  • Bez Mbeng SG | UTA

    Jazz's Bez Mbeng: Sees 44 minutes in loss

    Mbeng logged 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 44 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 loss to the Wizards.

    The Jazz utilized an eight-man rotation, with several players who hardly touched the floor at the beginning of the campaign. Mbeng has been getting a ton of run lately, averaging 34.5 minutes over his last seven games with 5.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 steals on 41.7 percent shooting from the field.

  • Jericho Sims C | MIL

    Bucks' Jericho Sims: Efficient stretch continues

    Sims had 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 loss to Portland.

    Sims is establishing his footing in Milwaukee's banged-up frontcourt, though his fantasy value remains mostly tied to boards and field-goal percentage. The big man has averaged 5.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.1 minutes per tilt in his last eight games, shooting 85.0 percent from the floor during this span.

  • EJ Harkless SG | UTA

    Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Another big workload

    Harkless supplied 10 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 loss to the Wizards.

    With the Jazz evaluating lots of new rotation players, Harkless has emerged as a key contributor for the team. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 31.7 minutes per contest with 12.6 points, 4.9 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 38.4 percent shooting from the field.

  • Reed Sheppard SG | HOU

    Rockets' Reed Sheppard: Poor shooting in loss

    Sheppard recorded 10 points (3-13 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

    Sheppard has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option for the Rockets lately. Over his last seven outings, he's averaging 14.3 points, 5.1 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 3.3 three-pointers, but he's shooting just 40.4 percent from the field in that span.

  • Jrue Holiday PG | POR

    Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Cooling down a bit

    Holiday provided 13 points (4-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 win over the Bucks.

    The veteran guard has now failed to reach the 20-point marker in seven straight contests after accomplishing this feat in six of his prior seven outings. Over his past seven appearances, Holiday has averaged 10.9 points, 6.0 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.2 minutes per game.

  • Aaron Holiday PG | HOU

    Rockets' Aaron Holiday: Limited role in loss

    Holiday provided three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

    Holiday continues to be used sparingly off the bench this season. He has just 47 regular-season appearances to his name for averages of 5.4 points and 1.0 assists in 13.2 minutes per contest.

  • Kevin Durant PF | HOU

    Rockets' Kevin Durant: Drops 30 points in loss

    Durant closed Wednesday's 110-108 overtime loss to Minnesota with 30 points (9-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 43 minutes.

    For the 27th time this campaign, Durant eclipsed 30 points for the Rockets. He continues to hold off Father Time, as he holds averages of 26.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 36.4 minutes across 69 appearances this season.

  • Kyle Anderson SF | MIN

    Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Muted impact in win

    Anderson had three points (1-6 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 overtime victory over the Rockets.

    Although Anderson saw a considerable workload, he wasn't able to translate it to much fantasy appeal. He's been more involved over his last three games with 21.3 minutes per contest, but he's averaging just 4.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

  • Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Minutes slowly rising

    Thybulle had 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one block and three steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 victory over the Bucks.

    After missing a big chunk of the season due to a knee injury, Thybulle is beginning to see his playing time creep up a bit. He's logged at least 23 minutes in two of his past three games, and Thybulle has recorded a trio of steals in each contest during this stretch.

  • Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Notches 17 points in win

    DiVincenzo finished Wednesday's 110-108 overtime victory over the Rockets with 17 points (6-15 FG, 5-12 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes.

    While this was a step in the right direction, DiVincenzo has been far from reliable in fantasy hoops. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 30.4 minutes per contest with 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.6 three-pointers on 35.6 percent shooting from the field.
