Julius Randle
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
28 | 17 | 9 | 1 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 11/19 | 6/8 |
Thus far, Julius Randle has been nothing short of phenomenal for the Thibodeau-led New York Knicks. The offense is running through him and by the looks of things, will continue to run through him, so the human Beyblade will not lack for touches. Just don’t expect the efficiency to continue, as Randle has been knocking everything down.
Immanuel Quickley
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
16 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 4/7 | 6/6 |
There will be no puns here. Immanuel Quickley is rapidly proving himself to be an NBA-caliber guard, equipped with all the foul-drawing tendencies that tend to make for a lengthy career in the Association. Dennis Smith Jr. and Frank Ntilikina were out, but it’s safe to say Quickley has surpassed them in the rotation, as he played nearly the entirety of the fourth quarter to close out the Hawks tonight.
Elfrid Payton
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
14 | 3 | 5 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 6/18 | 2/2 |
Elf will still get his, despite getting off to a slow start. The blocks are a nice surprise, but owners shouldn’t be expecting many of those in the future. Elf is good for assists and steals, though he will hurt your percentages while getting them.
Mitchell Robinson
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
8 | 7 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 4/7 | 0 |
If Big Meech is getting 25+ MPG, he’s probably a top-30 kind of guy. Nerlens Noel was out tonight, and Obi Toppin is still working his way back from injury, but Thibs has had nothing but praise for the talented ball-swatter. So far this year, Robinson has been much better about not getting into early foul trouble—if that’s a thing of the past, nothing can stop him from returning elite value.
R.J. Barrett
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
26 | 11 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 10/19 | 5/7 |
Barrett is an enigma…the second-year guard took care of the ball tonight, not succumbing to a single turnover in 44 minutes played. His shot is still as inconsistent as they come, though, as he came into the night on an 0-for-21 stretch from deep.
Austin Rivers
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
8 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3/6 | 0 |
Thibs went with an eight-man rotation tonight. Rivers will get ample PT and is worth a look in deeper settings.
John Collins
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
18 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 8/15 | 2/4 |
Collins chipped in everywhere as he looks to get things going. It’s encouraging to see two back-to-back 30+ minute outings, though it’s worth noting that Gallinari was hurt his last time out.
De’Andre Hunter
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
23 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 9/15 | 3/6 |
Lloyd Pierce isn’t shy about playing his guys—and with Hunter shooting like he has been, owners have to be thrilled. Lots of minutes plus lots of looks plus lots of efficiency = fantasy value? Who would’ve thought. Hunter contributes points, tres, boards, and doesn’t turn the ball over. Whether the percentages are here to stay remains to be seen.
Trae Young
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
31 | 2 | 14 | 1 | 0 | 8 | 1 | 9/22 | 12/15 |
He’s just fantasy excellence, man. The turnovers, not so much. Ice Trae was chirping at the refs all night long but he still found time to do his thing.
Bogdan Bogdanovic
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
3 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1/3 | 0 |
Bogdanovic apparently sustained an injury sometime prior to the fourth, and was battling foul trouble too. He’ll be better than this most nights.
Andre Drummond
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
10 | 14 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 5/15 | 0/2 |
Even when he’s bad, Drummond gives you a little bit of everything.
Larry Nance Jr.
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2/6 | 0 |
Nance didn’t do much in 34 minutes of play. Jeez, the Cavs bigs were awful today. And where did all the shots go?
Collin Sexton
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
24 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 2 | 10/19 | 2/2 |
Ah, there they were. In fairness, Sexton shot a more-than-respectable 10-19, but coughed the ball up 5 times doing so.
Damyean Dotson
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
16 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 6/10 | 1/2 |
Regular starting two-guard Darius Garland was out with a shoulder injury. SexSon just doesn’t have the same ring to it…DotSex? SexDotCom?
Dante Exum
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Exum earned a spot start in an injury-riddled Cavs lineup, then promptly went on to get injured himself.
