3 hours agoLos Angeles Lakers forward/center
Anthony Davis scored a game-high 31 points in Saturday's loss to Philadelphia, shooting 13-for-22 from the field and sinking two treys with five attempts. He added seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block to his line. Davis logged a team-high 39 minutes, but he still showed some signs of rust by committing five turnovers. AD has just returned from injury, so the Lakers have been careful with him, but it looks like he isn't limited by any minute restrictions anymore. That's great news for owners ahead of Tuesday's big clash with the Clippers.

3 hours agoLos Angeles Lakers forward
LeBron James scored 29 points in Saturday's loss to Philadelphia, passing Kobe Bryant for third place on the NBA's all-time scoring list. LeBron now sits on 33,655 points and he has his sights next on Karl Malone, who finished his career with 36,928 points. Leaving aside the big milestone, James had a pretty awful evening, committing eight turnovers and shooting just 1-for-6 from downtown on his way to finishing with a team-worst minus-22 rating. His line also included eight assists and seven rebounds with 9-for-18 overall shooting from the field. The Lakers are now set for another battle with the Clippers in a matchup that hasn't been very good for LeBron this season. He's shot only 37.2 percent from the field and a shocking 17.6 percent from downtown in two previous meetings against them.

4 hours agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward/center
Al Horford had a solid 16-point, six-rebound outing on Saturday against the Lakers, shooting 6-for-9 from the field and 2-for-5 from behind the arc. He had finished with single-digit points twice in the previous three games, so this was a much-needed improvement from the veteran. Horford's shooting has been very streaky this season and his efficiency is at 45.3 percent for the season, which is by far the worst mark in his career. With that said, he still finds ways to stay productive with his all-around ability, and the next matchup against Golden State is a favorable one.

4 hours agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward
Tobias Harris molded a hot start into a team-high 29 points in Saturday's win over the Lakers, shooting 10-for-20 from the field and 3-for-8 from downtown. He added six points from the line with seven attempts while grabbing eight rebounds. Harris is heating up again after a brief cold streak that had him average only 14.3 points per game in three outings. He's now dropped 20-plus points in back-to-back games, and he'll be in a sweet spot to do it again on Tuesday against the Warriors, who own the eighth-worst defense in the league.

4 hours agoPhiladelphia 76ers point guard
Ben Simmons produced another outstanding performance on Saturday, leading the team to a 108-91 victory against the Lakers with 28 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, and four steals. He played a game-high 41 minutes and missed only three of his 15 shot attempts from the floor while going 4-for-6 at the line. Simmons has now failed to score 20-plus points just once in the past seven games, and he's notched five double-doubles and one triple-double during the run.
Joel Embiid (hand) is close to returning, so Simmons will soon find it harder to flirt with the 20-point mark, but he'll still fill the box score on a nightly basis. His next opportunity to do so comes on Tuesday in a very good matchup against the struggling Warriors.

16 hours agoDallas Mavericks guard
Seth Curry had a good outing as a starter against Utah on Saturday, finishing a 112-107 loss with 19 points, four rebounds, four assists, and one steal. He shot a superb 4-for-5 from outside and finished 6-for-9 overall from the field. The 29-year-old sniper is enjoying a fine month offensively, shooting 43 percent from downtown and averaging 13.5 points. The next matchup against OKC will be a tough one for him, though, as the Thunder don't give up a lot of three-pointers. Curry managed only nine points in 26 minutes in the previous matchup against them on Dec. 31.

16 hours agoDallas Mavericks guard/forward
Luka Doncic struggled to find his shot in Saturday's matchup with the Jazz, but he still put together a nice fantasy line in a 112-107 loss with 25 points, seven assists, six rebounds, and two steals. He finished 11-for-25 from the field and 2-for-10 from downtown. Doncic has now shot 7-for-33 from deep in the past three games, but he's still gotten the job done. He'll go up against OKC next in a tricky matchup, although he did torch the Thunder in his only previous appearance against them this season, finishing a 106-101 loss on Dec. 31 with 35 points.

16 hours agoUtah Jazz center
Rudy Gobert was a major force one again in Saturday's matchup against the Mavericks, finishing a 112-107 win with 22 points and 17 rebounds. He shot a perfect 8-for-8 from the field and 6-for-9 at the line, adding five blocks and two assists with four turnovers. Gobert averages less than two turnovers per game, so it was a disappointment he couldn't take care of the ball this time around, but he more than made up for it in other areas. The Frenchman has now posted four consecutive double-doubles with at least 20 points and 14 rebounds.
Clint Capela's rebounding numbers have dropped in recent weeks, so Gobert should also be able to produce a big double-double on Monday night.

16 hours agoUtah Jazz small forward
Bojan Bogdanovic had a nice 23-point outing in Saturday's win over Dallas, shooting 6-for-16 from the field and 4-for-10 from downtown. He stayed perfect at the line with seven attempts but sadly didn't do much else in 35 minutes. Bogdanovic is usually good for a pair of dimes and a few boards every game, but it was just one of those days for him this time. He's enjoying a very good month offensively so far, notching 22 points per game on close to 50 percent shooting, and the next matchup against the Rockets is a tasty one, as only the Raptors have a worse defensive record against small forwards.

17 hours agoUtah Jazz shooting guard
Donovan Mitchell made a number of key plays to finish off the Mavericks on Saturday, recording a team-high 25 points on 9-for-25 shooting in a 112-107 win. His overall efficiency was poor, but the Louisville product produced a big performance from downtown with 5-for-11 shooting. He also racked up eight rebounds, five assists and two steals with five turnovers. Mitchell always seems to get his points no matter what and it's good to see him fill the stat sheet in other areas as well. He looks set for another productive night on Monday against the Rockets, who play with the second-fastest pace in the league.

18 hours agoBoston Celtics guard
Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Celtics have been shorthanded with Brown and
Jayson Tatum (groin) banged up.
Kemba Walker,
Marcus Smart, and
Grant Williams have been asked to step up in their absence. Walker would remain a solid DFS option if both Brown and Tatum sit on Sunday. Smart and Williams would have some streaming appeal with the Celtics banged up. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time for more information.

18 hours agoBoston Celtics forward
Jayson Tatum (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He pulled his groin during Wednesday's contest and was unable to play on Friday. The Celtics might play it safe and let Tatum rest until he's back to full speed.
Grant Williams and
Semi Ojeleye are expected to see more minutes if Tatum is out again. Williams could be worth a look as a streaming option for deep leagues if he gets another start.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Marc D'Amico
18 hours agoLos Angeles Clippers forward
Paul George (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. The Clippers believe he's getting closer to a return, but it's unclear if he'll be able to play until Thursday.
Landry Shamet has stepped up in his absence and is a decent streaming option until George is back.

19 hours agoDetroit Pistons center
Andre Drummond (lip) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last two games after getting hit in the mouth during Monday's game.
Thon Maker has started each of the last two games, but would head back to the second unit if Drummond returns here.
Christian Wood and
Markieff Morris would see less minutes as well.

19 hours agoDetroit Pistons guard
Bruce Brown Jr. (thumb) is available for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He missed each of the last two games due to a right thumb sprain.
Reggie Jackson (rest) is going to sit out the second game of the back-to-back set here.
Derrick Rose and Brown will be asked to split up most of the minutes without Jackson available.
