  • NBA Power Forward #5

    Ray Spalding (Achilles) exited Monday’s game vs. the Wizards after going down with an Achilles injury.
    There are no reports yet on whether Spalding ruptured his Achilles, and we certainly hope that’s not the case. He just inked a two-way deal with the Rockets last week and this would be a major blow for Houston and him. We’ll have more after Spalding undergoes an MRI.

  • WAS Power Forward #33

    Kyle Kuzma led Washington with 28 points (13-of-23 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and two 3-pointers in a 110-98 loss to the Pelicans on Sunday.
    It has been a horrible season for Kuzma, and the lack of availability has only made things worse. However, this was his second straight start after he came off the bench in his first two games following a rib sprain. He was able to set a new season-high for points and make more than 50% of his shots for a third straight game after reaching that mark just three times prior to his length absence. Kuzma’s value this season is still terrible in comparison to previous years, but he is starting to pick things up.
  • NOP Small Forward #25
    Trey Murphy (left ankle) posted a full line on Sunday with 22 points (8-of-19 FGs), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and four 3-pointers against the Wizards.
    The injury woes continue to plague the Pelicans, and Murphy is just the latest one that they may have to deal with. Murphy still played enough to make a huge impact for fantasy managers, but there is certainly a chance that he ends up missing time, especially with a back-to-back coming up on Tuesday and Wednesday. Brandon Boston Jr. entered the game when Murphy came out late in the third, and there is a chance that he replaces Murphy in the starting lineup if he misses a game. This isn’t the same ankle that he injured a few weeks ago, which could be seen as a positive.
  • NOP Shooting Guard #3
    CJ McCollum led New Orleans with 25 points (9-of-18 FGs), three rebounds, three assists, one block and six 3-pointers in a 110-98 win over Washington on Sunday.
    The Pelicans’ two matchups with Washington this season came over the course of a three-day stretch. During that, McCollum was able to score 75 points while hitting 16 threes. They didn’t have any answers for him, and while the encore to his 50-point night wasn’t as effective, McCollum still did enough to help the Pelicans win consecutive games for just the second time this season. He has scored at least 20 points in five straight games and will look to keep that streak, as well as the winning streak, going against Minnesota on Tuesday.
  • NOP Point Guard #5
    Dejounte Murray recorded a triple-double on Sunday with 14 points (5-of-14 FGs), 10 rebounds, 12 assists and one 3-pointer against the Wizards.
    Shooting efficiency continues to plague Murray, and he has shot worse than 40% from the floor in five straight games. His 36.5% shooting this season is by far the worst mark of his career, but he was still able to help them get their second straight win. Dejounte recorded his first triple-double as a Pelican, which is something that he has come close to doing multiple times this season. Unfortunately, his fantasy value will continue to be capped by his poor shooting. He’ll look to get back on track on Tuesday with Minnesota coming to town.
  • SAC Small Forward #13
    The Kings will start Malik Monk, Keon Ellis, DeMar DeRozan, Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis against the Warriors on Sunday.
    Murray will be back after missing their last two games with an ankle issue. However, De’Aaron Fox is sidelined with a glute contusion, which means that Keon Ellis will get another start. Monk and Sabonis should be the primary playmakers in this game.
  • DET Shooting Guard #51
    Ron Harper Jr. has agreed to a two-way contract with the Pistons.
    Harper Jr. has played in a total of 10 NBA games in his career, and he’ll likely spend most of his time in the G-League. He has averaged 10.6 points and 2.3 triples per game for the Maine Celtics so far this season.
  • WAS Point Guard #15
    Malcolm Brogdon (right foot pain) will not return to Sunday’s game against the Pelicans.
    Brogdon didn’t return to the court after halftime, which allowed rookie Kyshawn George to start the third quarter in his place. If Brogdon, Jordan Poole and Bilal Coulibaly all remain sidelined against Houston on Tuesday, George could get the starting nod.
  • POR Center #2
    Deandre Ayton (rest) has been upgraded to probable for Monday’s game against the Pistons.
    Ayton was initially listed as questionable, and on the following injury report, he has been upgraded to probable. Ayton should be good to go despite the strange initial listing, which means that Donovan Clingan won’t get the starting nod.
  • BOS Small Forward #7
    Jaylen Brown had a strong first half on Sunday and finished with 21 points (8-of-19 FGs), three rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and one 3-pointer against the Thunder.
    This was absolutely a tale of two halves for Brown, as he entered the break with 21 points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block. Do those numbers look familiar. Well, that’s what he finished with. He played 19 minutes in the second half and contributed seven missed shots and two turnovers. That’s it. Brown was so effective before halftime, which makes his second half fall off so surprising. This was his first game back after a two-game absence with a shoulder strain, and his return pushed Sam Hauser (11 minutes) back to the bench. Brown will look to shake off the poor second half and get back on track in Denver on Tuesday, which will kick off a three-game week for them.
  • BOS Small Forward #0
    Jayson Tatum led Boston on Sunday with 26 points (7-of-17 FGs, 10-of-12 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals and two 3-pointers in a 105-92 loss to Oklahoma City.
    Following an eight-game double-double streak, Tatum went their last four games without one before getting back on track in this game. It wasn’t enough for them to secure a win over the top team in the West, but Tatum was still able to make an impact, especially at the free throw line. They have a three-game week coming up, starting in Denver on Tuesday. That will limit the fantasy impact that Tatum is able to make, but he should continue to be effective when he suits up.
