B. Clarke - PF

MEM

Brandon Clarke will start for the injured Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) on Wednesday vs. Utah.

JJJ will not play again this season, so Clarke could be fully unleashed. He cruised his way to mid-round value in 9-cat this season in a reserve role, so there's some monster upside here for a player that can do it all on the stat sheet. Kyle Anderson could also emerge as a small winner in JJJ's absence, and it's possible Gorgui Dieng gets a shot at some backup PF/C minutes.

B. Adebayo - PF

MIA

Bam Adebayo said he needs to be smarter about avoiding "ticky-tack" fouls against the Lakers while staying active on defense.

"We can't just let them get free layups and get in motion," said Bam. "That's when everything starts clicking for them." Foul trouble wasn't a major issue for Adebayo during the regular season, but he averaged 3.3 fouls during the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Lakers will make it a point to go right at Bam to force the refs to make some tough decisions. Hopefully, he will be able to avoid foul trouble, because the matchup between Bam and Anthony Davis will be a pleasure to watch.

V. Oladipo - SG

IND

Jared Weiss of The Athletic is reporting that Victor Oladipo is "looking to move on" from the Pacers this offseason.

It's not surprising to see a report like this as Oladipo and the Pacers were far apart in contract extension talks before the start of the 2019-20 season -- Ian Begley of SNY reported that Oladipo turned down a 4-year, $80M offer. Oladipo clearly feels like he deserves more but he simply hasn't looked the same since his devastating quad injury. In the playoffs, Oladipo averaged just 17.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists on 39% shooting. He does have one year left on his deal, so if his intention is to leave the Pacers will obviously look to deal him rather than let him walk for nothing.

Z. LaVine - SG

CHI

Zach LaVine is excited to get to work with new head coach Billy Donovan.

“I was extremely happy,” LaVine said of the hire. “Somebody with his track record not just in the NBA but in college as well, a whole ton of players who are proven saying how great of a guy he is and how good of a coach he is. People like me, when you want to be great, you want to be coached extremely well." LaVine is one of several Bulls who will get an inevitable bump with former coach Jim Boylen exiled, and with how open the bottom of the East is we could see Chicago making it to the playoffs if some of their young guys like Wendell Carter Jr. and Coby White make a leap. LaVine was a top-40 player in 9-cat on a per-game basis and is a safe bet to have another strong campaign in his age-25 season.

J. Tatum - PF

BOS

The Celtics are expected to offer Jayson Tatum a max contract extension this offseason.

This is obviously a no-brainer with Tatum establishing himself as a superstar at the young age of 22. The Celtics also have to be encouraged how much he stepped up in the postseason with averages of 25.7 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1.0 steals and 2.8 triples. He's just scratching the surface and will be coming off the board in the first round of competitive fantasy drafts next season.

G. Hayward - SF

BOS

Gordon Hayward is expected to pick up his player option for next season.

His player option is worth $34M, a number that he wouldn't come close to on the open market. Hayward's time in Boston has been a disappointment but injuries have obviously contributed. And while he was invisible in Sunday's Game 6 defeat to Miami, this was definitely his best season with the Celtics with averages of 17.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 triples. His ADP should be suppressed again next season which may make him a nice value late in drafts.

M. Monk - SG

CHA

In his first interview since his February suspension, Malik Monk said he's solid now, both mentally and physically.

“I’m in a great place with my mind and my body," Monk said. "The responsibility now is even bigger for me to stay like this, instead of swerving off a little bit.” Monk was having the best stretch of his career before the suspension, and it's well known that GM Mitch Kupchak is a fan -- he has repeatedly called Monk Charlotte's most talented player. Monk put on some muscle which helped him get to the rim more often, so if has some positive regression with his 3-point shooting he could make some noise in the final year of his rookie contract.

J. Collins - PF

ATL

John Collins made 100 consecutive free throws at the end of Sunday's practice.

Collins' free-throw percentage has improved each year in the NBA. He hit 71.5% as a rookie, 76.3% in his second season, and 80.0% in 2019-20. He's already exceptional from a FG% perspective, and ramped up his contributing stats last year with 1.4 triples (on 40.1% from deep), 1.6 blocks and 0.8 steals. He's a fantasy star in the making.

B. Adebayo - PF

MIA

Bam Adebayo was exceptional during Miami's series-clinching win on Sunday, scoring a game-high 32 points on 11-of-15 FGs and 10-of-11 FTs.

Miami is headed to the NBA Finals after dispatching the Pacers, Bucks and Celtics. Adebayo also grabbed 14 rebounds with five assists, one steal and just two turnovers in 39 minutes of action. He's an incredible player whose versatility gives the Heat a variety of ways to play small-ball -- it helps him for fantasy purposes, but really hurts other bigs on the roster like Kelly Olynyk (DNP-CD) and Meyers Leonard (DNP-CD).

T. Herro - SG

MIA

Tyler Herro posted 19 points, seven assists and five rebounds in 35 minutes off Miami's bench on Sunday.

Herro shot 8-of-13 from the floor and he simply doesn't look like a rookie. The lack of crowd animosity in the Orlando bubble might help, but any 20-year-old guard who can drop 19/7/5 in a closeout game, off the bench, has nerves of steel. He wasn't a terrific fantasy option this year but should push into the middle rounds of drafts based on his playoff performance.

A. Iguodala - SG

MIA

Andre Iguodala shot 5-of-5 from the field in Sunday's series-clinching win, hitting four 3-pointers to score a season-high 15 points with three rebounds, two steals, one assist and zero turnovers in 28 minutes.

The Celtics dared Iguodala to shoot and he made them pay for their disrespect. He hadn't scored double-digit points since August 8, so fantasy managers could be forgiven for not anticipating this outbreak. It's a good reminder that the versatile 36-year-old can still light it up in the right situation. Expect him to play a key role in the Finals.

M. Smart - SG

BOS

Marcus Smart scored 20 points during the Celtics' 125-113 Game 6 defeat on Sunday.

Smart opened the game 4-of-5 from deep, then went ice cold with zero makes on his final eight attempts from deep. His defensive impact is unimpeachable, but he'll need to be a more consistent scoring threat to push Boston to the next level in 2020-21. He hit 2.3 triples this year, so there's hope, but he also shot 38.0% from the field overall.

J. Brown - SG

BOS

Jaylen Brown tweaked his left ankle on Sunday, but kept playing to finish with a team-high 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting, three 3-pointers, eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in 40 minutes.

Brown was undercut by Jimmy Butler on a layup attempt. No foul was called, but it was an obvious violation -- the good news is that Brown looked OK despite the collision. He's an emerging star who will cost fantasy managers a pick in the 30-40 range next season. Given that the Celtics are off until the start of 2020-21, there's no need to put Brown on the injury report.
