DeAndre Jordan had his best performance of the year on Tuesday against
Rudy Gobert and the Jazz, finishing a 119-114 loss with a big 15-point, 17-rebound double-double in 30 minutes off the bench. Jordan shot 6-for-8 from the field and even did a good job with his freebies, posting a 3-for-4 record at the line. His work also included four assists, two steals, and two blocks. Starting center
Jarrett Allen posted a minus-14 rating in 18 minutes and he's now logged just 30 total minutes over the last two games, which is encouraging news for Jordan owners. He'll go for a third consecutive double-double on Thursday night against the Nuggets and
Nikola Jokic, who struggles on the defensive end.

23 mins agoBrooklyn Nets point guard
Kyrie Irving registered his eighth game of the year with 25-plus points on Tuesday, but he did it very inefficiently, going 2-for-12 from downtown and 10-for-30 overall from the field. However, despite the ugly shooting night, Kyrie still somehow ended up with a plus-seven rating and a team-high 27 points in an eventual 119-114 loss to Utah. Irving has shot just 23.7 percent from deep across the last five games, so his mechanics seem a bit off at the moment. With that said, things should go smoother on Thursday against the Nuggets, who have found no answer to opposing point guards this season, allowing them to shoot close to 50 percent from the field.

33 mins agoUtah Jazz point guard
Mike Conley finished Tuesday's 119-114 win over the Nets with 18 points and shooting 5-for-16 from the field. Both teams struggled from deep all night and Conley was no different, as he missed all five of his attempts from downtown. The experienced point guard capped off the night with five assists and four rebounds. Conley is set for a reunion with Memphis on Friday in what should be a very emotional night for him. The Grizzlies have struggled defensively this season, but they have actually done a decent job against opposing point guards, limiting them to just 41.2 percent shooting from the field.

Rudy Gobert missed only two shots on his way to another double-double on Tuesday, finishing a 119-114 win over the Nets with 18 points and 15 rebounds. He went 8-for-10 from the field and 2-for-4 with his free throws, while collecting two blocks and two steals on the defensive end. Gobert had a slow start to the year, as he registered only one double-double in October, but he now has five double-doubles this month, averaging 15.3 points and 15.3 rebounds per game. Gobert is a double-double threat every night, although getting there might be a bit harder on Friday against the Grizzlies, who have
Jonas Valanciunas. The big Lithuanian is averaging 9.1 boards for the season in just 22.5 minutes of action.

48 mins agoUtah Jazz shooting guard
Donovan Mitchell produced a 30-point performance on Tuesday against the Jazz, even though he missed all five attempts from deep. Mitchell is shooting over 40 percent from downtown this season, but this was actually already his third outing in which he didn't make a single trey. He added six rebounds, two assists, and one steal in the 119-114 win over Brooklyn, shooting 13-for-26 from the field. The Jazz are rolling and they are heading to Memphis next for a nice matchup for the whole squad. The Grizzlies are among the worst defensive teams in the league, and they are allowing by far the most points per 48 minutes to opposing shooting guards, so Mitchell should be set for a huge night on Friday.

1 hour agoPhoenix Suns guard
Ricky Rubio seems to be really liking his new home in Phoenix as the guard recorded his third double-double in his last four games. Rubio was electric as he handed out 10 assists while scoring 21 points on eight of 17 shooting while also connecting on three makes from three with four rebounds on the night. Rubio has been rolling with stats of 18.8 points, 9.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.3 makes from three while shooting a 48.3% from the floor in his last four games. His DFS price tag is slowly creeping up, but he is still worth a look against the Hawks on Thursday while he is playing like this.

1 hour agoPhoenix Suns guard
Devin Booker continued his strong play on Wednesday, but his 21 points were not enough in the loss to the Lakers. Booker connected on half of his 18 shot attempts while handing out nine assists to go along with three boards and a block while coughing the ball up five times. Booker has been incredibly efficient to start the season where he is shooting 54.1% from the floor overall while scoring 25.3 points. He does lack defensive numbers (0.4 steals and 0.4 blocks on the season), but with shooting like this, we can accept those numbers.

1 hour agoLos Angeles Lakers power forward/center
Anthony Davis played through an injury to his ribs that he received in the first quarter and ended up playing 38 minutes in the win over the Suns. Davis finished the night with 24 points, 12 rebounds, four assists with two steals and a block to help lead the charge. He exited to the locker room after taking a shot to the ribs, only to return. He did receive some x-rays after the game that returned back negative, but there is some talk that he will sit out Wednesday's game versus the Warriors. Stay tuned for updates on the superstar big man.

LeBron James flirted with a triple-double as his club picked up the 123-115 victory over the Suns on Wednesday. James provided 19 points with 11 assists and seven rebounds with just a single turnover in 37 minutes of action. The Lakers go again on Wednesday and James has made it clear that he will not sit games for rest unless he is injured. We can assume he will be good to go in Wednesday's tilt with the Warriors, but we can assume he will not play heavy minutes in that one.

Kyle Kuzma found his rhythm on Tuesday against the Suns when he recorded 23 points with some efficient shooting in the eight-point victory. Kuzma connected on nine of 16 shots and added four boards with a steal and three makes from downtown. Kuzma has put up 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds with 2.0 makes from three over his last four games with a not so impressive shooting split of .463/.287/.667 in that span. He is a tough hold right now in category leagues but is worth a look in points leagues at the moment.

Marcus Morris finished with 22 points and nine rebounds in the loss to the Bulls. Despite this, he struggled with efficiency for most of this one as he shot 6-for-17 from the field and 3-for-9 from beyond the arc while coughing up six turnovers. David Fizdale relies heavily on Morris for offense, and it's why the eight-year veteran is averaging over 18 points per game. Part of that commitment from fantasy owners, though, is games like this one from Morris have been historically frequent enough to drive his value down despite his career-best three-point percentage.

Wendell Carter Jr. was impressive yet again, finishing with 17 points and 12 rebounds on 63.6 percent shooting in the win over the Knicks on Tuesday night. The sophomore had seven double-doubles across 44 injury-riddled games as a rookie, but this one marks his seventh already in the young season. A forgotten member of the loaded 2018 draft class, Carter is reminding folks about his potential around the bucket at both ends. Barring another health issue, he'll continue to do so all season long

10 hours agoChicago Bulls guard
Zach LaVine finished with 25 points on 9-for-19 shooting from the field and 3-for-8 shooting from beyond the arc during the win over the Knicks on Tuesday night. LaVine had scored a combined 22 points in his previous two games, and his overall scoring average is down over four points compared to last season. This outing should hopefully get him back on track as Chicago continues to integrate new pieces, even if it came against one of the worst teams in the league.

RJ Barrett finished off another loss with one of his better all-around outings by producing 21 points, nine assists, and six rebounds against the Bulls. This was only Barrett's second time shooting at least 50 percent from the field as he went 8-for-16 on the night. As a rookie with a high usage rate, those efficiency struggles are bound to arise more often than not.

Coby White seemingly single-handedly took care of the Knicks on Tuesday night by dropping 27 points, with 23 of those coming in the fourth quarter. The rookie floor-general, who hasn't hit more than four three-pointers in any game this season, tortured the Knicks by dropping seven. Having struggled with his shooting before this game (34.4 percent from the field and 21.2 percent from distance), this is exactly the confidence booster that White needed, however, don't expect this type of production consistently moving ahead.
