• Jaren Jackson Jr. tallies 25 points, four blocks
    Jaren Jackson Jr. played 39 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Kings, accumulating 25 points (8-of-27 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, four blocks, and one 3-pointer.

    Advice: The good news for Jackson was that he recorded a full stat line and blocked four shots. The bad was that he didn’t shoot well, and the rebounding production (two) was subpar. While rebounding has not been a significant issue, JJJ has grabbed two in two of his last three games. That had to disappoint fantasy managers who have him rostered, even with the production in other categories. Ranked just outside the top 100 in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks, Jackson has struggled with availability recently. Hopefully, he can avoid the late-season shutdown that can happen to star players on struggling teams. Rotoworld 5 minutes ago
  • Desmond Bane posts 24/5/4/3 stat line vs. Kings
    Desmond Bane finished Monday’s 121-111 loss to the Kings with 24 points (7-of-19 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

    Advice: After playing 32 minutes in his first game back from a sprained ankle on Saturday, Bane logged 37 in Monday’s overtime loss. He’s had better nights shooting the basketball, but the rebound, assist, and steals production was encouraging. Given his talent level and the key contributors who aren’t available, Bane is well-positioned to provide high value in fantasy basketball. However, the possibility of him being shut down lingers. Hopefully, Bane can remain healthy and avoid that fate. The Grizzlies play two more road games in Week 21, beginning with the Warriors on Wednesday. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
  • Klay Thompson scores 18 with a full stat line
    Klay Thompson accounted for 18 points (6-of-15 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block, and five 3-pointers in 31 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Knicks.

    Advice: Thompson has scored 18 or more in five of his last six games, with four of at least 21 points. The assist tally stands out from his performance against the Knicks, as he established a new season-high with eight assists. Between Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, and Draymond Green, there won’t be too many playmaking opportunities available to Thompson and the others. So a night like Monday should be viewed as a departure from the norm, as his last game with at least five assists was a February 22 win over the Lakers. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
  • Dishes six dimes in defeat
    Forrest notched two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds and six assists over 22 minutes during Monday's 136-105 loss to the Lakers.

    Advice: Forrest got a little more run than usual due to the lopsided nature of the score, as his 22 minutes were his most of the campaign. The fourth-year guard wasn't aggressive as a shooter but did manage to finish second on the team with six assists. Forrest's opportunities have increased a bit since Trae Young went down with a finger injury in late February, but the former's production hasn't come closer to warranting fantasy attention.

  • Trayce Jackson-Davis posts 19/9/2/0/3 stat line
    Trayce Jackson-Davis played 26 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Knicks, scoring 19 points (9-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs) with nine rebounds, two assists, and three blocked shots.

    Advice: Jackson-Davis has locked down the backup center role, and the minutes have been good enough to make him a player worth rostering in more leagues. Over the past two weeks, TJD has provided 6th-round value in 9-cat formats while surpassing 20 minutes in five consecutive games. The Warriors find themselves fighting to avoid the Play-In Tournament, but the franchise has to be pleased with the play of its two draft picks. Jackson-Davis and Brandin Podziemski have established themselves as rotation players, giving the team a much-needed infusion of depth. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
  • Posts quiet double-double Monday
    Murray accumulated 13 points (6-18 FG, 1-9 3Pt), five rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 136-105 loss to the Lakers.

    Advice: Murray managed his second straight double-double in defeat, but he struggled to put the ball in the hoop, especially from deep. The point guard's 13 points were his fewest since Feb. 14, and his performance Monday snapped a five-game streak of draining at least four triples. Murray was due for an off day after posting sizzling averages of 25.9 points, 8.3 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 3.2 three-pointers over 12 games following the All-Star break prior to Monday.

  • Logs 19 minutes in return
    Okongwu had 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 19 minutes during Monday's 136-105 loss to the Lakers.

    Advice: Okongwu had missed 13 straight contests due to a toe injury before suiting up against the Lakers on Monday. The fourth-year center was unsurprisingly limited to under 20 minutes in his return, but he still put up decent production and went 5-for-5 from two-point range. Okongwu's output is somewhat hampered by his role as Clint Capela's backup, though he still deserves a roster spot in most fantasy leagues. His appeal would grow dramatically if he were to move into the starting unit at any point, as evidenced by his averages of 16.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks while making five straight starts prior to the injury absence.

  • Stephen Curry leads Warriors with 27 points vs NYK
    Stephen Curry shot 8-of-20 from the field and 7-of-7 from the foul line in Monday’s 119-112 loss to the Knicks, scoring 27 points with five rebounds, five assists, and four 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

    Advice: Curry got off to a slow start, missing all three shot attempts in the first quarter. While he managed to get going during the second and third quarters, he was just 1-of-5 from the field in the fourth quarter. Curry has scored at least 27 points in three of the four games he’s played since tallying just four in a March 3 loss to the Celtics. Shooting 43.8% from the field, he is ranked just outside the top 50 in 8- and 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. Curry and the Warriors, now below .500 at home, play three more games in Week 21, beginning with the Grizzlies on Wednesday. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
  • Plays his part
    Kornet registered four points (2-4 FG), 10 rebounds, three blocks and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 119-94 win over the Pistons.

    Advice: In addition to strong rim protection and defensive playmaking, Kornet racked up six offensive rebounds, all of which came in the first half. Among all players with at least 200 rebounds this season, Kornet's 14.1 percent offensive rebounding rate is the seventh best mark in the league. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
