Dana Evans - Sees 22 minutes in blowout loss Evans provided three points (1-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 81-54 loss to Indiana.

Impact Evans saw a sizable workload Thursday due to the lopsided score, so fantasy managers should keep that in mind. Through 17 games, Evans is averaging 16.6 minutes per night with 4.9 points and 1.7 assists on 29.9 percent shooting from the field.
