  • Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 28 points again

    Brunson finished Wednesday's 134-117 victory over the Jazz with 28 points (7-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 33 minutes.

    Jordan Clarkson's performance off the bench was eye-popping, but it was Brunson who set the tone offensively for the Knicks and posted a similar line to the one he had in the loss to the Clippers on Monday. This was Brunson's third consecutive game with at least 24 points and seven assists. He's averaging 22.1 points, 10.0 assists and 3.7 rebounds per contest since the beginning of March, a span in which he's racked up two double-doubles in seven appearances.

  • Knicks' Karl-Anthony Towns: Double-double streak snapped

    Towns closed Wednesday's 134-117 victory over Utah with 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists across 30 minutes.

    Towns finished just three rebounds away from recording what would've been his third consecutive double-double with at least 20 points. He also did a good job as a playmaker and notched at least seven assists for a second consecutive contest. Towns' numbers seem to be trending in the right direction of late. He has scored at least 17 points in six games in a row, tallying five double-doubles while averaging 22.7 points, 12.8 boards and 4.2 dimes per contest over that stretch.

  • Killian Hayes PG | SAC

    Kings' Killian Hayes: Gets starting nod Wednesday

    Hayes finished Wednesday's 117-109 loss to the Hornets with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes.

    Hayes was inserted into the starting lineup after both Russell Westbrook (quad) and Devin Carter (calf) were ruled out. While Hayes was able to drop a season-high 11 points, his overall production left a little to be desired. Should he remain in the starting lineup, Hayes could be worth a look in deeper formats. However, both Westbrook and Carter could return as soon as Saturday, which would eliminate any chance Hayes has of putting up viable fantasy production.

  • Nique Clifford SG | SAC

    Kings' Nique Clifford: Across-the-board effort

    Clifford provided 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 117-109 loss to Charlotte.

    Clifford continues to make the most of a good thing, logging at least 31 minutes for the sixth time in the past seven games. Although his percentages have been somewhat of an issue, his ability to chip in across multiple categories has him positioned as a must-roster player. During that seven-game period, Clifford has averaged 13.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 three-pointers, good enough for borderline top-90 value.

  • Hornets' Xavier Tillman: Grabs six boards Wednesday

    Tillman finished Wednesday's 117-109 win over Sacramento with two points (1-3 FG), six rebounds and three assists over 14 minutes.

    Tillman served as the primary backup behind Moussa Diabate, filling the role vacated by Ryan Kalkbrenner, who was a late scratch due to illness. Even in what could only be described as a favorable matchup, Tillman failed to produce anything of note. With Kalkbrenner unlikely to miss significant time, it's safe to assume that we will see Tillman revert back to his non-existent role sooner rather than later.

  • Coby White PG | CHA

    Hornets' Coby White: Limited role continues

    White logged nine points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 117-109 win over Sacramento.

    White was back in the rotation after missing the previous game as part of his injury management. It's been a tough slog for White since arriving in Charlotte, averaging 11.9 points, 3.6 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in seven games over the past month. At best, fantasy managers should view him as a potential streamer for both points and threes.

  • Miles Bridges PF | CHA

    Hornets' Miles Bridges: Drops 26 points in win

    Bridges accumulated 26 points (11-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 117-109 victory over the Kings.

    Bridges finally found some rhythm on the offensive end, scoring at least 20 points for the first time in his past 10 games. It was a welcome return to form for Bridges, who has struggled to put up top-200 value in those 10 games over the past month. While this was an encouraging performance, Charlotte now plays only twice in the next seven days, meaning fantasy managers may have to make some tough decisions when it comes to someone like Bridges.

  • David Roddy SF | DEN

    Nuggets' David Roddy: First points as Nugget

    Roddy ended with two points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist over six minutes during Wednesday's 129-93 win over the Rockets.

    Roddy logged six minutes during garbage time, scoring his first points as a member of the Nuggets. After signing a two-way contract about a week ago, Roddy appears unlikely to make any real noise, both in fantasy and reality. In fact, with Denver nearing full health, there is a very real chance Roddy's time in Denver could end just as quickly as it began.

  • Tyus Jones PG | DEN

    Nuggets' Tyus Jones: Back in rotation Wednesday

    Jones accumulated two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and two assists over eight minutes during Wednesday's 129-93 win over the Rockets.

    Jones moved back into the rotation, albeit for a brief garbage-time appearance. While Jones provides the Nuggets with an additional ball-handling option, it's clear that he is unlikely to play meaningful minutes on most nights. For now, he can be ignored in most fantasy formats.

  • Nuggets' Tim Hardaway: Lands four triples in win

    Hardaway posted 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 129-93 win over the Rockets.

    Hardaway connected on four three-pointers, bringing his total to 12 in the past two games. As per usual, he added very little in terms of peripheral numbers, cementing his reputation as a three-point streaming option and nothing more.
