• 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 holds 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.

  • Strong from line as leading scorer
    Williamson ended with 28 points (9-15 FG, 10-16 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 33 minutes in Thursday's 107-100 win over Milwaukee.

    Advice: Williamson led all Pelicans players in scoring behind a strong shooting performance from the free-throw line, also adding a handful of rebounds to boost New Orleans in a winning effort. Williamson has connected on 10 or more free throws in five games this season, finishing with 25 or more points in all of those outings. He has now recorded at least 28 points in three straight contests. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 pm
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo goes 35/14/4 in loss to Pels
    Giannis Antetokounmpo ended Thursday’s loss to New Orleans with 35 points, 14 rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes.

    Advice: Giannis scored 12 points in the first half, but he came alive after the break with 23 to comfortably lead his team in the scoring department. In eight games leading up to this one, the Greek Freak averaged a superb 30.0 points, 13.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists, including a 29/21/11 triple-double in Tuesday’s 2OT loss to the Lakers. He was just as masterful Thursday, and despite the loss, Giannis put up his league-leading 33rd game with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds this season. The Bucks have lost two straight, and Giannis will look to guide them to victory on Saturday against the Hawks. Rotoworld Today, 7:35 pm

    Advice: Antetokounmpo led all players in Thursday's contest in scoring and rebounding while adding a quartet of assists and reaching the free-throw line a team-leading 11 times.

    Advice: Capela extended his double-double streak to five games, and he needed only one half to get there, as he posted 10/10 through two quarters. Capela has now posted a double-double in 10 of his last 11, sporting averages of 13.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.5 swats in that span. The big man’s production has remained steady throughout the campaign, and he’s ranked just inside the top 100 in per-game fantasy value. Rotoworld Today, 7:21 pm
  • Zeke Nnaji (adductor) out Friday vs. Minnesota
    Zeke Nnaji (right adductor tendinosis) has been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Nnaji remains sidelined, and his absence will not impact fantasy basketball. He should already be on the waiver wire in all leagues. Rotoworld Today, 4:47 pm
     
  • Nikola Jokic (back, hip) probable Friday vs. MIN
    Nikola Jokic (low back pain, left hip inflammation) is probable for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Jokic played 42 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to Phoenix and will likely take on a similar workload against the Timberwolves, especially if Jamal Murray (knee) remains sidelined. If the Joker cannot play, DeAndre Jordan would be the next man up for the Nuggets. Rotoworld Today, 4:45 pm
  • Ruled out for Friday
    Nnaji (thigh) is out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Nnaji has been dealing with tendinitis on his right thigh for quite some time, and Friday will mark his sixth consecutive absence. His next chance to play will come against the Cavaliers on Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 4:37 pm
     
  • Dario Saric (knee) questionable Friday vs. Hornets
    Dario Saric (right knee soreness) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Hornets.

    Advice: Saric has been out of the rotation recently, so a potential absence would not impact fantasy basketball. Trayce Jackson-Davis has claimed the backup center role, even starting Wednesday’s win over the Magic in place of the injured Jonathan Kuminga (knee). TJD will likely resume the backup center responsibilities if Kuminga is cleared to play in Charlotte. Rotoworld Today, 4:18 pm
