Monday Recap I Fantasy Basketball I Razzball

Happy belated MLK day, all.

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
7-11	3-5	1-3	3	1	1	0	0	18

Wiggins has been quietly ramping up into midseason form, contributing to this depleted Warriors squad on both ends.

James Wiseman

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
2-4	0-0	0-0	3	0	1	1	5	4

Benched down the stretch in favor of Steve Kerr’s favorite big, Kevon Looney.

Stephen Curry

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
8-22	3-12	7-7	1	7	1	0	4	26

The FG% was ugly, but the Warriors got the dub as the Cavs just rolled over and died late in the fourth.

Kelly Oubre Jr.

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
9-18	2-8	3-4	4	0	2	2	0	23

Much like Wiggins, Oubre has been learning the ins and outs of the Dubs system, and is getting better everyday. For some reason though, he still can’t hit a 3 to save his life. Hope you bought low.

Eric Paschall

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
8-11	0-1	3-4	4	3	1	0	0	19

Paschall plays like wrecking ball down low, but he’s also got a serviceable shot. Filled up the stat sheet tonight, though usually you’re just looking at points and tres on good percentages.

Anthony Davis

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
6-16	0-1	5-7	17	7	2	3	1	17

Went just 6-16 but did everything else, fantasy-wise.

LeBron James

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
6-16	2-7	5-8	5	5	1	0	5	19

Also went 6-16 to keep his pal The Brow company, but did not do nearly as much elsewhere. Also, bricked the game-winner.

Dennis Schroder

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
8-15	1-5	8-9	5	3	2	0	3	25

Has been a very solid low-end PG as the Lakers’ starter. Can’t be mad at that production.

Kyle Kuzma

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
6-11	3-7	0-0	10	0	0	0	2	15

Did what he does best, provided scoring off the bench and a smattering of threes. The boards are a welcome surprise, though he has pulled down 10 or more in 4 of his last 7 contests.

Montrezl Harrell

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
7-8	0-0	3-5	8	1	0	2	0	17

Uber-efficient game from the big guy.

Christian Wood

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
11-16	3-5	5-6	9	1	1	0	3	30

Like a spurned ex-lover, Wood is trying to send James Harden a message with his play, namely: you messed up.

Eric Gordon

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
9-17	3-7	0-1	2	4	0	0	1	21

The king of empty 20-pt games, EG has been doing it for longer than any of these upstart sharpshooters. Threw in a few assists for good measure.

Victor Oladipo

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
13-23	4-9	2-4	5	9	2	0	7	32

Also a revenge game of sorts, Oladipo showed out in his first game for the Houston Rockets. 7 TOs were his only blemish. Are you thinking about me, Indy?

Lauri Markkanen

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
5-12	4-11	4-4	7	0	2	0	2	18

Bulls fans have to be thrilled that he’s back and healthy, as he makes the whole team look better.

Zach LaVine

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
11-16	4-8	7-8	4	7	2	1	5	33

Boy can score. His efficiency is off the charts this season, he’s contributing boards and dimes, over a steal a game—just needs to cut down the 4.1 TOs.

Daniel Gafford

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
2-5	0-0	3-3	3	1	1	2	0	7

The buzz about him taking WCJ’s starting spot has died down, but Gafford is low-key a nice blocks streamer in a pinch. And in just 14 MPG, too.

Jerami Grant

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
10-19	2-6	5-5	4	6	0	1	2	27

The Pistons keep asking, and he just keeps delivering.

Mason Plumlee

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
7-10	0-0	1-3	7	4	2	0	2	15

Makes me sick that I didn’t pick him up early in the year. The FT% hasn’t even been that bad. Assists and steals from a big, god damnit.

Derrick Rose

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
6-11	1-4	8-9	3	4	2	0	3	21

His protégée in Killian Hayes went down, now he’s on a mission to hunt down anyone and everyone.

Bam Adebayo

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
9-15	0-1	10-11	11	5	2	1	7	28

7 TOs from a big are less than desirable, but with Bam you take your lumps. Contributed everywhere else, even hit 10-11 from the line, representative of his improved FT-shooting all year.

Duncan Robinson

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
6-9	6-9	0-0	3	3	0	0	3	18

6-9 from the field, 6-9 from beyond the arc. Nice.

Kendrick Nunn

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
8-15	2-4	0-0	5	3	2	1	2	18

Has a chance to produce while the Heat are banged up. Tonight he did just that, providing efficient scoring, boards and stocks.

Kristaps Porzingis

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
8-14	2-5	5-7	9	1	0	2	1	23

He’s back, and he’s playing B2Bs! A nice surprise, this early on in the going.

Tim Hardaway Jr.

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
0-12	0-6	0-0	5	1	0	0	2	0

Shooters…shoot? Hold this L, THJ. He’ll probably go 12-12 in his next start.

James Johnson

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
6-11	2-6	1-1	6	2	0	1	2	15

James has been providing across-the-board production for years now. He’s getting the run, so worth a look in 14-teamers.

OG Anunoby

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
5-12	3-5	0-0	11	0	2	1	1	13

Double-doubled with three stocks.

