N. Noel - C

OKC

Noel ended with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 94-93 loss to Sacramento.

Noel played his customary 20 minutes off the bench, finishing with a serviceable fantasy line. In only 19 minutes per night, Noel is the 72nd ranked player in nine-category formats. The lack of scoring is obviously going to impact his value for certain team builds but the floor is high enough that he should be considered in most leagues. If Steven Adams is traded or suffers an injury, Noel would quickly become a must-roster player.

J. Crowder - SF

MIA

Jae Crowder accounted for 17 points (6-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four 3-pointers in 27 minutes Saturday vs. Phoenix.

Crowder has made four 3-pointers in three of the Heat’s five games in the bubble, shooting 17-of-29 from beyond the arc. Saturday’s 17-point effort was his best in those five games, and he’s scored 15 or more in three of Miami’s last four. Crowder’s rebounding and defensive contributions tend to grab the headlines, but he’s been a dependable shooter for the Heat as well.

D. Robinson - SF

MIA

Duncan Robinson shot 4-of-12 from three in Saturday’s loss to the Suns, posting a line of 25 points (7-of-15 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 37 minutes.

The seven free throw attempts were two shy of his season-high, and Saturday’s game was the third this season in which Robinson managed to block two shots. When Miami’s rotation is whole he tends to be pigeon-holed into the “points and 3-pointers” box, but Robinson had the opportunity to do a little more as both Jimmy Butler and Goran Dragic were out with ankle injuries. Robinson’s shooting ability is enough to make him a worthwhile fantasy pickup, and any production in other areas qualifies as a welcome bonus.

B. Adebayo - PF

MIA

Bam Adebayo finished Saturday’s loss to the Suns with 18 points (6-of-13 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, nine assists, one steal and three blocks in 30 minutes.

Adebayo was asked to do more as a playmaker with Jimmy Butler (ankle) sidelined, and overall he had a very good night when placed in those situations. The five turnovers weren’t great, but that figure qualifies as a minor hiccup for the young All-Star. He’ll still have chances to initiate actions when Butler returns, but the number of opportunities decrease slightly. Either way Adebayo is a must-have in any fantasy format.

T. Herro - SG

MIA

Tyler Herro was outstanding in Saturday’s loss to the Suns, as in 36 minutes he was responsible for 25 points (10-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, 10 assists and one 3-pointer.

Herro’s ten assists represent a new career-high, as the rookie took full advantage of there being more opportunities for him to make plays on the ball. Miami was without both Jimmy Butler (ankle) and Goran Dragic (ankle) Saturday, with Herro moving into the starting lineup as a result. Should those two have to miss any more game time, the rookie out of Kentucky is a prime fantasy option regardless of the format.

C. Johnson - PF

PHX

Cameron Johnson made both of his 3-point attempts in Saturday’s win over the Heat, finishing with 14 points (5-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one steal and one blocked shot in 27 minutes.

Johnson had a noteworthy achievement Saturday night, as he reached 100 made 3-pointers faster than any player in Suns history. The decision to move Johnson into the starting lineup at the four has worked wonders for Phoenix, especially as the rookie continues to make strides defending power forwards. Possessing solid fantasy value currently, Johnson will be a late-round value pick ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

D. Ayton - C

PHX

Deandre Ayton tallied 18 points (7-of-15 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 12 rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes Saturday vs. the Heat.

Ayton struggled with Bam Adebayo on the defensive end of the floor, but he still managed to post his second double-double in as many games. He now has three double-doubles in the Suns’ five games in the bubble, and has been one of the big reasons why Phoenix remains undefeated. The team’s current five-game win streak is the franchise’s longest in six years.

J. Carter - PG

PHX

Jevon Carter played 26 minutes in Saturday’s win over Miami, scoring a season-high 20 points (7-of-10 FGs) with four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and six 3-pointers.

Carter has long been known for his prowess on the defensive end of the floor, but he got the job done on both ends Saturday. The 20 points and six 3-pointers are season-highs, with the latter figure also representing a career-high. If Carter can consistently knock down perimeter shots, he’ll not only cement a role for himself in the rotation but increase his fantasy value as well.

D. Booker - SG

PHX

Devin Booker shot 15-of-26 from the field and 5-of-5 from the foul line in Saturday’s win over the Heat, finishing with 35 points, three rebounds, six assists and one steal.

Booker struggled from beyond the arc, missing all seven of his 3-point attempts, but the mid-range and in game was working well for the Suns’ star guard. He’s now scored 30 or more in three of the Suns’ last four games, and Phoenix remains the lone undefeated team in the bubble. Booker now has 89 30-point games in his career, one away from the Suns' franchise record.

E. Gordon - SG

HOU

Eric Gordon (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.

The hope is that Gordon will be able to play some before the start of the postseason, but he won't be available Sunday. The absences of both he and Russell Westbrook means more playing time (and scoring opportunities) for Danuel House and Ben McLemore, with James Harden serving as the primary playmaker.

A. Davis - PF

LAL

Anthony Davis shot 3-of-14 from the field and 2-of-2 from the foul line in Saturday’s loss to the Pacers, accounting for eight points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in 35 minutes.

At least Davis managed to fill his stat line, because outside of that this was a bad showing from the Defensive Player of the Year finalist. Saturday’s effort was his second single-digit scoring effort in the Lakers’ last three games, and while he appears to be healthy something has seemed off since he dropped 42 and 12 on the Jazz back on August 3. He’s still a must-play in any format, but given the recent struggles it’s understandable if some hesitate if the price tag is too high.

Q. Cook - PG

LAL

Quinn Cook tallied 21 points (8-of-14 FGs), one rebound and five 3-pointers in 24 minutes Saturday vs. the Pacers.

Lakers coach Frank Vogel used Saturday’s game to get extended looks at both Cook and rookie Talen Horton-Tucker, as the general feeling is that the Lakers’ playoff rotation is not fully set. Cook made a good case for himself, shooting 5-of-9 from three, while Horton-Tucker was responsible for 10 points (4-of-7 FGs), one rebound, one block and two 3-pointers in 16 minutes. Dion Waiters and J.R. Smith, who have struggled recently, were both DNP-CD’s on Saturday. With the Lakers having already locked up the top seed in the West, the battle for minutes on the back end of the rotation will garner most of the attention heading into the playoffs.

G. Bitadze - C

IND

Goga Bitadze (knee) is on a limit of 10 minutes, Pacers coach Nate McMillan said after Saturday's win over the Lakers.

Bitadze, who's been bothered by the knee for much of this season, played 12 minutes Saturday and finished with seven points, two rebounds, one steal and one blocked shot. Given the minutes restriction, don't expect much from him in the way of production moving forward.
