Covington took back his starting role at small forward after missing the previous three games with a right hand contusion, but an ugly night from the field prevented him from delivering a productive outing for fantasy owners. Prior to suffering the injury, Covington was coming off a productive January, during which he averaged 13.7 points (on 43.2% shooting), 7.1 rebounds, 2.2 three-pointers, 2.1 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.2 blocks in 33.6 minutes per game. That sort of well-rounded production isn’t easily found, so Covington should still make for a useful fantasy option while he sees sizable minutes.
