Wendell Carter Jr. - Off shooting night FridayCarter registered two points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Friday's 123-110 win over the Pelicans.

Given Carter's previous track record and his typical contributions in numerous categories, he's still worth starting in the vast majority of formats, even if he struggles on occasion.
