Royce O'Neale (foot/ankle) is questionableRoyce O'Neale (right foot/ankle sprain) is questionable for Saturday vs. the Pelicans.
Advice: Royce was also questionable on Friday, but ended up playing 32 minutes. The Jazz may be cautious on the second leg of the back-to-back, but there aren't any exciting streamers to target if Royce sits. NBCSportsEDGE.comRoyce O'Neale UTA - SG,SF,PFGTD -
OG Anunoby (hip) questionable for SundayOG Anunoby is dealing with a left hip injury and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Advice: Anunoby's hip has been bothering him for a week now and he's missed a few games because of it. It sounds like he has a chance of playing tomorrow but if he's out again look for Precious Achiuwa to start and more goodies from Scottie Barnes. NBCSportsEDGE.comOG Anunoby TOR - SF,PFINJ -
Gary Trent Jr. (calf) iffy for SundayGary Trent Jr. is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a right calf injury.
Advice: Trent hurt his calf on Friday night so the fact he actually has a chance to play tomorrow is good news. Svi Mykhailuk would likely get the biggest boost if Trent's in street clothes on Sunday. NBCSportsEDGE.comGary Trent Jr. TOR - SG,SFGTD -
Terrence Ross (back) probable for SaturdayTerrence Ross is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
Advice: He was able to play through it on Friday night so there's a good chance he'll be back out there tonight. NBCSportsEDGE.comTerrence Ross ORL - SG,SFGTD -
Cam Reddish (wrist) iffy for SaturdayCam Reddish is questionable for Saturday's game due to a wrist injury.
Advice: This is a new injury that surfaced when Reddish showed up on the injury report today. Bogdan Bogdanovic is also iffy for tonight's game against the Knicks so Kevin Huerter, who has been hot, could see an even bigger workload tonight. NBCSportsEDGE.comCam Reddish ATL - SG,SFGTD -
Bogi Bogdanovic, Cam Reddish questionable vs. NYKBogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and Cam Reddish (wrist) are questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks.
Advice: Bogi played through it on Friday and scored just eight points as the Hawks beat the Grizzlies en route to their seventh straight win. It might be wise to find a healthier option for your DFS lineups until Bogi is back at 100 percent. NBCSportsEDGE.comBogdan Bogdanovic ATL - SG,SF,PFGTD -
Abdel Nader (knee) out again on SaturdayAbdel Nader is out again on Saturday due to his knee injury.
Advice: His right knee has bothered him for most of the season and it's unclear when he'll play again, not that it matters in fantasyland. NBCSportsEDGE.comAbdel Nader PHX - SF,PFINJ -
LeBron James goes for 30,11 & 7 in 3OT loss FridayLeBron James scored 30 points on 10-of-25 shooting with two triples, 11 assists, seven rebounds, one steal, and seven turnovers in 50 minutes as the Lakers lost to the Kings 141-137 on Friday night.
Advice: King James didn't have his best shooting night on Friday shooting 2-of-13 shooting from three. He did shoot 8-of-11 from the foul line, which was a solid evening for him. The seven turnovers were also not ideal, especially for 9-cat managers, but at least he filled it up on the offensive end. The Lakers are simply not a good basketball team right now, and there have been rumors that Frank Vogel's seat is beginning to get a little warm. NBCSportsEDGE.comLeBron James LAL - PG,SG,SF -
Joe Ingles hits 5-of-8 shots for 12 pointsJoe Ingles hit 5-of-8 shots for 12 points, five rebounds, one assist, two triples, one steal, one block and one turnover across 23 minutes in Friday's loss to the Pelicans.
Advice: Ingles had combined to go 2-of-9 from the floor in his previous two outings, so it was nice to see him bust out of his shooting funk tonight, although the Jazz still couldn't get the win. Bojan Bogdanovic was the only other efficient scorer for Utah tonight, and he finished with 23 points (9-of-14 FG), four rebounds, five triples, one assist, one steal and three turnovers in 31 minutes. NBCSportsEDGE.comJoe Ingles UTA - SG,SF,PF -
Buddy Hield scored 25 of the bench in 3OT win Fri.Buddy Hield came off the bench and scored 25 points with three triples, six assists, four rebounds, and two steals as the Kings beat the Lakers 141-137 on Friday night.
Advice: Hield shot 8-of-21 from the floor and 3-of-13 from the floor while making 6-of-7 free throws. Though the shooting numbers didn't look great, Hield hit some huge ones late including a three at the end of the first overtime to tie the game at 110, before hitting a step-back 18 footer to tie the game at 112 and force double-overtime. Hield has now scored over 20 in three consecutive games, and he will try to make it a fourth on Sunday against Memphis. NBCSportsEDGE.comBuddy Hield SAC - SG,SF -
Mikal Bridges looks steady in Friday’s victoryMikal Bridges hit 4-of-7 shots for 10 points, two rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one turnover in 38 minutes on Friday.
