• Solid output in starting role
    Hunter finished Thursday's 123-122 overtime victory over Boston with 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 0-3 FT), 13 rebounds and one assist across 40 minutes.

    Advice: Hunter has been starting in recent days and delivered another strong showing, as he's taking advantage of the fact that Jalen Johnson (ankle) and Saddiq Bey (knee) are out, with the latter not returning until next season. Hunter has reached the 20-point mark in three of his last five starts while also doing it in five of his previous eight appearances overall. Rotowire.com Today, 8:38 pm
  • 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 fortunately for him, he's scoring enough to avoid his fantasy stock to make a massive hit now that most leagues are in the playoffs.

  • Explodes for career-high 44 points
    Murray chipped in 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.

  • Stuffs stat sheet in loss to Hawks
    Porzingis notched 20 points (8-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 41 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime loss to the Hawks.

    Advice: Porzingis didn't have his best shooting performance and needed 20 shots to score 20 points, but he still found a way to salvage his fantasy stat line due to his contributions in peripheral categories, particularly as a rebounder and defensive anchor down low. Porzingis has reached the 20-point mark in seven of his 12 appearances since the All-Star break, and while he might hold a semi-secondary role on offense behind Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, he remains extremely valuable in fantasy due to his two-way ability and stat-filling capacity.

  • Scores 31 points in loss to ATL
    Tatum had 31 points (9-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 13 rebounds and six assists across 45 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime loss to the Hawks.

    Advice: For the second time in less than 10 days, Tatum carried the Celtics against the Hawks, but his efforts were not enough. Tatum has been playing at a very high level all season long, but he seems to be on a scoring tear of late, reaching the 30-point mark in four of his last five contests. Rotowire.com Today, 8:29 pm
  • 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.

  • Demolition Man: Herb Jones goes 11/4/4/4/3 in win
    Herb Jones posted 11 points, four rebounds, four assists, four steals, three blocks and a triple across 37 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Bucks.

    Advice: “I’m a walking nightmare, an arsenal of doom.” Did Sting write those lyrics from the iconic Ghost in the Machine album with a defensive wizard like Jones in mind? It’s quite possible, as the Alabama product’s work on defense has been masterful this season, and he’s haunted many opposing players throughout the campaign. When fantasy managers describe a “full stat line,” Thursday’s performance is exactly what they’re talking about. Jones did a little bit of everything in Thursday’s victory, and he finished with at least three blocks and three steals for the second time this season. Only Anthony Davis and Victor Wembanyama have more such games in 2023-24. Over his last nine, Jones has been a defensive monster, averaging 1.7 steals and 1.8 blocks. His huge defensive numbers have bolstered his otherwise unspectacular averages this season, and Jones is a top-70 fantasy hoops player on a per-game basis. Rotoworld Today, 8:05 pm
  • Sets season high in victory
    Murphy recorded 15 points (4-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 39 minutes in Thursday's 107-100 win over Milwaukee.

    Advice: Murphy hauled in a team-high and season-high rebound total to go along with a handful of assists and a pair of steals while posting one of two double-doubles for the Pelicans in a winning effort. Murphy has hauled in 10 or more boards in two games this season, with the other such performance occurring Feb. 25 when he hauled in a previous season high of 10 rebounds. Murphy posted his first double-double of the campaign in the victory. Rotowire.com Today, 7:48 pm
  • 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 Today, 7:47 pm
