John Wall gets first start of the season, scores 14 with five assists

John Wall made his first start of the season in a win Friday over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wall played well, making 6-of-10 shots and 2-of-3 free throws for 14 points. The Wizards point guard added a rebound, five assists and two blocks.


Despite starting, Wall played few minutes -- just 21 -- than his last five games. In those games, he averaged 27.2 minutes (14.4 points, 3 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks). He should be in all lineups going forward. 


Jordan Crawford led the Wizards with 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 FT), three 3-pointers, three assists and a steal. He's been more cold than hot lately. He's owned in 52-percent of leagues.

Bradley Beal, who has dealt with a sore wrist, added 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-2 FT) with two 3-pointers, a rebound and a career-high four blocks. He's 68-percent owned and should be held in all leagues.
