Rocket Watts - Minimal output in debut Watts (hip) tallied just two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3PT) and an assist over nine minutes in his season debut Wednesday versus Detroit.
Impact Watts missed the first two games of 2021-22 due to a hip issue but was eased back into action in this one. The junior transfer from Michigan State figures to be a larger part of the rotation once he's up to speed after averaging 8.8 points, 2.8 assists and 1.8 boards a season ago with the Spartans. He typically plays on the ball, which could make him a viable fantasy option when he's full-go.
