Spencer Dinwiddie News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Returns to starting role Dinwiddie is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Dinwiddie will return to the starting lineup due to the absence of Kyrie Irving (back). The veteran floor general is averaging 15.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

Heads back to bench Dinwiddie isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Kyrie Irving will replace Dinwiddie in the starting five Tuesday after missing Dallas' last five contests due to a bulging disc in his back. Dinwiddie is averaging 9.5 points, 3.6 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 23.1 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Hands out 10 assists Sunday Dinwiddie posted 16 points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Sunday's 112-101 loss to Denver.

Impact Dinwiddie had a rough showing from the floor and missed nine of his 13 attempts, but he salvaged his fantasy performance by tying his season-high mark in the assists department. The veteran floor general has looked good of late, starting in seven of Dallas' last eight games while averaging 14.4 points, 5.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 0.5 steals per contest.

Strong showing in Tuesday's start Dinwiddie finished with 19 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 118-97 win over the Lakers.

Impact With Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back) both unavailable, Dinwiddie has started five of the last six games, but his production during that stretch has been unpredictable. Over the previous three contests, the veteran guard had scored a total of just 16 points on 6-for-17 shooting (35.3 percent). Dinwiddie should continue seeing increased court time for at least another week or two, and his potential to pop for a ceiling game -- he also dropped 30 points on the Kings on Dec. 30 -- gives him some appeal as a DFS tournament play.

Starting Tuesday Dinwiddie will enter the starting lineup in Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Dinwiddie will return to the starting five after coming off the bench in Monday's loss to Memphis, during which he posted six points (2-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three assists and a rebound across 30 minutes. The veteran point guard has seen a significant bump in playing time with Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back) sidelined, and over his last five outings (four starts), Dinwiddie has averaged 12.6 points, 4.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds across 29.4 minutes per game.

Coming off bench Monday Dinwiddie is not in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Monday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Dinwiddie has started in each of the Mavericks' last four games, though he struggled in his last outing against the Cavaliers on Friday, finishing with two points on 1-for-7 shooting along with five assists and four rebounds over 23 minutes. Naji Marshall and Klay Thompson will serve as the Mavericks' two starting guards Monday while Dinwiddie reverts to the bench.

JANUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team with 30 points in loss Dinwiddie closed with 30 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-12 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 110-100 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Kyrie Irving (shoulder) missed Monday's game to rest his nagging shoulder injury, but Dinwiddie was excellent in picking up the sack. Irving deserved the night off after a string of solid totals to account for Luka Doncic's (calf) absence, but Dinwiddie proved that he can also shoulder the load when needed. The veteran guard is expected to be a key piece of Dallas' solution to the Doncic problem, making him a worthwhile fantasy addition if he's available.

Begins fill-in role with 17 points Dinwiddie totaled 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes during Saturday's 126-122 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Although players like Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy will occasionally step in, the Mavericks will use a backcourt of Dinwiddie and Kyrie Irving to account for Luka Doncic's (calf) absence, with Irving sliding over to point guard as the lead facilitator. Dinwiddie's adjusted role as the off-guard allowed him to have a diverse line with solid three-category production, making him a great addition off the waiver wire if he is still available.

Starting vs. Portland Dinwiddie is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Dinwiddie will get the nod in the starting lineup due to the suspension of Naji Marshall and the absence of Luka Doncic (calf). Dinwiddie has made just two starts this season, averaging 17.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 3.0 steals in that two-game stretch between Dec. 19 and Dec. 21.

Rejoins reserves Dinwiddie will come off the bench Monday against Portland, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Dinwiddie drew a pair of starts while Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving dealt with injuries but with both guards healthy, Dinwiddie will return to his bench role. In 26 appearances this season, Dinwiddie is averaging 8.5 points and 3.3 assists across 22.3 minutes.

Comes close to double-double Dinwiddie recorded 19 points (6-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-95 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Dinwiddie made his first start of the season Thursday since the Mavericks were very depleted in the backcourt due to the absences of Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Luka Doncic (heel). The veteran floor general responded well by coming close to a double-double, ending three dimes shy of that outcome. Over his last 10 games, Dinwiddie is averaging 13.7 points, 4.9 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals per contest.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Thursday vs. Clippers Dinwiddie will start in Thursday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact With Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Luka Doncic (heel) sidelined, Dinwiddie will pick up his first start of the season Thursday. Over his last 10 outings, the veteran guard has averaged 12.5 points, 4.9 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 27.7 minutes per contest.

Held without a point Dinwiddie registered zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists across 21 minutes during Sunday's 143-133 win over the Warriors.

Impact Dinwiddie was held without a point for the sixth time this campaign. He remains hard to trust in fantasy formats, and he's currently outside the top-200 in nine-category formats with averages of 7.8 points, 3.1 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 21.4 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores nine points Dinwiddie racked up nine points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Dinwiddie had an inefficient night on the offensive end, something that's been the norm for most of the season. Through 23 regular-season contests, he's hitting 40.1 percent from the field with averages of 8.2 points, 3.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.4 three-pointers. He's hard to trust outside of deeper fantasy formats.

Scores 20 points off bench Dinwiddie had 20 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 137-131 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Dinwiddie was the third-highest scorer for the Mavericks in this win, and the veteran floor general continues to make a sizable impact off the bench for Dallas. He's arguably going through his most productive stretch of the season, however, as he's scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances. The uptick in usage rate is directly to the absences Dallas has had of late, with Klay Thompson (foot), Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Naji Marshall (illness) all missing Sunday's contest.

Doncic has 36 points and 13 assists in return, Mavericks down the Trail Blazers 137-131

Luka Doncic returned from a wrist injury and had 36 points in the Dallas Mavericks’ 137-131 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • Associated Press

Hands out nine assists Wednesday Dinwiddie totaled 21 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 win over the Knicks.

Impact Dinwiddie missed just three of his 11 shots from the field and finished just one assist away from recording a double-double. However, fantasy managers shouldn't get overly excited about this performance. Dinwiddie is not expected to crack the starting lineup any time soon, and head coach Jason Kidd has preferred to start Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy with Luka Doncic (wrist) sidelined, so this means Dinwiddie's fantasy upside remains pretty limited due to his role.
