Player Notes

  • Won't return Monday
    Moody has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Knicks due to left knee soreness. He finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one assist and one steal in eight minutes of action.

    Advice: Moody carried a probable designation while dealing with left knee soreness leading up to his clearance for Monday's game, and the issue appears to have flared-up to the point of removing him from the contest. It's a troubling development for the 21-year-old, who also had a multi-week absence due to left calf soreness in January. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
  • Ayo Dosunmu dishes out season-high 10 assists
    Ayo Dosunmu played 39 minutes in Monday’s win over the Bulls, accounting for 23 points (9-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), one rebound, 10 assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers.

    Advice: With Coby White (hip) sidelined for a third consecutive game, Dosunmu remained in the lead guard role for the Bulls. And he finished Monday’s win with a season-high 10 assists, and the double-double was his first of the season. Just as impressive was Dosunmu committing two turnovers while shooting over 50% from the field; efficiency was not a concern. Over the past two games, he has been responsible for 19 assists and three turnovers while scoring 57 points. Dosunmu is rostered in 66% of Yahoo leagues, which is a bit low, given White’s absence from the lineup. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
  • Collin Sexton contributes 24 points off bench
    Collin Sexton provided a boost off the bench on Monday with 24 points (9-of-17 FGs), two assists and five triples against the Timberwolves.

    Advice: Sexton once again came off the bench on Monday, and he was able to extend his streak of 20-point games to four. The move out of the starting unit may have seemed like a demotion, but he played 37 minutes in this game, which was more than anyone else on the team. This was his lowest assist total since December, and he should usually be able to provide some dimes along with his points and 3-pointers. Sexton should continue to be a strong fantasy option for the remainder of the season, especially with them still playing three more games this week. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
  • Nickeil Alexander-Walker posts 13/4/5/3/2 line
    Nickeil Alexander-Walker started the second half on Monday and contributed 13 points (4-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, three steals, two blocks and three triples against Utah.

    Advice: NAW started the second half of Monday’s game after Naz Reid exited early with a head injury. It was a smaller unit out there to open the third quarter, but NAW made up for it with an excellent stat line. Minnesota plays against on Tuesday, and if both Rudy Gobert and Reid remain on the sidelines, Alexander-Walker will play big minutes once again. He has had some really good games this season and is capable of providing well-rounded value when given the chance. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago
  • Caleb Martin records 13/4/2/4/1 stat line vs. PHI
    Caleb Martin tallied 13 points (6-of-14 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, four steals, one block, and one 3-pointer in 35 minutes in Monday’s loss to the 76ers.

    Advice: Stat lines like this are why Martin retains some fantasy value, especially with Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro sidelined. Rostered in 29% of Yahoo leagues, he has provided 12th-round per-game value in 8- and 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. That isn’t much to write home about, but it’s enough to keep Martin on the radar in the short term. With Miami playing three more games in Week 21, he’s worth streaming as long as Butler is sidelined, as Herro will miss another 1-2 weeks. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
  • Terry Rozier records 20/8/1/1/1 line vs. 76ers
    Terry Rozier played 34 minutes in Monday’s loss to Philadelphia, accumulating 20 points (8-of-21 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block, and three 3-pointers.

    Advice: Rozier recorded his first 20-point game since March 7 on Monday, but the field-goal percentage remains an issue. Over the past week, he’s shooting 39.1% from the field, a significant reason he’s ranked just inside the top 150 during that stretch. However, Rozier is ranked just outside the top 100 in the past two weeks. Even if the field goal percentage isn’t where fantasy managers want it to be, he does enough in other categories to avoid letting his value sink too far. With Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro dealing with injuries, Scary Terry has been asked to do more than what may have been expected when the Heat acquired him from the Hornets. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
  • Anthony Edwards puts up 32/7/8/1/2 with two threes
    Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 32 points (13-of-23 FGs), seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks and two 3-pointers in a 114-104 win over Utah on Monday.

    Advice: Not only did Ant Man dominate in the box score for fantasy managers, but he also baptized a man that is nicknamed John the Baptist. Edwards’ dunk will certainly be in contention for the best of the year, though managers don’t get any sort of boost for that. This was his third straight 30-point game, and he is averaging 33.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.7 blocks and 3.0 triples per game during that stretch. That level of production will be a massive boost during the fantasy playoffs, and he’ll look to stay hot on the second night of a back-to-back against Denver on Tuesday. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
  • Anfernee Simons scores game-high 30 points vs. CHI
    Anfernee Simons shot 10-of-24 from the field and 6-of-7 from the foul line in Monday’s 110-107 loss to the Bulls, scoring 30 points with three rebounds, nine assists, and four 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

    Advice: Simons has scored 25 points or more in three straight and six of his last nine games, providing consistent value for a team that injuries have besieged. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top 40 player in 9-cat formats and top 25 in 8-cat. The one concern would be a potential shutdown, as the Blazers are playing out the string. Portland plays three more games in Week 21, including a Friday/Saturday back-to-back to end the week. Rotoworld Today, 8:11 pm
  • Kevin Huerter (shoulder) will not return vs. MEM
    Kevin Huerter (left shoulder) will not return to Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

    Advice: Huerter injured his shoulder on a fast break just two minutes into game, which ended his night early. Both Chris Duarte and Keon Ellis played extra minutes in the first half and should be relied on down the stretch. Ellis started in their last game that Huerter missed, and he could return to that spot if Huerter remains out moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 8:08 pm
