C. Capela - C

ATL

Clint Capela shot 11-of-16 from the field and 3-of-5 from the foul line in Saturday’s loss to the Blazers, finishing with 25 points, 15 rebounds, one steal and four blocks in 37 minutes.

Capela was nearly unstoppable in the first half, as he established season-highs for a game in both points (19) and blocks (four). With Portland adjusting its pick-and-roll coverage in order to keep Capela away from the basket, the big man scored just six points in the second half. Overall this was a very good night for the veteran center, who is Atlanta’s lone top-50 player in both 8- and 9-cat formats. Outperforming his Yahoo ADP (59), Capela should provide consistent top-50 value all season long, provided he stay healthy.

K. Huerter - SG

ATL

Filling in for the injured Cam Reddish, Kevin Huerter played 36 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Blazers and finished with 13 points (5-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one 3-pointer.

Huerter, rostered in 54% of Yahoo leagues, ranks outside of the top-100 in both 8- and 9-cat formats. Reddish should be back for Atlanta’s next game on Monday, as Saturday was the second game of a back-to-back, which would move Huerter back to the bench. He can be a solid contributor in a variety of statistical categories, and with Atlanta’s many injuries on the wing Red Velvet should be rostered in most leagues.

T. Young - PG

ATL

Trae Young shot 7-of-23 from the field and 11-of-12 from the foul line in Saturday’s loss to the Blazers, posting a line of 26 points, seven rebounds, 11 assists and one 3-pointer in 39 minutes.

Young continues to struggle with his shot, as he was 1-of-9 from three Saturday night. But it was an improvement on his showing (1-of-11 FGs, four points) in Friday’s blowout loss to the Jazz. With Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari both sidelined, and Rajon Rondo still shaking off the rust following his absence, Young is being asked to do a lot for the Hawks at the point. Following the game, Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce pointed to the way in which Portland adjusted its pick-and-roll coverages as a reason why Young and his teammates struggled during the second half. And it’s possible that the point guard isn’t at full strength, as Young was seen getting his midsection wrapped just as the fourth quarter began. Ranked just outside of the top-50 in 8-cat formats, he isn’t even top-100 in 9-cat due to the turnover numbers. Young had five more Saturday night.

R. Covington - PF

POR

Robert Covington shot 1-of-13 from the field in Saturday’s win over the Hawks, accounting for three points, 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and one 3-pointer in 28 minutes.

RoCo had a tough night, as he missed all six of his shot attempts inside the arc and wasn’t part of the closing lineup. With Covington struggling and C.J. McCollum (foot) sidelined, Terry Stotts went with Carmelo Anthony and Gary Trent Jr. to complete the Blazers’ rally. Covington was able to provide some production in non-scoring areas, but he hasn’t produced at the level that many expected before the season began. With a Yahoo ADP of 60 in 9-cat, Covington sits well outside of the top-100 presently. The absence of Jusuf Nurkic (wrist) will give RoCo more opportunities to produce offensively, but he didn’t take advantage Saturday night.

N/A

E. Kanter - C

POR

Starting for the injured Jusuf Nurkic, Enes Kanter played 29 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Hawks and finished with 12 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 15 rebounds, three assists, two steals and five blocked shot.

Wow. What a night for Kanter, who finished one blocked shot shy of his career-high. In fact, this was just the second time that he has rejected at least five shots in a game. There are still some issues on that end of the floor to address, as Clint Capela did whatever he wanted during the first half, but Kanter showed himself to be an effective replacement for Nurkic Saturday night. "I don't know why he has a bad reputation. When he was here two years ago, he was a solid defender for us," Blazers coach Terry Stotts said after the win. "I think some of the criticism about Enes was unwarranted." He's rostered in 59% of Yahoo leagues, and that percentage should increase significantly in the next 24 hours. If Kanter is still available in your league, pick him up.

G. Trent - SF

POR

Gary Trent Jr. shot 7-of-14 from the field in Saturday’s win over the Hawks, tallying 18 points, three rebounds, one assist and four 3-pointers in 27 minutes.

Trent Jr. continues to alternate double-digit scoring efforts with those of the single-digit variety, so if the pattern holds he may be in for a tough outing Monday in San Antonio. But he won’t lack for opportunities to buck that trend, especially if C.J. McCollum (left foot sprain) is unable to play. Trent Jr. hasn’t been able to carry over his play from the bubble into the new season, but now may be a good time to get in while he’s still available. The Blazers reserve is currently rostered in just 10% of Yahoo leagues.

Added 12:48 am (EST)

N/A

A. Simons - SG

POR

Anfernee Simons missed both of his shot attempts in Saturday’s win over the Hawks, finishing with zero points and two rebounds in eight minutes.

Simons started the second half in place of he injured C.J. McCollum, which was more about keeping Gary Trent Jr. in his customary reserve role. Even if Simons were to start on Monday against the Spurs, he doesn’t offer much in the way of fantasy value.

Added 12:48 am (EST)

N/A

D. Lillard - PG

POR

Damian Lillard led the Blazers to a win over the Hawks Saturday, finishing with 36 points (10-of-23 FGs, 12-of-12 FTs), seven rebounds, seven assists and four 3-pointers in 43 minutes.

The 43 minutes are a new season-high for Lillard, who has now played 40 minutes or more in three of Portland’s last four games. Obviously he’s used to logging heavy minutes, but with C.J. McCollum suffering a sprained left foot during Saturday’s game Lillard could be asked to do even more moving forward. Also, he has now gone five games without missing a free throw, making 40 during this stretch. He may not be providing first round value, but Lillard isn’t far off in either 8- or 9-cat formats.