Cedi Osman
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
18 | 7 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 6/14 | 2/2 |
Osman finally broke out of his slump with a pretty line tonight, playing a season-high 38 minutes.
Aaron Gordon
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
24 | 11 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 9/17 | 0 |
Yeah, this guy’s never going to put all the pieces together. His last four lines: 4/6/0/0/0, 12/5/2/1/1, 6/3/1/0/2, 15/8/5/0/0. One step forward, two steps back. This was Gordon’s best line of the young season, and yet I wouldn’t be surprised to see something totally pedestrian his next time out.
Nikola Vucevic
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
23 | 8 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 9/16 | 3/3 |
Vooch is very, very good. 9-16 from the field, 5 stocks, and 2 tres to round it out.
Michael Carter-Williams
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
0 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 0/4 | 0 |
Yuck. Sign here if you want to give Cole Anthony all the backup guard minutes.
Cole Anthony
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
9 | 5 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2/9 | 4/5 |
The shooting was poor, but the counting stats are respectable. Give Anthony a look if you’re desperate for dimes.
Khem Birch
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
12 | 12 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 5/7 | 2/2 |
Satisfying line from Birch, but he’s not going to do this most nights in just 17 MPG.
Gordon Hayward
He’s as solid as they come. An early mid-rounder, through and through.
P.J. Washington
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
12 | 8 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 4/10 | 2/2 |
Looks good, but where are the stocks?
Bismack Biyombo
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
4 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 2/7 | 0 |
I never thought I’d say it, but…Cody Zeller’s services are desperately needed. Is Frank Kaminsky on a roster?
Terry Rozier
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
12 | 3 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3/8 | 4/4 |
Finally cooled off a bit. When Scary Terry sees LaMelo nipping at his heels, he turns into Meek Terry. He’s going to do everything in his power to remain in the starting lineup.
Devonte’ Graham
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
15 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 5/13 | 0 |
Talk about your job being in danger. Graham’s shooting woes have intensified this year, as he’s connecting on a measly 25% of his shot attempts so far.
LaMelo Ball
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
12 | 7 | 9 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 5/16 | 2/3 |
The Charlotte guards combined for 13-for-37 from the field tonight. Other than that, things are looking up for the youngest Ball brother.
Joel Embiid
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
14 | 11 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 4/10 | 6/8 |
Yessir. Joel is off to a top-ten start.
Tobias Harris
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
22 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 10/16 | 0 |
Tobi isn’t far behind, returning top-15 value in 9-cat. What a dilemma—in real life, he’s frequently overrated. But in fantasy, put some respect on Tobi’s name!
Darius Bazley
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
16 | 8 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 5/10 | 2/3 |
Oklahoma City got thumped by the Heat on their gradient Vice-themed court. What was more eye-popping than the cyans and the magentas? Efficiency, boards and stocks from Bazley.
Al Horford
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
2 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1/6 | 0 |
Horford’s first real stinker of the year. When he plays, he should still be decent as OKC isn’t exactly stacked at the five.
Kelly Olynyk
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
19 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 7/9 | 0 |
Damn Kelly, that’s how you feel? Rosterable in 14-teamers as long as he’s getting ~30 MPG. The 1.3 blocks per game are probably a fluke, though.
Jimmy Butler
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
18 | 3 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6/12 | 6/6 |
Bounced back from a horrendous first outing after hurting his ankle. Too bad it was a blowout—Butler hasn’t replicated his first-game brilliance yet, but it will come.
Tyler Herro
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
7 | 9 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 3/9 | 0 |
Flirted with a triple-double. The lack of defensive stats is annoying, but that’s what you get when you play Herro Ball.
Goran Dragic
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
7 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 3/7 | 0 |
Singling out this line because it goes to show, even if he’s got nothing else going, Dragic will get you your points and assists.
Jayson Tatum
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
40 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 5 | 11/19 | 13/13 |
He and Brown are so, so good. Celtics fans are lucky to have them. Tatum showing why he was drafted in the first round in so many leagues.
