• Wizards' Raul Neto: Offers secondary scoring in start

  6D ago •

  Neto posted 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two assists and two rebounds in 25 minutes Tuesday in the Wizards' 128-107 win over the Suns. Neto was making his fourth start of the season in place of Westbrook, and he should be in line for at least a couple more turns with the top unit since the point guard is tending to a quadriceps injury and isn't expected to be re-evaluated until late in the week. While the Brazilian turned some heads with a 22-point, five-assist, four-rebound outing in his first start in place of Westbrook back on Dec. 27, Neto's returns have been more modest in his subsequent three starts. He's played between 20 and 25 minutes in each of those games, essentially splitting point-guard duties with Ish Smith.

  16D ago •

  Neto will start Friday's game against the Timberwolves with Russell Westbrook resting, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

He returned to the bench for the Wizards' last two games and is coming off of a 15-point, four-rebound, three-steal effort in 22 minutes Thursday night against Chicago.

• Wizards' Raul Neto: Posts well-rounded, efficient line

  17D ago •

  Neto tallied 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three steals and one assist across 22 minutes off the bench Thursday in the Wizards' 133-130 loss to the Bulls. The 0-5 Wizards have been one of the league's early disappointments, but Neto's performance through the first five games has been a silver lining. Neto has shot efficiently (55.6 percent from the field, 40 percent from three-point range) while filling out the stat sheet nicely (10.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game) in his 17.6 minutes per contest. With Russell Westbrook expected to rest Friday in Minnesota for the second leg of the back-to-back set, Neto should slot into the starting backcourt alongside Bradley Beal. He'll make for a nice streamer in season-long leagues with daily lineup changes, as well as an intriguing value play in DFS contests.
