threes) with eight rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 34 minutes.
Wright also hit all four of his freebies, and with Nick Young getting a DNP-CD it's looking a bit more likely that Wright can retain enough minutes to hold low-end value. Give him a hard look if he's on your wire.

Wed Mar 13 201323:37Dorell Wright scores 13 with full stat line
Dorell Wright had 13 points, two rebounds, two assists, three steals, a block and three more 3-pointers on 5-of-12 shooting in Wednesday's tough loss to the Heat.
Wright did most of his damage in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough against one of the hottest teams in history, as the Heat won their 20th straight game. Wright is hot and came in averaging 13.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.4 3-pointers in his previous seven games. Nick Young finally returned from his sprained ankle tonight, but had just three points in six minutes. Wright is worth owning in all leagues as long as Young doesn't stifle his minutes going forward.

Mon Mar 11 201322:06Dorell Wright scores 15 points on Monday
Dorell Wright shot 6-of-10 from the field for 15 points with one board, two assists, one steal and three 3-pointers against the Nets on Monday.
He's been productive in his previous six games, averaging 13.5 points, 1.0 steals and 2.3 triples in just 24.8 minutes. He'll be worth starting in most leagues while Nick Young (ankle) remains out, but these two will likely share time once Young can return.

Sat Mar 9 201300:41Dorell Wright plays 26 minutes, plays some PF
Dorelll Wright played 26 minutes against the Heat on Friday, scoring 14 points with three boards, one assist and three 3-pointers.
He saw some action at power forward and Wright is building some momentum. Wright averaged 14.4 points, 1.5 steals and 2.8 triples in his last five games and he's worth a look in standard leagues. Nick Young could come back soon and hurt Wright, but given the way Young struggled before getting hurt, it's not all that likely.

Wed Mar 6 201322:15Dorell Wright continues to surge for Sixers
Dorell Wright stayed hot with 20 points, nine rebounds, three steals and three 3-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.
With Nick Young (ankle) sidelined, Wright has capitalized on a boost in playing time. He played 32 minutes in this one, the most he's seen since Dec. 26. It marks the fifth straight game that Wright has played 23 minutes or more. Although Young's return is a concern, Wright is certainly earning a role down the stretch as the woeful Sixers play out the string. His roto-friendly game makes him worth a look.

Tue Mar 5 201322:43Dorell Wright puts up numbers in 23 minutes
Dorell Wright hit just 3-of-13 shots and two 3-pointers for 10 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in Tuesday's loss.
Wright is suddenly relevant with Nick Young (ankle) iffy for the whole week, and has hit double figures in four of his last five games, playing at least 23 minutes in each of them. It may be time to pick him up again, although he could easy return to irrelevance if Young comes back and gets heavy minutes.

Sun Mar 3 201320:56Dorell Wright scores 15 pts in losing effort
Dorell Wright scored 15 points with three 3-pointers, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block off the bench vs. the Wizards.
Wright is averaging 26 minutes in his past three games, though it must be noted that Nick Young (ankle) hasn't been active for the past two. Doug Collins' rotations tend toward 'erratic' and he's shown no inclination to give Wright regular minutes with the roster near full strength, so for the moment we're viewing this surge with skepticism.

Sat Feb 23 201323:51Dorell Wright scores 17 points w/ five 3s
Playing 32 minutes off the Sixers bench on Saturday, Dorell Wright scored 17 points with five 3-pointers, four rebounds, one assist and zero turnovers.
It's nice to see D-Wright finally get some playing time, as this was only the second time in over a month that he's cracked 25 minutes. Unfortunately, with his role tenuous and Thaddeus Young (hamstring) reportedly targeting a return on Sunday, Wright is doubtful to hold reliable value.

Wed Feb 20 201323:54Dorell Wright takes stitches, scores 10
Dorell Wright hit 2-of-6 shots (both 3-pointers) for 10 points, two rebounds and two assists in Wednesday's loss.
He took a couple stitches in his chin tonight and is still not getting enough minutes to be used in fantasy leagues.

Wed Feb 6 201323:40Dorell Wright has 9 points, 8 rebounds
Dorell Wright, who had scored a total of 10 points in his previous four games, played 30 minutes and hit 4-of-8 shots and a 3-pointer for nine points, eight rebounds, three assists, a steal and two blocks in Wednesday's loss.
He can put up some big numbers if Doug Collins will give him minutes, but that hasn't been the case lately. Maybe this is a sign that Wright is ready to start playing again, so just keep a close eye on him over his next game or two, in case it happens.
