RecapBryce McGowens finished Sunday’s loss to the Lakers with 23 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers.
With Trey Murphy, Herb Jones and Jordan Hawkins all ruled out due to injury, McGowens had more opportunities to contribute offensively in his second consecutive start. The wing, who’s on a two-way contract, recorded a career-high point total while shooting 50 percent from the field. McGowens’ fantasy value in Week 7 hinges upon Murphy’s availability. If Trey can play against the Timberwolves on Tuesday, there won’t be much to gain from adding McGowens to your roster.