Semi Ojeleye
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
12 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 4/9 | 1/2 |
Coach Stevens went with a smaller lineup, and Ojeleye was the main beneficiary. I wouldn’t read too much into it, but Stevens has been very noncommittal about Theis and TT, so it’s possible this is more of a long-term move. It doesn’t bode well for the vets that someone else showed up to play…
Robert Williams III
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
11 | 15 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 4/5 | 3/3 |
The Timelord has arrived. 20 minutes. Double-double. 3 blocks. Unleash. Him. Brad.
Payton Pritchard
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
23 | 2 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 8/13 | 5/5 |
Pritchard is going to have some nice value until Kemba returns. With Teague and Smart potentially missing time as well, Pritchard will be given all the minutes he can handle.
Pascal Siakam
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
22 | 6 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 7/15 | 6/7 |
Had to remind them who he was. Not indicative of his potential, but considering what we’ve seen from Spicy P so far this year, it’s encouraging.
Kyle Lowry
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
18 | 5 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 5/13 | 7/8 |
A solid night for the 34-year-old.
Fred VanVleet
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
35 | 8 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 6 | 13/20 | 3/4 |
Sheesh. Did he have another kid? VanVleet tried to put the 1-5 Raptors on his back but forgot that a baby bjorn is meant to be worn on the front. Get back in the lab, Dad.
Chris Boucher
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
9 | 6 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2/6 | 4/6 |
Not to be outdone by the Timelord, Boucher couldn’t quite match the per-minute production, but he put up a valiant effort.
Luka Doncic
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
33 | 16 | 11 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 3 | 12/25 | 6/6 |
Over 50% from the field and perfect from the line? That has to be the shocking part of this line, as triple-doubles have become commonplace for the young MVP-candidate. Unfortunately, no defensive stats and 8 TOs. Still a beauty.
Willie Cauley-Stein
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
15 | 7 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 5/7 | 5/6 |
Got the start and made the most of it. Could have some value until KP gets right.
Tim Hardaway Jr.
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
30 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 8 | 11/14 | 0 |
When he’s hot, he’s hot. Points and tres from THJ. Ask no more and he won’t let you down.
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
23 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 8/15 | 7/8 |
Yup.
John Wall
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
14 | 4 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 4/10 | 5/5 |
This is closer to what we can realistically expect from the former All-Star. He’s still the quickest guy on the floor, most nights.
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
21 | 3 | 10 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 5/17 | 8/10 |
Pedestrian line from the No. 1 overall fantasy player.
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
20 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 5/12 | 6/6 |
Solid production from Gordon, who’s chugging along.
Jerami Grant
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
24 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 10/25 | 0 |
Sheesh. People clowned him for leaving Denver for a bigger role, but it’s looking like the decision could result in a huge payday down the line. Could very well sustain early-round production the rest of the way.
Mason Plumlee
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
4 | 8 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2/7 | 0 |
Plumlee’s been invaluable this year at the low cost of a late-round pick. The steals and FT% will dip, though.
Killian Hayes
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
7 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 3/7 | 0 |
Appeared to injure his hip in the third quarter. He could be worth stashing in deep formats since he seems to have a lock on the starting PG position, but it will require patience.
Delon Wright
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1/2 | 0 |
Might be in Casey’s doghouse. This should’ve been a huge season for Wright, but Derrick Rose, Josh Jackson, and rookie Saddiq Bey have been stealing away his minutes. I’m holding at least until we get a timeline for Hayes, but I wouldn’t blame you if you moved on.
Derrick Rose
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
24 | 2 | 8 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 9/18 | 4/4 |
Still got it. Hayes is still a ways away from eclipsing even post-injury DRose.
Svi Mykhailiuk
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
13 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 3/6 | 4/4 |
Another piece in Detroit’s wing puzzle. Got extended run today and played well.
Giannis Antetokounmpo
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
43 | 9 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 17/24 | 7/9 |
43 on 24 shots. Giannis might still be getting better.