Advice: Bridges has been steady this month posting averages of 12.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.1 steals. As he continues to develop into one of the league's premier 3-and-D players, keep an eye on his steals per game as they are starting to head in the right direction, he has had 10 steals in his last six games and in two of those outings he had three steals each. NBCSportsEDGE.comMikal Bridges PHX - SG,SF -
Josh Hart posts low-end line over 37 minutesJosh Hart scored eight points on 2-of-6 shooting (4-of-4 FT) Friday, to go with four rebounds, five assists and two turnovers across 37 minutes.
Advice: Hart typically won't blow you away with what he brings to the box score, but he has been a sneaky source of top-75 value this season with averages of 11.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.9 treys, 0.9 steals and 1.4 turnovers per contest on 51% shooting from the field and 84.1% from the stripe. He might fall off once Zion Williamson (foot) returns, but as long as he's starting, he's worth rostering. NBCSportsEDGE.comJosh Hart NOP - SG,SF -
NAW logs just 24 minutes off the bench in winNickeil Alexander-Walker saw just 24 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Jazz, and he hit 6-of-17 shots for 15 points, two rebounds, one assist, three triples and one block.
Advice: NAW's minutes have declined with each game since he was sent to the second unit on Monday, and while he had been shooting better through his first two games as a reserve, he again found himself struggling to get buckets tonight. He's been underwhelming this season, but so have the Pelicans with a record of 5-16, and if New Orleans isn't a playoff team it's tough to imagine NAW closing out the year in a reserve role. NBCSportsEDGE.comNickeil Alexander-Walker NOP - SG,SF -
Lu Dort shines Friday vs the WizardsLu Dort hit 7-of-14 shots for 21 points, four rebounds, two assists, and one steal.
Advice: Dort has been on fire this month, averaging 20.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.9 triples on 35% shooting. His reign of terror is likely to continue as his next two games come against the Rockets, who are 27th in the NBA in opponent points in the paint per game (44.8), where Dort is 8th amongst SGs in two-point field goal percentage (55%). NBCSportsEDGE.comLuguentz Dort OKC - SG,SF -
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope shines Friday vs OKCKentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting with four rebounds, two assists, and two blocks over 27 minutes.
Advice: KCP has played well over his last four games, averaging 15.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 1.5 steals per game. We expect his great shooting to continue as his next two opponents are in the button ten in opponent three-point percentage. KCP is only rostered in 18% of leagues and is someone to think about grabbing if you need some points, triples and steals. NBCSportsEDGE.comKentavious Caldwell-Pope WAS - PG,SG,SF -
Kyle Kuzma fills the stat sheet on FridayKyle Kuzma notched an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double across 33 minutes in Friday’s win over the Thunder.
Advice: Kuzma finished 5-of-9 from the floor tonight and added five dimes, one 3-pointer and an unfortunate four turnovers while he was out there. He’s been playing very well in D.C., but things could get messy once Rui Hachimura (personal) eventually returns to the floor. NBCSportsEDGE.comKyle Kuzma WAS - SF,PF -
Norman Powell (quad) doesn't return FridayNorman Powell (right quad contusion) went to the locker room and did not return to Friday's game against Golden State.
Advice: Powell limped off the court and to the locker room during the third quarter of Friday's game and he did not return. Powell played 26 minutes and scored 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting (1-of-1 3-pointers) with two rebounds, two assists, and one turnover. Portland's next game is Monday against Utah, so we will consider him questionable until we get another update. NBCSportsEDGE.comNorman Powell POR - SG,SF -
Aaron Gordon nets 18 points with full line in lossAaron Gordon produced 18 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one 3-pointer and two steals across 37 minutes in Friday's loss to the Bucks.
Advice: AG got his points efficiently tonight, finishing 6-of-10 from the floor and 5-of-5 at the stripe, and as an added bonus for 9-cat managers, he finished tonight's game without a single turnover. He's stepped up in a big way over the past four games with Nikola Jokic (wrist) on the sidelines, and he should continue to operate as one of Denver's main weapons on offense until Jokic returns. NBCSportsEDGE.comAaron Gordon DEN - SF,PF -
Will Barton needs 20 shots to score 17 pointsWill Barton went just 7-of-20 from the floor and 1-of-2 at the stripe for 17 points in a losing effort to the Bucks on Friday.
Advice: Barton couldn't get anything to go from the perimeter tonight, as he was 0-of-6 from distance through the first half of action and finished just 2-of-13 from the perimeter. However, he did add nine rebounds, four assists, two steals and just one turnover in his 39 minutes of floor time, so it wasn't a total wash. He's been in a bit of a shooting funk over the past three games, but he should continue to log heavy minutes and get all the shots he can handle for this Denver team that is desperate for offense. NBCSportsEDGE.comWill Barton DEN - SG,SF -
Andrew Wiggins scores 25 w/ 5 boards in win FridayAndrew Wiggins put up 25 points on 10-of-16 shooting (3-of-5 3-pointers) with five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one turnover as the Warriors beat the Blazers 118-103 on Friday.
Advice: Wiggins has been outstanding as of late, and he kept it up against Portland. Entering Friday, over Wiggins' last three games, he was averaging 26.0 points per game on 53.8% shooting from the floor and 50% shooting from three with 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game. The Warriors are rolling and Wiggins is a huge reason why. NBCSportsEDGE.comAndrew Wiggins GSW - SG,SF
