NBA Player News

Love made his season debut in the city where he began his NBA career, and the workload was limited. While he did add value to the Heat in his 13 minutes on the court, he’s a player who’s more valuable to his team than fantasy managers. Leave Love on the waiver wire for now.

It’s safe to say that SGA is on a heater at the moment. The 26-year-old point guard has scored at least 35 points in three of his last four games and at least 40 points in his last two games. Gilgeous-Alexander was highly efficient against the Pacers as he poured in 45 points on 22 shots, made 4-of-5 attempts from behind the 3-point line, dished out eight assists and made all 11 of his free throw attempts. He was +12 in 38 minutes in the six-point victory. SGA is a top three player in fantasy this year.

Holland has been upgraded from questionable to available, and the rookie will provide additional wing depth off the bench. While he hasn’t offered much fantasy value thus far, Holland will be worth a look later in the season, especially if the Pistons fall out of contention for a postseason spot.

Stewart was initially questionable for Thursday’s game but will not play. His continued absence means that Paul Reed will remain Jalen Duren’s backup. Reed offers limited streaming value in this role; he’s only worth a look in extremely deep leagues.
