Posts 11 points with second unit Rivers provided 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one block across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 127-115 victory over the Clippers.
Impact Since returning to the bench, Rivers' numbers have taken a definite hit, averaging only 7.8 points, 3.0 assists and 1.8 rebounds. Although he's one injury away from a starting role, him finding a double-digit scoring total similar to Tuesday's result will be rare in his current spot on the depth chart.

Scores 15 in starting role Rivers ended with 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 131-124 victory over the Warriors.
Impact Rivers joined the starting unit with Will Barton (ankle) unable to play in the contest, and the veteran put together a solid performance that included his highest scoring output since late January. Points had been hard for Rivers to come by of late, as he entered Monday averaging just 4.5 points over 13 contests since the start of February. It's unclear how long Barton will be out, and Rivers could see some additional starts if the shooting guard needs to miss additional contests.
