Report: Raptors acquire G Spencer Dinwiddie from Nets The Toronto Raptors are acquiring guard Spencer Dinwiddie from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for guard Dennis Schroder and forward Thaddeus...
Headed to Toronto Dinwiddie was traded from the Nets to the Raptors along with Dennis Smith on Thursday in exchange for Dennis Schroder and Thaddeus Young, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Dinwiddie served as the Nets' starting point guard to begin the 2023-24 campaign but saw a slight decrease in the production across the board, averaging 12.6 points, 6.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 30.7 minutes per game. Immanuel Quickley has been the starting point guard in Toronto since being traded from New York, so Dinwiddie will likely have to settle for a backup role with his new team.

Scores 16 points in loss Dinwiddie amassed 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 136-120 loss to the Suns.
Impact Dinwiddie's share of time quarterbacking the Nets' offense was threatened by Ben Simmons' impressive return from a season-long absence Monday, but with the latter back on the shelf against Phoenix due to a knee injury, Dinwiddie was able to return to his usual 30-minute role Wednesday. The point guard put up modest numbers but shot efficiently and ranked second on the team with five dimes, and he ended January with per-game averages of 10.0 points, 4.9 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers over 14 games on the month. Those stats make Dinwiddie an end-of-roster option, at best, in standard nine-category fantasy leagues, and it's easy to imagine his court time and production taking a hit if Simmons is able to get back on the court and work his way up to more substantial playing time during the second half of the campaign.

Top distributor in defeat Dinwiddie provided 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists and one block over 33 minutes during Sunday's 125-114 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Dinwiddie led all Nets in assists while ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Dinwiddie has recorded at least 15 points and five assists in 15 games, including in two of his last three outings. Dinwiddie now has handed out seven or more assists 18 times this year.

Improved performance Wednesday Dinwiddie closed with 19 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 105-103 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Dinwiddie turned in an encouraging performance Wednesday, tallying 19 points and seven assists. After a lean couple of weeks, anyone rostering Dinwiddie was breathing a sigh of relief after this effort. It remains to be seen whether this was the start of an upward trend or simply an outlier. For now, managers should sit tight and hope that he works his way back into starters minutes.

Good to go Thursday Dinwiddie (illness) is available and in the starting lineup for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers.
Impact Dinwiddie has been upgraded from questionable to available despite being a late addition to the injury report with a non-COVID illness. Dinwiddie is averaging 10.4 points, 4.8 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 29.4 minutes across his last five appearances.
JANUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Now deemed questionable Dinwiddie is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers due to an illness, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Impact Dinwiddie is in danger of missing just his third game this season due to a non-COVID illness. Dennis Smith and Cam Thomas would likely receive extended minutes if Dinwiddie is ruled out.

Goes for 23 points Friday Dinwiddie closed Friday's 124-115 win over the Thunder with 23 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block over 33 minutes.
Impact Dinwiddie reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Dec. 2, and he played a big role in this win, allowing the Nets to finally snap a five-game losing streak. Even though the veteran floor general has adapted to a secondary role on offense, he can still produce big games from time to time. Even though he's not likely to carry the Nets offensively on a regular basis, he remains a decent fantasy alternative across all formats.

Posts donut in blowout loss Dinwiddie finished with zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and five assists over 21 minutes in Tuesday's 112-85 loss to the Pelicans.
Impact It was the 20th time in Dinwiddie's 10-year NBA career that he scored zero points in a game and the first time since Dec. 18, 2021 when he played for the Wizards. The Nets were limited to just 34 points in the first half, and with being down by 27 heading into the fourth quarter, Brooklyn opted to sit Dinwiddie and the rest of the starters. He'll have a chance to bounce back against the Rockets on Wednesday.
JANUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Balanced outing in return Dinwiddie ended with 17 points (5-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 110-104 loss to the Wizards.
Impact Dinwiddie missed Wednesday's game due to rest, returning Friday by leading the Nets in assists while finishing second in rebounds and scoring and ending two boards short of a double-double. Dinwiddie has tallied at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in nine games this season, posting 15 or more points for the first time since Dec. 18 against Utah.

