Shines defensively in win Lively finished Thursday's 74-51 win over Oral Roberts with four points (2-3 FG), 12 rebounds, one assist and six blocks across 29 minutes.
Impact Lively only scored four points but looked impressive defensively, as his 12 boards and six swats were second-best marks of the season for the freshman. Lively is averaging 7.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.1 blocks and 1.5 assists per game since becoming a full-time starter in late January, and he should retain that role when Duke takes on Tennessee on Saturday.

Goes for 11 points in loss Lively registered 11 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 26 minutes during Monday's 81-59 loss to Miami (FL).
Impact Lively was nearly perfect from the field and also contributed on the glass in a game where Duke looked outmatched from start to finish. This 11-point output tied the big man's best scoring mark of the season, but considering Lively has scored in double digits just twice throughout the entire campaign, he can't be trusted as a reliable fantasy performer going forward.

Starting on Saturday Lively will start for Duke on Saturday as they play Georgia Tech on the road.
Impact Lively has started 11 games for the Blue Devils, but only averages 15.9 minutes per game. The freshman big man has been a regular contributor for Duke, though, and he'll log his first start since January 4th. Lively is averaging 4.0 points and 3.6 rebounds on the season.

Moves to bench unit Saturday Lively isn't in the starting five for Saturday's game against Boston College.
Impact Lively will come off the bench for the first time since Nov. 15. However, he has only scored one point total in his last two outings.

Ineffective in start Lively provided one rebound and two blocks over 12 minutes during Saturday's 86-67 victory over Florida State.
Impact Lively still has a long ways to go to live up to his billing as the No. 1 overall recruit in the nation, per multiple publications. It's sometimes foul trouble that limits him, but on Saturday, he didn't attempt a single shot over 12 minutes on the court. Meanwhile, upperclassman Ryan Young put up 20 points and 12 rebounds in the contest off the bench, and he has been averaging 8.1 points and 7.1 boards on the season. If Lively couldn't be productive in a start against one of the conference's worst teams in both defensive efficiency and rebounding, it's fair to wonder if he'll develop into a viable fantasy option at all during his freshman campaign.
