  • Austin Reaves SG | LAL

    Lakers' Austin Reaves: Scores 32 points in OT win

    Reaves closed with 32 points (12-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 46 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 overtime win over the Nuggets.

    Luka Doncic stole the show with a 30-point triple-double, but Reaves led the Lakers in scoring with an impressive performance. The star guard has reached the 30-point mark in three games in a row, and he's firmly established as the Lakers' No. 2 option on offense ahead of LeBron James. He's averaging 21.1 points per game since the All-Star break.

  • Nikola Jokic C | DEN

    Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Records another triple-double

    Jokic racked up 24 points (10-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds, 14 assists, one block and five steals in 43 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 overtime loss to the Lakers.

    Jokic extended his triple-double streak to four games after another loaded line, but his impressive efforts weren't enough to lift the Nuggets to victory in a tough road matchup. Jokic has six triple-doubles and five double-doubles across 13 games since the All-Star break, and he remains the league's most dominant all-around contributor in fantasy. He's up to 27 triple-doubles on the year, leading the league in that category by a wide margin.

  • Aaron Gordon PF | DEN

    Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Scores team-high 27 points

    Gordon amassed 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 35 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 overtime loss to the Lakers.

    Gordon couldn't have asked for a better return to the lineup after sitting out the win over the Spurs on Thursday due to injury management. The veteran forward led the team in scoring and stepped up offensively in a game where Jamal Murray struggled badly on offense (1-14 FG). Gordon has scored at least 23 points in two of his four appearances since coming back from a 17-game absence due to a hamstring problem. The Nuggets are expected to monitor Gordon's workload closely, so it wouldn't be surprising if he pops up on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

  • Jamal Murray PG | DEN

    Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Struggles badly in loss to Lakers

    Murray racked up five points (1-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals over 36 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 127-125 overtime loss to the Lakers.

    Murray delivered one of his worst performances of the season from an efficiency standpoint, missing all but one of his 14 shots and failing to provide the Nuggets with much-needed offense. The peripheral stats were decent for the star floor general, but there's no way to be efficient in fantasy with this kind of shooting performance. There's a chance this was just an off night for the star guard, who was averaging 28.6 points per game since the beginning of March before this contest.

  • Kel'el Ware C | MIA

    Heat's Kel'el Ware: Posts double-double

    Ware ended with 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 loss to the Magic.

    Ware was efficient from the floor and showed impressive energy on the glass en route to posting his first double-double since March 5. He has four double-doubles over his last seven games and has grabbed double-digit boards five times during that stretch. The second-year big man is an excellent option in both point-based and category-based formats due to his ability to fill the stat sheet with ease.

  • Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Impresses off bench in loss

    Jaquez produced 22 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 30 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 loss to the Magic.

    Jaquez led the Heat in scoring despite coming off the bench, but seeing him deliver loaded lines in the second unit has been a common occurrence all season long. The former UCLA standout also managed to bounce back after totaling 11 points while shooting 4-for-16 from the field in his previous two games.

  • Tyler Herro PG | MIA

    Heat's Tyler Herro: Struggles with shot Saturday

    Herro provided 10 points (4-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and one block over 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 loss to Orlando.

    Herro somewhat salvaged his fantasy line by delivering decent numbers in categories like rebounds and assists, but the poor shooting display certainly affected his game. This was the star guard's return from a two-game absence due to a quadriceps injury, so perhaps there's still some rust in Herro's game. The 26-year-old has battled injuries all season long and has been limited to just 21 regular-season games so far in 2025-26.

  • Magic's Wendell Carter: Sniffs double-double

    Carter produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 victory over the Heat.

    Carter ended just two rebounds shy of posting what would've been his third consecutive double-double. The big man continues to find ways to produce on the offensive end for the Magic, and it would be fair to say he's been performing as the team's third-best option behind the duo of Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane with Franz Wagner (ankle) and Anthony Black (abdomen) out. Carter has scored in double figures in eight of his last 10 games, reaching the 15-point mark six times in that span.

  • Desmond Bane SG | ORL

    Magic's Desmond Bane: Goes for 21 points in win

    Bane produced 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block over 35 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 121-117 victory over Miami.

    Bane fouled out in this win, but that didn't stop him from posting a decent fantasy line while ending as the Magic's second-best scorer behind Paolo Banchero. This was Bane's third straight game with 20-plus points, and his role as the Magic's No. 2 option on offense, as well as his three-point shooting ability, make him a valuable fantasy commodity across all formats.

  • Paolo Banchero PF | ORL

    Magic's Paolo Banchero: Scores team-high 27 points

    Banchero ended with 27 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-10 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Saturday's 121-117 win over the Heat.

    Banchero not only led the Magic in scoring, he also ended three assists and two rebounds away from posting a triple-double. The star forward remains the go-to option on offense for the Magic and has reached the 25-point mark in four of his last five outings. He's also achieved that mark in eight of his 13 appearances since the All-Star break.
