  • Spurs' Bismack Biyombo: Rare appearance Saturday

    Biyombo had four points (2-2 FG) and one rebound in four minutes during Saturday's 134-119 victory over Indiana.

    Biyombo touched the floor for just the second time in the past seven games, albeit for four minutes during garbage time. At this point in his career, Biyombo would need to garner extensive playing time to have any chance of putting up fantasy value. Even those in deeper formats can safely ignore him.

  • Jaxson Hayes C | LAL

    Lakers' Jaxson Hayes: Swats three shots off bench

    Hayes finished Saturday's 105-104 victory over the Magic with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds and three blocks across 19 minutes.

    Despite fairly lackluster play from Deandre Ayton overall recently, Hayes doesn't appear to be making a serious case for more playing time. Hayes has averaged 4.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 block in 16.7 minutes per contest in his last six games, shooting a weak 40.0 percent from the field during this span.

  • Yves Missi C | NO

    Pelicans' Yves Missi: Comes down with team-high 10 boards

    Missi finished with six points (3-7 FG), 10 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Saturday's 111-106 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Despite coming off the bench, Missi paced the Pelicans in boards Saturday. The second-year center has hauled in double-digit rebounds in four of his last six games, during which Missi has averaged 6.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.5 blocks in 23.8 minutes per tilt while shooting 53.6 percent from the floor.

  • Cavaliers' Thomas Bryant: Sniffs double-double off bench

    Bryant provided 11 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes during Saturday's 111-106 win over New Orleans.

    While Bryant did manage to score in double digits for the fourth time in his past six games, he hasn't quite been able to muster much fantasy relevance despite the absence of Jarrett Allen (knee). Over his last eight contests, Bryant has averaged 8.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.6 blocks and 1.1 three-pointers in 15.0 minutes per game while shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Returns to game

    Gafford has checked back into Saturday's game against the Clippers after sustaining a shoulder injury in the first half, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Gafford went back to the locker room in the first half after tweaking his shoulder, but the 27-year-old has officially returned to the contest. His return could mean fewer opportunities for Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Heads to locker room

    Gafford went back to the locker room during Saturday's game against the Clippers for undisclosed reasons, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    It's unclear what caused Gafford to exit the game, but it's not certain that he'll be able to return. While he's sidelined, Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell could see an uptick in playing time.

  • Nets' Nic Claxton: Ruled out versus Kings

    Claxton (rest) won't play in Sunday's game in Sacramento, according to Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com.

    Claxton won't suit up for the first of back-to-back contests to rest. He'll likely be back Monday in Portland. With Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) done for the remainder of the campaign, the Nets will need to go small Sunday, and Danny Wolf should absorb most of the minutes underneath the basket.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Nearly triple-doubles

    Hartenstein put up nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 FT), 20 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 25 minutes of Saturday's 132-111 win over the Wizards.

    Hartenstein continues to log a modest workload for the Thunder with the big man nursing a couple nagging injuries, but that didn't prevent him from putting up a huge stat line Saturday. He remains on pace for a 10th-round finish in nine-category fantasy formats on a per-game basis.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Moves into starting lineup

    Gafford will start Saturday's game against the Clippers.

    After putting up 24 points (9-10 FG, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 loss to the Hawks, Gafford is being thrown back into the first unit.

  • Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Will play Saturday

    Wembanyama (ankle) will play Saturday against the Pacers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

    Wembanyama will play through a questionable tag related to right ankle soreness. In his last outing Thursday against the Suns, Wembanyama had 34 points, 12 rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block.
