  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Huge night on boards

    Queta totaled six points (3-8 FG) and 20 rebounds across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 114-110 loss to the Nuggets.

    Queta wasn't all that involved as a scorer, but he made up for it by posting a massive showing on the glass. He secured a season-high 20 boards and has now pulled down double-digit rebounds in back-to-back appearances. Queta is averaging 10.0 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks through four appearances to begin the month.

  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Regresses in narrow win

    Clingan totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 103-102 win over the Rockets.

    Although the Rockets were vulnerable under the basket without Alperen Sengun's (ankle) services, Clingan was unable to take advantage. Fortunately for the Trail Blazers, Deni Avdija was able to pick up most of the slack with a career-high performance, and the team prevailed despite less potency from their young center. Clingan snapped a three-game double-double streak, but he'll try to renew another run in a Friday rematch against the Rockets.

  • Bulls' Nikola Vucevic: Big double-double in Detroit

    Vucevic recorded 20 points (9-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 16 rebounds, four assists and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 108-93 loss to the Pistons.

    It was Vucevic's second straight game with at least 15 boards, and his 14th double-double of the season. Five of them have come in the last 11 games for the veteran center, a stretch in which he's produced 18.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.9 threes a contest.

  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Scores 20 points with one block

    Carter totaled 20 points (8-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime win over Brooklyn.

    This was a nice bounce-back performance from Carter, who was held to a season-low two points on 1-for-6 shooting his last time out. He also came through with a block after failing to swat any shots in his previous four outings.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Swats two shots off bench

    Claxton provided seven points (3-4 FG, 1-4 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime loss to Orlando.

    Claxton's upside is muted in the reserve role, but head coach Jordi Fernandez said that Claxton's minutes restrictions would be lifted his next time out, so we'd expect him to return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers. Day'Ron Sharpe finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and five turnovers across 30 minutes in the one-point loss.

  • Jock Landale C | ATL

    Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Goes scoreless in loss

    Landale notched zero points (0-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 loss to the Suns.

    Landale failed to score for the first time this season, bringing to an end what had been a productive three-game stretch. He continues to play a meaningful role, whether it be off the bench or as a starter. Even with his recent form, Landale sits outside the top 150 in four games over the past week, averaging 11.5 points and 8.0 rebounds in 23.4 minutes per contest.

  • Santi Aldama C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Non-factor in loss

    Aldama recorded seven points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 loss to Phoenix.

    Aldama had one of his worst performances of the season, logging under 25 minutes for the second straight game. While generally viewed as a must-roster player, Aldama's production over the past two weeks has left a little to be desired. During that time, he has averaged 12.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.0 combined steals and blocks, leaving him outside the top 130 in nine-category leagues.

  • Suns' Nick Richards: Muted role continues

    Richards posted four points (2-2 FG), one rebound and one steal in four minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 win over Memphis.

    Richards continues to be a non-factor, appearing in a game for the first time this calendar year. He has now suited up in just three of the past 11 games, serving as the third-string center behind Mark Williams and Oso Ighodaro. With averages of just 3.3 points and 3.4 rebounds this season, Richards can be safely ignored in basically every fantasy format.

  • Pacers' Isaiah Jackson: Won't play Thursday

    Jackson (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Charlotte.

    Jackson will remain sidelined due to a concussion. Thursday's absence is his ninth straight and will leave more minutes for Jay Huff and Micah Potter. It's unclear how close Jackson is to returning, but his next chance to do so will come Saturday against Miami.

  • Suns' Khaman Maluach: Rare appearance Wednesday

    Maluach registered zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over four minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 victory over Memphis.

    Maluach appeared for just the fourth time in the past eight games, bringing his season total to 17 games. All but one of his appearances have come during garbage time, resulting in averages of just 1.4 points and 1.0 rebounds in 4.6 minutes per game. Outside of dynasty formats, Maluach has no fantasy value.
