• Puts up 22 points in win Thursday
    Bogdanovic closed with 24 points (9-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 43 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime win over Boston.

    Advice: Bogdanovic's final stat line seems nice, but he struggled from deep once again, and he's gone 4-for-15 from three-point range over his last two games. He's talented enough to bounce back sooner rather than later, though, and he's scoring enough to remain viable in fantasy with most leagues in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:37 pm
  • Explodes for career-high 44 points
    Murray racked up 44 points (18-44 FG, 6-19 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 47 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime victory over the Celtics.

    Advice: Murray had one of the best games of his career on a night when the Hawks desperately needed him. He delivered by posting a career-best scoring output, and he capped it off by hitting the game-winning shot with less than a second left in overtime. Murray continues to play at an extremely high level in the absence of Trae Young (finger), and he's experiencing quite an uptick as a scorer, recording 28 or more points in four of his last five appearances.

  • Goes for 22 points in upset loss
    White produced 22 points (8-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime loss to the Hawks.

    Advice: White returned from a one-game absence and continues to play at an extremely high level in what has been a career-best season for him. He's now scored at least 17 points in each of his last five outings, topping the 20-point mark three times in that stretch. Even though he holds a secondary role in an offense led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, White remains an absolute must-start player in fantasy since he plays a solid two-way role for one of the best teams in the league while also shooting the ball at a very efficient clip from beyond the arc.

  • Leads from three in balanced game
    McCollum tallied 25 points (9-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 40 minutes in Thursday's 107-100 win over Milwaukee.

    Advice: McCollum led all New Orleans players in threes made and assists while ending as one of two Pelicans with 25 or more points to boost the team in a well-rounded performance. McCollum has tallied 25 or more points in 11 games this season, posting at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in seven outings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:47 pm
     
  • CJ McCollum notches 25/7/7 in win over Milwaukee
    CJ McCollum accumulated 25 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, a steal and three triples Thursday in a 107-100 win over the Bucks.

    Advice: McCollum dropped 18 points in the first half to help New Orleans build a 61-45 lead going into the break. Zion Williamson scored the same number of points in the second half, as McCollum’s scoring quieted down quite a bit to end the game. Still, he provided his fourth straight game with at least 23 points. McCollum is averaging under 20 points per game for the first time since the 2014-15 season, but he’s taken on an expanded role as a scorer with Brandon Ingram out of action. In four games since Ingram headed to the sidelines with a left knee injury, McCollum has averaged a robust 25.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 4.5 triples, and his stellar play is a big reason why the team is 3-1 in that span.

  • Malik Beasley scores 20, hits six treys in loss
    Malik Beasley ended Thursday’s loss to the Pelicans with 20 points, two rebounds, a block and six three-pointers across 33 minutes.

    Advice: Beasley got off to a good start, scoring 12 points and hitting four three-pointers in the first half. Beasley has been a solid streamer for points and especially triples over the last three weeks, knocking down 3.7 triples across his last nine outings. He’s been awesome in those two categories, but Beasley rarely contributes anything meaningful in any other categories, making him a one-dimensional option and not a must-roster player in 12-team leagues.

  • Leader from deep in 20-point game
    Beasley posted 20 points (6-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over 33 minutes in Thursday's 107-100 loss to New Orleans.

    Advice: Beasley led all players in Thursday's contest in threes made to go along with a pair of rebounds and ending as one of two Bucks players with 20 or more points in a losing effort. Beasley has connected on six or more threes in eight games this season, burying at least five threes in two straight outings. Thursday marked the ninth time Beasley has recorded 20 or more points.

  • Derrick White posts 22/7/5/1 with five triples
    Derrick White racked up 22 points, seven rebounds, five assists, a steal and five three-pointers in 41 minutes Thursday in an OT loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: White sat out Monday’s matchup with the Hawks, but he returned from a one-game absence to provide a stellar final line. In his first two matchups with Atlanta this season, White averaged a healthy 18/5/9/2 line with 2.5 triples, and he picked up right where he left off against a vulnerable Atlanta defense. Despite preseason worries that he might cede meaningful minutes and quality production to Jrue Holiday, White is enjoying the best statistical campaign of his career. He’s ranked 27th in per-game fantasy value and will surely finish the season as one of fantasy’s biggest draft-day values. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:27 pm
  • Celtic slayer: Murray drops 44, hits game-winner
    Dejounte Murray finished Thursday’s OT win over Boston with 44 points on 18-of-44 FG, adding seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals, a block and six triples across 47 minutes.

    Advice: Oh, mama, what an effort! Murray got off to a hot start in this one, leading all scorers with 19 first-half points. His stellar night was just beginning as Murray dropped 14 in the third and fourth quarters to finish regulation with 33. He scored every one of Atlanta’s OT points to finish with a new career-high in the scoring department. His biggest bucket of the night was a middy with one-tenth of a second left to give Atlanta a one-point victory. Volume was key for Murray, and his 44 shot attempts are the most by any player in a single game since Russell Westbrook jacked up 44 way back on October 28, 2016. This was Murray’s 14th 20-point effort through 18 games post-All-Star break. With Trae Young sidelined, Murray has shined as a scorer and a facilitator, averaging better than 25 points and nine dimes without his backcourt partner. Atlanta finishes out the week with a home game against Milwaukee, and Murray will look to stay productive in that one. He dropped 30 points in his last game against the Bucks back on December 2, and he looks like a man on a mission following back-to-back victories over first-place Boston. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:14 pm
