  • MEM Center #14

    Zach Edey (left ankle sprain) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pacers.
    Edey has been out for nearly two weeks, and there’s hope he’ll be available soon. Sunday will not be the day, with the Grizzlies announcing that he’s out. Brandon Clarke’s role as starting center should remain the same even after Edey returns.
  • PHX Shooting Guard #3

    Bradley Beal shot 5-of-18 from the field and 5-of-6 from the foul line in Saturday’s loss to Miami, accounting for 15 points, five rebounds, and four assists in 34 minutes.
    Beal had a rough night from beyond the arc, missing all six of his attempts in the defeat. However, the most significant issues for fantasy managers who have Beal rostered have been the limited defensive production and availability. His longest run of games without absence this season is six games, and the Suns are in Orlando to face the Magic on Sunday. The time off Phoenix will have after that game should benefit Beal, given his recent injury history.
  • PHX Small Forward #00
    Royce O’Neale logged 30 minutes in Saturday’s 121-111 loss to the Heat, scoring 23 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs) with seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and five 3-pointers.
    O’Neale has reached double figures in four straight games, with the last two coming as Kevin Durant’s replacement in the starting lineup. Rostered in 21% of Yahoo leagues, he’s been a top 50 player in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. Phoenix still has three games to play during the remainder of an expanded Week 7, making O’Neale a worthwhile pickup until Durant is cleared to return.
  • PHX Shooting Guard #1
    Devin Booker finished Saturday’s 121-111 loss to Miami with 21 points (6-of-16 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes.
    Booker had a tough night in Miami, shooting below 50% from the field and finishing with one less turnover (five) than made field goals (six). He remains a 3rd-round player in 9-cat formats, which aligns with the Suns guard’s value over the past two weeks. Booker won’t have much time to think about Saturday’s performance as the Suns visit Orlando on Sunday.
  • MIA Point Guard #14
    Tyler Herro shot 8-of-12 from the field in Saturday’s win over the Suns, accounting for 17 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 34 minutes.
    Ranking-wise, Herro has been Miami’s best fantasy option this season. He is the lone Heat player providing top-40 value in 8- and 9-cat formats heading into the team’s final two games of Week 7. Miami will host Cleveland on Saturday and won’t play again until Thursday against the Raptors.
  • MIA Shooting Guard #55
    Duncan Robinson finished Saturday’s win over Phoenix with 19 points (7-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, and five 3-pointers in 29 minutes.
    Robinson entered Saturday mired in a slump, having shot 5-of-25 from three in the previous four games. He snapped out of that funk in a big way, going 5-of-8 against the Suns. Robinson is a points and 3-pointers option, which means he has little value in category leagues when those shots aren’t falling. That wasn’t the case on Saturday, much to the Heat’s delight.
  • MIA Small Forward #22
    Jimmy Butler accounted for 24 points (9-of-12 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one block, and one 3-pointer in 33 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Suns.
    Butler, who has been dealing with knee and back issues recently, played 33 minutes without issue on Saturday. He’s scored 20 points or more in eight games this season, including two of his last four. Butler’s availability can sometimes be annoying, but he’s closing in on top-50 value in 9-cat formats.
  • MIA Center #13
    Bam Adebayo logged 34 minutes in Saturday’s 121-111 win over the Suns, scoring 25 points (9-of-16 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs) with 12 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer.
    Even if starting center Jusuf Nurkic weren’t sidelined with an injury, the Suns would not have had an answer for Adebayo. While he only recorded one steal, the offensive work, and rebounding made up for the minimal defensive production. Adebayo isn’t playing to the level of his Yahoo ADP (32), but he’s still providing top-50 value in 9-cat formats. The Heat are back in action on Sunday, as they’ll host the Cavaliers.
  • BOS Power Forward #8
    Kristaps Porzingis accumulated 19 points (6-of-17 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, three blocks, and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Grizzlies.
    Porzingis was back in the lineup after sitting out Friday’s win over the Bucks, and he had a difficult night shooting the basketball. Porzingis was 6-of-17 from the field, but fantasy managers did recoup solid value in rebounds, steals, blocks, and 3-pointers. The Celtics don’t play again until Thursday, giving Porzingis and their stars additional time to rest.
  • BOS Point Guard #11
    Payton Pritchard accounted for 22 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal, and six 3-pointers in 30 minutes in Saturday’s loss to Memphis.
    Pritchard struggled in Friday’s win over the Bucks, missing all three shot attempts and going scoreless. He rebounded in a big way on Saturday, knocking down six 3-pointers and scoring 22 points. The schedule for the remainder of Week 7 isn’t great, with the Celtics off until Thursday. However, matchups with Detroit and Washington (December 15) will be good opportunities for Pritchard to provide value, even if the rotation is whole.
  • BOS Small Forward #7
    Jaylen Brown shot 10-of-14 from the field and 0-of-1 from the foul line in Saturday’s loss to Memphis, scoring 22 points with three rebounds, six assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes.
    While Brown shot the ball exceptionally well on Saturday, he was the lone Celtics starter to make at least 50% of his attempts. Jayson Tatum (17/13/9 with one 3-pointer) shot 6-of-21 from the field, including 1-of-10 from three, and Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday also struggled with their accuracy. Over the past two weeks, Brown has provided 6th-round value in 9-cat formats.
