Player Notes

  • 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 and in five of his previous eight appearances overall. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 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 he's scoring enough to remain viable in fantasy with most leagues in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:37 pm
  • 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, and he is on a scoring tear of late, reaching the 30-point mark in four of his last five contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:29 pm
  • 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 7:48 pm