Brook Lopez
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
8 | 7 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 3/7 | 0 |
BroLo gets a blurb for doing his job. All I see are some boards, 2 threes, and 2 blocks. A job well done.
Jrue Holiday
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
15 | 6 | 7 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 6/10 | 1/1 |
If Jrue can keep up the decreased TOs, it’d be a huge boon to his fantasy value.
Domantas Sabonis
Sabonis may have fouled out, but he had no trouble getting close to his season averages of 20/11/7. Sabonis is shooting threes and getting a smattering of stocks this year, and it’s beautiful to watch.
Malcolm Brogdon
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
21 | 7 | 11 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 4 | 8/18 | 1/2 |
46 minutes! Brogdon reminds me of a former Pacer in that Brogdon have it all.
Victor Oladipo
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
25 | 5 | 6 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 8/17 | 4/6 |
Vic had a vintage performance in a double-OT thriller against New Orleans.
Justin Holiday
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
9 | 7 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 3/9 | 0 |
Second only to Malcolm Brogdon in minutes played. Justin has always been a workhorse for whatever team he’s on, and tonight he contributed a little bit of everything.
Brandon Ingram
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
31 | 4 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 12/31 | 6/6 |
Ugly shooting night, but that’s what can happen when you try to will your team to a double-OT victory, falling short in the attempt.
Zion Williamson
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
24 | 10 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 9/19 | 6/8 |
Punting FT%, Zion has been returning top-75 value on the year. This is a nice all-around line and Zion even went 6-for-8 from the line.
Eric Bledsoe
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
12 | 11 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 1 | 7/11 | 0 |
SVG was on the record as saying he needed to do a better job of utilizing Bledsoe. Clearly he wanted to avoid another “I Dont wanna be here” fiasco. It seems to have paid off, with Bledsoe putting up back-to-back good performances.
Lonzo Ball
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
18 | 6 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 4 | 7/11 | 0 |
Lonzo didn’t have to sacrifice much to achieve mutual greatness, as he continues to roll with top-80 value in punt-FT% builds.
Josh Hart
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
3 | 10 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1/5 | 1/1 |
What makes Hart such a prolific rebounding guard? The world may never know.
Richaun Holmes
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
4 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2/4 | 0 |
Got into foul trouble and put an end to his string of good games. He’s still the center to own in Sacramento, make no mistake.
Harrison Barnes
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
18 | 9 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 5/12 | 7/8 |
Barnes has been the same player for at least four years now. Points, tres, and boards.
De’Aaron Fox
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
18 | 4 | 7 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 5/12 | 7/8 |
Damn, I wish Fox hadn’t cut his dreads. He looked so cool running the court in transition. Hasn’t stopped him from returning top-60 value thus far.
Hassan Whiteside
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
8 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 2/5 | 4/5 |
Only played because Holmes was in foul trouble. Yes, Whiteside can be an elite fantasy asset in just 20 MPG. Yes, he could be rosterable in just 15. Is it worth the headache and dealing with Walton’s rotations? I doubt it.
Draymond Green
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
5 | 5 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1/3 | 2/2 |
The engine’s revving…when I see D. Green and some 5s on the screen, I think 5×5.
Andrew Wiggins
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
16 | 3 | 5 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 2 | 7/15 | 0 |
Give credit where credit’s due, Wiggins isn’t as bad as his start indicated. Last year he chipped in some defensive stats, and he’ll need to do the same this year in order to return value.
Kelly Oubre Jr.
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
18 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 4 | 6/13 | 2/2 |
Somehow Oubre added another lowlight to his miserable start to the season, but thankfully the line doesn’t reflect Shaqtin’ moments.
Stephen Curry
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
30 | 9 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 5 | 9/18 | 7/7 |
Immediately follows up a 62-pt explosion with a casual 30. Steph is back.
Eric Paschall
PTS | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TOV | 3PTM | FG | FT |
14 | 7 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 6/10 | 0 |
A pretty little line from Paschall. The Dubs have so many guys of Draymond’s build with chinstraps, it’s uncanny.