Kyle Lowry

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
9-12	3-5	2-2	9	7	0	1	4	23

He’s almost the same age as Bron, man. Stud in fantasy and on court.

Chris Boucher

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
8-12	2-5	3-3	10	2	1	3	1	21

Making Toronto miss Ibaka and Gasol a little less, I’d imagine.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
13-26	2-6	6-8	12	7	2	0	1	34

Did everything tonight, including shoot relatively well from the line.

Jrue Holiday

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
8-16	2-4	4-4	4	6	0	0	0	22

The increased efficiency looks like it’s here to stay, since the eldest Holiday moved to Milwaukee. And the TOs are down, due to less time with the ball in his hands.

Kevin Durant

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
10-21	2-4	8-9	9	6	0	2	3	30

Just a walking, running, galloping, slashing, pivoting, fading bucket.

James Harden

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
13-25	3-10	5-6	6	12	0	1	6	34

Same could be said for James, but with less of the agile, dexterous verbs.

Mikal Bridges

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
6-9	2-5	3-7	8	2	1	1	1	17

Over-performing his ADP by a long shot. The poor FT-shooting is an anomaly.

Deandre Ayton

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
7-14	0-2	4-5	16	3	0	1	3	18

More in line with what we were expecting from the big fella at the start of the season.

Devin Booker

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
5-21	2-6	0-0	3	4	1	0	3	12

An ugly game from DBook, all-around. A buy-low target to be sure, but don’t expect last year’s production. This Suns team is too solid.

Brandon Clarke

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
8-13	1-1	0-0	5	3	2	0	1	17

Clarke’s been ramping up after a slow start to the season. Boards, steals, efficiency.

Xavier Tillman

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
5-8	1-2	1-2	6	1	1	0	1	12

I can’t lie, I don’t exactly know who Tillman is, but this is a nice introduction.

Grayson Allen

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
4-8	2-5	6-7	6	3	1	0	4	16

The infamous tripper is actually carving out a nice role for himself in this Memphis rotation. Ja Morant’s return led to De’Anthony Melton getting a DNP, but Allen chugs along.

DeMar DeRozan

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
6-9	0-0	8-8	6	11	2	0	4	20

Back on track after a few off-games following a personal hiatus.

LaMarcus Aldridge

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
10-17	0-1	2-2	2	1	1	1	1	22

Had to have a good game after being benched in favor of Poeltl down the stretch his last time out. Still, this line is pretty scoring-heavy. LMA seems to finally be slowing down after many many years as a top-30 option.

Dejounte Murray

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
4-9	1-3	0-0	9	11	0	1	1	9

Does everything. Exactly as advertised.

Rudy Gay

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
8-17	5-8	0-0	7	1	1	0	0	21

Still a professional bucket-getter, at his advanced (basketball) age. Highest plus-minus on the squad, too.

Jakob Poeltl

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
5-7	0-0	1-2	7	1	0	3	2	11

If Poeltl is getting 20+ MPG, he will be valuable. 7 boards and 3 blocks tonight.

Derrick Jones Jr.

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
2-4	0-2	1-3	5	1	2	3	0	5

Airplane is getting extended run while McCollum and Nurk are out. Thankfully he plays many positions and can absorb a lot of minutes that way. Showed a little taste of the defensive stats to come.

Damian Lillard

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
10-23	3-10	12-12	3	6	1	1	5	35

Dame time. Even though the Blazers lost.

Jarred Vanderbilt

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
3-4	0-0	2-4	8	3	3	1	3	8

Coach loves him, and he’s filling in admirably for an injured KAT.

D’Angelo Russell

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
11-22	6-13	3-5	3	7	4	1	3	31

Went off, but it wasn’t enough in a losing effort to the Hawks.

De’Andre Hunter

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
8-15	3-6	6-7	4	2	3	0	6	25

He’s been so good this year despite the Hawks locker-room dysfunction. 6 TOs are the blemish.

Clint Capela

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
10-16	0-0	3-3	15	2	2	3	4	23

Has some people questioning whether he’s dethroned John Collins as the second scoring option. Personally, I doubt it, as Collins has so many more tools, but this is a promising line.

Aaron Gordon

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
6-18	2-7	4-4	17	9	0	2	4	18

One assist off of a triple-double against the Knicks. Well, somebody on this Magic team has to score. It’s either him or Vooch.

Nikola Vucevic

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
10-16	2-5	2-2	14	0	0	2	0	24

Speaking of, Vucevic did Vucevic things. Perennial second-rounder.

Cole Anthony

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
2-12	2-5	0-0	5	1	1	1	1	6

The shooting percentages were foul, despite Anthony not getting to the line once. See what I did there?

Julius Randle

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
5-19	2-6	9-13	17	1	0	0	0	21

Putrid shooting performance from Randle—did the Knicks win this one, or did the Magic lose this one?

R.J. Barrett

FG	3PT	FT	REB	AST	STL	BLK	TO	PTS
9-19	0-3	4-4	10	4	0	1	3	22

Line of the game, right here, though it isn’t saying much. Missed all of his 3-pt attempts, as expected.
