  • 90-78-3 5th Place
    • Continues to struggle from deep
      Hield notched seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six assists and one rebound in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 105-104 Play-In Game win over the Heat.

      Advice: Since Philadelphia acquired Hield on Feb. 8, the sharpshooter has averaged 12.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 0.8 steals in 25.5 minutes on 38.4 percent from deep. Hield has struggled to live up to his usual standards in April, as he's averaged 9.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 19.8 minutes, shooting just 35.2 percent from the field and 34.8 percent from three.

    • Clutch performance in win
      Davis contributed 20 points (6-16 FG, 8-10 FT), 15 rebounds, three blocks and one steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 Play-In Game victory over the Pelicans.

      Advice: Davis was able to battle through back spasms in Tuesday's win and thinks the extra rest before Saturday's Game 1 against the Nuggets will allow him to fully recover, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports. While the star big man struggled from the field, he hauled in a clutch offensive rebound off a LeBron James miss with 15 seconds and was able to convert on four free throws down the stretch to ice the game.

    • Anthony Davis tallies 20 points, 15 rebounds Tues.
      Anthony Davis played 40 minutes in Tuesday’s 110-106 win over the Pelicans, accumulating 20 points (6-of-16 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), 15 rebounds, one steal, and three blocked shots.

      Advice: After back spasms forced an early exit from Sunday’s win over New Orleans, Davis playing 40 minutes in Tuesday’s play-in game is a positive sign. He didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, but the Unibrow was elite as a rebounder and shot-blocker. Davis will have his hands full in the first round of the playoffs, as the Lakers will face No. 2-seed Denver in a series that begins on Saturday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:23 pm
       
    • Good to go for primetime
      Davis (back) has been cleared for Wednesday's Play-In Tournament game against New Orleans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

      Advice: Davis' aggravating his back/hip spasms in Sunday's win over New Orleans is troubling given that he has battled the affliction all season, but he appears to be no worse for the wear. A rematch against New Orleans pits Davis versus Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas, while Davis has averaged 21.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 blocks across four contests versus the Pelicans this season.

    • Anthony Davis (back) questionable Tuesday vs. NOP
      Anthony Davis (back spasms) is questionable for the Lakers’ Tuesday play-in game matchup with the Pelicans.

      Advice: Davis logged 30 points and 11 rebounds in 33 minutes in a dominant win over the Pelicans on Sunday. However, the oft-injured big man is a question mark for his team’s huge play-in game on Tuesday. Los Angeles will have to lean on Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes more than usual if the star center sits. Rotoworld Monday, 2:39 pm
       
    • Officially questionable
      Davis (back) is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In game against the Pelicans.

      Advice: Davis landed awkwardly after a collision with Larry Nance during a rebounding attempt in Sunday's regular-season finale versus New Orleans and experienced hip and back spasms, knocking him out for the final five minutes of a blowout win. After the game, Davis and coach Darvin Ham downplayed the injury, but the Lakers' medical staff will have the final say on the big man's availability for Tuesday's rematch. Before leaving, Davis dominated the Pelicans, posting 30 points (13-17 FG), 11 rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Expected to be ready for camp
      Coach Steve Clifford said Monday that he anticipates Richards (foot) will be ready for training camp, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

      Advice: Richards missed the season finale due to right plantar fascia discomfort, but the center is considered day-to-day. The Hornets are expected to have a healthy Mark Williams back in the lineup to open the 2024-25 season, but Richards will be penciled in as the primary backup. Richards made 67 appearances this season with averages of 9.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 26.3 minutes. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:40 am
       
    • Jalen Green scores 13 in season finale Sunday
      Jalen Green shot 5-of-14 from the field in Sunday’s win over the Clippers, scoring 13 points with six rebounds, three assists, and three 3-pointers in 23 minutes.

      Advice: After scoring 26 points on 50% shooting in Friday’s win over Portland, Green was limited to 23 minutes on Sunday. The priority was to get less experienced players more run in the second half, and the third-year guard was excellent after the All-Star break. In 28 post-break games, he averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 3.3 3-pointers, shooting 44.1% from the field and 80.9% from the foul line. Green was more productive and more efficient, with his offensive rating (117.1) being nearly six points higher than his pre-break number (111.9). Green benefitted from the changes made by the Rockets, most notably the hiring of Ime Udoka as head coach and the addition of point guard Fred VanVleet. That makes him an intriguing fantasy option for 2024-25. Rotoworld Sunday, 5:05 pm
       
    • Jabari Smith Jr. scores 15 points vs. Clippers
      Jabari Smith Jr. played 33 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Clippers, scoring 15 points (6-of-19 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs) with eight rebounds, three assists, and two 3-pointers.

      Advice: While Smith was one of six Rockets to score in double figures, this wasn’t the best finish to the season for the second-year forward. He was 2-of-10 from three, which weighed down the overall field-goal percentage, and the 15 points equaled his total from the Rockets’ games against Utah (Thursday) and Portland (Friday). Beginning the season with a Yahoo ADP of 92.1, Smith exceeded that number in 9-cat formats while ranking just outside the top 100 in 8-cat. Alperen Sengun’s absence from mid-March onward did not significantly boost Smith’s fantasy value, which was the expectation of many. Expecting another top-100 season from Smith in 2024-25 would be fair. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:54 pm