Set to return Friday Dinwiddie (rest) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Dinwiddie sat out Wednesday's game against Milwaukee due to rest purposes, but he'll be back in action against Washington. He's played at least 30 minutes in each of his last six appearances, averaging 12.0 points, 7.2 assists and 4.2 rebounds in 34.0 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Resting Wednesday Dinwiddie has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to rest purposes, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Impact Dinwiddie has scored in single digits in two of his last three appearances, and he'll be sidelined for the second time this season in the back end of a back-to-back set. It wouldn't be surprising to see him return to action Friday against Washington, but Dennis Smith and Cam Thomas could see increased roles Wednesday.

Modest production continues Dinwiddie produced 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 126-115 victory over Detroit.
Impact Dinwiddie is averaging 13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 7.3 assists in 32.4 minutes per game across his last 10 contests. Shooting 40.0 percent on 12.5 shots per game hasn't yielded any boom appeal, but he's posted a 4.0 AST/TO ratio over that span, building on a career-best, season-long 3.8 AST/TO ratio. His volume is moderate, however, as Dinwiddie ranks 22nd league-wide with 11.1 potential assists per game.
DECEMBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Notches double-double Monday Dinwiddie supplied 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 36 minutes during Monday's 125-108 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Dinwiddie finished second on the Nets to Cam Thomas in scoring in the contest, as the pair combined for 49 of the team's 108 points. Dinwiddie also logged 11 of Brooklyn's 25 assists, allowing him to record his second straight double-double and fourth overall this season. The veteran point guard is shooting just 40.9 percent on the campaign, but he's otherwise offered useful production with 15.0 points, 7.0 dimes, 4.2 rebounds, 2.1 triples and 0.9 steals over 25 games this season.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tallies season-high 14 assists Dinwiddie logged 16 points (6-13 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, 14 assists, one block and three steals across 40 minutes during Saturday's 124-120 loss to Golden State.
Impact Dinwiddie continues to rack up the assist numbers, having recorded at least seven dimes in 10 of the past 12 games. He has scored double-digits in all but five games thus far, doing exactly what he needs to be doing for anyone rostering him in fantasy. In a punt field goal percentage build, Dinwiddie should continue to provide points and assists with a smattering of steals and threes.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Posts well-rounded effort in win Dinwiddie closed with 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 win over the Suns.
Impact Each of the Nets' starters scored between 14 and 24 points, and Dinwiddie finished third on the team with his 16-point effort. He added team-high marks with eight boards and seven dimes while tying for the team lead with a pair of steals. Dinwiddie doesn't typically put up the type of rebound numbers he logged Wednesday, but he's been pretty consistent of late as a scorer and distributor, recording at least 14 points and at least seven assists in each of his past three games.
DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Comes close to double-double Dinwiddie notched 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and seven assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 131-118 loss to the Kings.
Impact Dinwiddie came up short to record a double-double for the second game in a row, and while he can deliver off nights from time to time, he has a strong floor both as a scorer and playmaker. Over his last 10 outings, Dinwiddie is averaging 17.3 points, 7.5 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Productive against Orlando Dinwiddie had 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Saturday's 129-101 win over the Magic.
Impact Dinwiddie was impressive on both ends of the court and played well as the primary playmaker in Brooklyn's dominant win Saturday. The veteran floor general is not monopolizing the orchestrating of the offense, but he has still delivered solid numbers on the offensive end. He has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games while averaging 6,5 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in that span.

Impact Dinwiddie has done a fine job leading the Nets offensively in the absence of Cam Thomas (ankle) and Ben Simmons (back). His last four games has been the best stretch of his season, as he averaged 21.8 points, 9.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 2.8 three-pointers. The bad news is that he shot 37.3 percent from the field.

Impact Dinwiddie's workloads have been through the roof with the Nets missing Cam Thomas (ankle) and Ben Simmons (back). His production has been stellar as well, as he's averaging 19.2 points, 8.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 2.7 three-pointers in 35.7 minutes over his last six games. The bad news is that he's averaging just 0.5 steals and shooting 40.7 percent from the field in that stretch.

Impact The veteran guard used the extra time to produce his first double-double of the season while scoring more than 20 points for the third time in 13 games. Dinwiddie had a bumpy start to 2023-24, but he appears to be rounding into form -- over his last six contests he's averaging 16.8 points, 6.7 assists, 4.7 boards and 2.3 threes.
