NBA Player News

In an article posted recently by Dream Shake, it is speculated that Chriss may not be long to stick with the Rockets based on a logjam at the forward spots. He’s not likely to offer fantasy value this season.

Podziemski and the Warriors put on an offensive clinic in San Antonio, scoring 148 points on 57.7 percent shooting from the field. The second-year guard led the way, with the 27 points being the most he’s scored in a game since February 5. A double-digit scorer in six straight and eight of his last nine appearances, Podziemski has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. And the lone game in which he did not reach double figures was one he exited after less than a minute with a back injury that sidelined him for nearly two weeks. Golden State plays four games during Week 22, starting with the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

James has played in five straight games following a seven-game absence, and his name has popped up frequently on the Lakers’ injury report. Expect him to play and handle his typical workload in a crucial Western Conference battle.

Hart may not have recorded a triple-double on Sunday, but he did offer another of his robust stat lines. Over the past two weeks, he has provided third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long production in the former. Hart has been a top-25 player in nine-cat formats this season, and based on his Yahoo! ADP (116), he has been one of the most valuable players in fantasy basketball. The Knicks play four games during Week 22, starting with the 76ers on Tuesday.

Anunoby has been outstanding recently, providing top-5 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. He’s scored 23 points or more in six straight games, which is his most productive run of the season to date. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) out, there has been additional room for Anunoby to spread his wings offensively, and those who have him rostered have reaped the rewards. New York begins a four-game Week 22 on Tuesday against the 76ers.

After totaling 14 points in the first three quarters of Sunday’s game, Bridges upped the production during the fourth. Shooting 6-of-8 from the field, he scored 14 in the final frame as the Knicks pulled away for the victory. Bridges has scored 21 points or more in four of his last five appearances and has offered fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The Knicks play four games during Week 22, starting with the 76ers on Tuesday. With New York visiting Cleveland the following night, Bridges’ playing time may take a slight hit against Philadelphia.
