Aaron Gordon chucks up six donut in winAaron Gordon missed all six of his shot attempts on Wednesday, finishing with just five rebounds, one assist and two turnovers across 22 minutes in a win over the Knicks.
Advice: AG has not stepped up like we expected him to in wake of all the injuries in Denver, and tonight's scoreless performance was coming off the heels of three-straight, single-digit stinkers. The Nuggets only have six games remaining on their schedule, and we doubt Gordon will suddenly turn things around over this final stretch. Don't hesitate to send him to the wire if you're currently scrapping through the Fantasy Finals. NBCSportsEDGE.comAaron Gordon Den - SF,PF -
Millsap plays good defense but has bad stat linePaul Millsap returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday with P.J. Dozier (adductor) joining a plethora of Denver players on the inactive list and finished with six points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 24 minutes.
Advice: Millsap shot just 3-of-13 from the floor tonight, but his defense was superb, as he helped hold Julius Randle to just 5-of-15 shooting and finished with a plus/minus rating of plus-17. At this stage in his career, Millsap is a lot more valuable to the Nuggets than any fantasy team. Michael Porter Jr. finished with a team-best plus/minus of plus-24 on his way to 17 points, six rebounds, three triples, three assists and one turnover in 25 minutes.

Nikola Jokic posts dominant double-double in winNikola Jokic dominated the Knicks on Wednesday, tallying 32 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, two steals, two swats and four turnovers across 29 minutes in a 113-97 win.
Advice: Jokic set a new career-high for points in a quarter when he netted 24 on 8-of-9 shooting from the field and 8-of-10 at the stripe over his first 12 minutes, and in typical Jokic fashion, he deflected from his amazing performance during his postgame interview and instead heaped praise on head coach Mike Malone. "The guy gave me everything. The guy gave me the freedom," said the MVP candidate of his coach. "He led me. He showed me the way. And we built a great relationship... it’s more than basketball. It’s six years of building something together." NBCSportsEDGE.comNikola Jokic Den - PF,C -
Noel (ankle) brings the defensive stats in returnNerlens Noel (ankle) ripped away two steals and sent six shots packing in his return to action on Wednesday.
Advice: Noel was moving around fine after missing Monday's game, which was the second of a back-to-back, so he should be good to go for Friday's game in Pheonix. He added five points (2-of-3 FG, 1-of-2 FT), five rebounds and two turnovers in his 30 minutes of floor time, but the defensive stats are why you have him on your roster. Taj Gibson returned to the second unit and finished with two points, one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block over 12 minutes; while Norvel Pelle saw just five minutes off the bench and contributed two points and one rebound in the loss.

Kevin Love posts +/- of -45 for CavaliersKevin Love hit 7-of-14 shots and four 3-pointers for 18 points, eight rebounds, two assists and a steal in 26 minutes of Wednesday's blowout loss to the Blazers.
Advice: We weren't even going to blurb him tonight and while it's not really fantasy related, it's not every night we have the privilege of blurbing a player with a +/- of -45, which is what Love accomplished tonight. If you don't know, that means his team was outscored by 45 points while he was on the floor tonight. And that was the lowest +/- by a Cavs player since Antawn Jamison in 2012. And if you would have told us that both 32-year-old Kevin Love and 38-year-old Anderson Varejao would play in a meaningless game for the Cavs on May 6 back in December, we would have probably lost a lot of money.
