Modest performance Saturday
Russell compiled seven points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's preseason loss to the Hornets.
Analysis
Russell was somewhat disappointing again Saturday, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to his career in Dallas. While he did hand out a team-high five assists, his shooting let him down, both from the field and the stripe. With Kyrie Irving likely out until at least January with a knee injury, Russell will serve as the starting point guard. He is worth drafting in all standard leagues, although managers may have to temper their expectations given the talent around him.

Deals five assists in preseason win
Russell totaled five points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT, 1-3 3Pt), five assists and two rebounds over 15 minutes in Monday's 106-89 preseason win over Oklahoma City.
Analysis
Russell will be the clear starter at point guard for the Mavericks until Kyrie Irving (knee) returns. Irving will remain out until January at the earliest, and Russell should see max minutes due to a lack of clear competition on the depth chart.
