Rotoworld Player News

All Player News

Michael Porter

BKN Forward #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Michael Porter Jr. had 28 points (9-of-17 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and six three-pointer against the Mavericks on Monday.

Porter Jr. has now scored at least 27 points in seven of his last nine games. The 27-year-old small forward has provided first-round per game value over the last two weeks and been one of the biggest values in all of fantasy this season. The Nets have three more games this week, the first of which is against the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Klay Thompson

DAL Guard #31

Klay Thompson had 18 points (6-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and six three-pointers against the Nets on Monday.

Thompson isn’t having a great season, to say the least. He doesn’t provide much outside of scoring and threes and he’s only averaging 11.4 points per game this year. Occasionally, he’ll get hot from downtown, like his old self from the Golden State days. The 35-year-old had 18 points on six threes Monday. The only other category where he totaled more than one of anything was rebounds with two. He’s not worth rostering in most leagues.
Naji Marshall

DAL Forward #13

Naji Marshall had 22 points (9-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists, three steals and one block against the Nets on Monday.

Marshall made total sense as a waiver wire solution this week, especially in deeper formats. With PJ Washington (ankle) and Anthony Davis (hand) both sidelined, Marshall is locked into a starting spot and 30+ minutes per game. He delivered on his opportunity Monday with 22 points, four rebounds and nine assists. He even added three steals and a block on the defensive end. The good news is it’s not too late to pick up Marshall with the Mavericks still having three games left this week and Washington and Davis both out for at least the next week.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg had 27 points (10-of-17 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers in the Mavericks’ 113-105 victory over the Nets on Monday.

Flagg turned his left ankle in the third quarter and briefly headed to the locker room before returning and leading the Mavericks to victory. With about 1:30 left in regulation and a seven-point lead, Flagg took his man off the dribble and hit a three-pointer at the top of the key to give the Mavericks a 112-102 lead. The 19-year-old forward has scored at least 26 points in two of his last three games. He’s provided sixth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Mavericks will be back on the floor Wednesday against the Nuggets.
Payton Pritchard

BOS Guard #11

Payton Pritchard had 23 points (10-of-22 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists, two steals and three three-pointers against the Pacers on Monday.

Pritchard has scored at least 21 points in three of his last five games. The 27-year-old point guard led the Celtics in scoring Monday with Jaylen Brown out of the lineup. Pritchard has provided fourth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Celtics are off until Thursday, when they take on the Heat in Miami.
Collin Murray-Boyles

TOR Forward #12

Collin Murray-Boyles recorded 12 points (6-of-9 FGs), seven rebounds, six assists and two steals in Monday’s loss to the 76ers.

With Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic saying on Sunday that Jakob Poeltl (back) remains without a timetable for return, the starting center job belongs to Murray-Boyles for the foreseeable future. The lone complaint, if there is one, for fantasy managers is that the rookie doesn’t provide three-point production. Over the past two weeks, Murray-Boyles has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo! leagues, CMB is close to a must-add in 12-team formats.
Scottie Barnes

TOR Forward-Guard #4

Scottie Barnes accumulated 15 points (5-of-16 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in Monday’s loss to the 76ers.

Give the 76ers credit for a much-improved defensive effort on Barnes, who was limited to 15 points after scoring 31 in Sunday’s overtime victory. However, he still filled the stat sheet, and poor shooting performances have been far from the norm for the Raptors’ star. A third-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, Barnes has offered top-15 per-game value for the season.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard had 13 points (5-of-14 FGs), six rebounds, nine assists, two steals and three three-pointers against the Celtics on Monday.

Nembhard scored 29 points in his return game from a back injury against the Heat on Saturday. The 25-year-old point guard had more of a down game Monday with just 13 points on 14 field goal attempts. Nembhard played 33 minutes against the Celtics, which is a sign that his back wasn’t bothering him. He’ll have Tuesday to rest before the Pacers take on the Raptors on Wednesday.
Immanuel Quickley

TOR Guard #5

Immanuel Quickley finished Monday’s loss to the 76ers with 18 points (8-of-18 FGs), six rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers.

While Quickley’s production in the points and rebounds categories was solid, the lack of assists was disappointing for the Raptors’ point guard. Monday’s game was the first in which he failed to record an assist, one week after tallying one in a win over the Hawks. Quickley is averaging 6.1 helpers per game on the season, but a decrease in assists and poor shooting (37.7 percent over the past two weeks) has weighed down his fantasy value recently.
Brandon Ingram

TOR Forward #3

Brandon Ingram (thumb) accounted for 17 points (5-of-15 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), 10 rebounds and seven assists in Monday’s loss to the 76ers.

How much Ingram’s right thumb was an issue on Monday is up for him to say, but the Raptors’ wing struggled to find his touch against the 76ers. Back after a two-game absence, he missed both of his three-point attempts and shot 33.3 percent from the field overall. The good news for Ingram managers was that he provided substantial value in the rebounding and assists categories, recording his first double-double of the season. Toronto has three games remaining on its Week 13 schedule.
