Cedric Coward made his first career start against the Cavaliers, recording 10 points, eight rebounds, and two assists. Initially doubtful, Coward’s presence on the court marks a positive step in his rookie season, despite limited game time of 24:32. With Memphis’ rotations posing challenges, Coward’s move to the starting lineup is an encouraging sign, albeit his performance offered modest returns for fantasy owners. Available in 63% of Yahoo! leagues, he remains an option worth monitoring.
