He may not do much, but THJ will absolutely shoot some 3-pointers. When they don't go in, things don't go well. However, that wasn't the case in this one, even if it wasn't enough to help his team secure their first win of the season. He's only rostered in 6% of Yahoo leagues, but he has played 30.6 minutes per game so far and provided top-150 value in 9-cat leagues thus far. He'll be inconsistent, but if you're in need of a 3-point boost in a deeper league, THJ could be your answer.
Ivey was 0-for-2 from behind the three point line. His best games last year were when he would get hot from behind the arc, but with Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Malik Beasley in town, those games might be few and far between. Harris, THJ and Beasley all attempted at least six threes as did Cade Cunningham. It's encouraging that Ivey was still able to put up 17 points in the contest, but maybe he won't have as many 20-point games this year.
Hardaway has been upgraded from questionable to available for Detroit's season opener. The veteran wing will start alongside Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Tobias Harris, and Jalen Duren, giving him a boost for fantasy managers needing points and 3-pointers. However, as in Dallas, managers should not expect too much from Hardaway.
