I. Thomas - PG

WAS

Isaiah Thomas underwent resurfacing surgery on his right hip in May and will be ready for the 2020-21 NBA season according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

This news obviously flew under the radar because it happened when the NBA was paused. Thomas has been battling this hip issue for three years and Shams is reporting that this latest surgery should completely resolve it. Thomas has been a shell of himself ever since and it remains to be seen how much interest he'll draw on the open market. What he does have working for him is the fact that this is a very underwhelming free agent class.

N/A

Z. Williamson - PF

NOP

Zion Williamson hit 12-of-15 shots, and 5-of-5 free throws for 31 points, two assists, and six rebounds, with two turnovers in a win over the Kings.

Williamson had an excellent scoring night, operating right around the rim as usual. No Kings defender could match his strength and leaping ability, which made the game easy for the second-year star. Because of his shooting deficiencies, he’ll never be a top fantasy player, but he did sink all five of his free throws in this one.

P. Dozier - PG

DEN

P.J. Dozier hit 3-of-5 shots, 2-of-3 3-pointers, and 1-of-2 free throws for nine points, three assists, four rebounds, three steals, and a block with no turnovers in a loss to the Jazz.

Dozier had one of his best nights of the season, featuring a season-high three steals. Without Michael Porter Jr., Dozier's stepped into a larger role and been solid. He isn't more than a fantasy fill-in, but he can chip in a defensive stat or two and is averaging nearly one 3-point make per game.

N/A

D. Favors - PF

UTA

Derrick Favors (knee) saw 15 minutes off the bench on Sunday, recording three points, one rebound, one assist, two steals and one block in a win over the Nuggets.

Favors can only be considered a low-end, shot-blocking specialist in 20-team leagues, but as long as Rudy Gobert is healthy, Favors won't be worth rostering in the vast majority of leagues. Gobert double-doubles in the win with 15 points (4-of-5 FG, 7-of-13 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one turnover in 33 minutes.

N/A

W. Barton - SG

DEN

Will Barton hit 1-of-6 shots and 0-of-3 3-pointers for two points, four assists, five rebounds, no steals, and a block with one turnover in a loss to the Jazz.

Barton’s two-game hot streak, where he scored 49 points on 14-of-29 shooting, came to a close, as he scored just two points in a game Denver desperately needed a third scorer in. Barton was a non-factor all night. The Nuggets haven’t been the same this season, with each wing struggling to find his footing on a consistent basis. It's been a disappointing start for Barton's fantasy managers.

B. Bogdanovic - SF

UTA

Bojan Bogdanovic hit 6-of-13 shots for 17 points, five triples, three boards, three assists and four turnovers in 34 minutes on Sunday.

Bogdanovic got off to a quick start in this one, scoring five points in the first four minutes of play and this was his third straight game hitting double-figures in the scoring department with multiple triples. He was awful to begin the season, but Bojan's been on a heater over the past three, so hopefully, this is a sign that he’s ready to start rolling.

J. Clarkson - SG

UTA

Jordan Clarkson came off the bench for 23 points (9-of-13 FG, 1-of-1 FT), four triples, three rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one turnover across 30 minutes in Sunday's win over Denver.

Clarkson went 6-of-17 from the field his last time out, but he was back to his efficient scoring ways tonight, only missing twice through the first half of action — and he hit plenty of circus shots in this one. He’s easily having the best year of his career operating in a Sixth Man role for Utah with career-highs in points (17.1), triples (2.9), boards (4.8) and field goal percentage (48.4), which has him flirting with top-70 value on the season and he has to be an early frontrunner for the Sixth Man of the Year award.

N. Jokic - C

DEN

Nikola Jokic hit 14-of-23 shots, 3-of-6 3-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws for 35 points, nine assists, 14 rebounds, two steals, and a block with six turnovers in a loss to the Jazz.

The top player in 9-cat leagues was, you guessed it, really dang good, nearly triple-doubling on great shooting. The six turnovers sting, but that's been a season-long issue he more than makes up for in every other stat category. Jokic hardly got any help from his supporting cast on Sunday, though, as has been the case all year. The Nuggets are now below .500. and need Michael Porter Jr. back soon.

D. Mitchell - SG

UTA

Donovan Mitchell went 7-of-20 from the field and 4-of-4 from the line for 18 points, seven assists, three boards, one steal, two blocks and four turnovers across 38 minutes in Sunday's win over the Nuggets.

Mitchell threw down an impressive dunk to start the game, but he then went on to brick his next nine attempts and finished the game 0-of-7 from distance. He was getting good looks at the rim and from 3-point territory, but he just couldn't get his shot to drop — although he still came through with some clutch buckets late in the game. We’d expect a more efficient effort on Tuesday vs. the Pelicans.

J. Murray - PG

DEN

Jamal Murray hit 11-of-27 shots, 4-of-11 3-pointers and 4-of-5 free throws for 30 points, four assists, five rebounds, and a block with no turnovers in a loss to the Jazz.

Murray said on Saturday that his elbow bothered him on every shot, but that wasn't evident in the first half at all. He sunk 9-of-17 shots and had Denver rolling. The second half was a different story, though, as he made just two shots out of 11 tries, and the Nuggets fell by two possessions. Keep an eye on what Murray says about his health going forward.

N/A

M. Conley - PG

UTA

Mike Conley produced 14 points (6-of-13 FG, 0-of-4 FT), eight assists, two triples, three rebounds, one steal and one turnover across 31 minutes in Sunday's 109-105 win over the Nuggets.

Conley opened the game with three straight makes, including a deep-3 from logo-territory after he had his toe on the line for his first 3-point attempt, and he did an excellent job of running the offense. Conley struggled in the pick-and-roll with Rudy Gobert last season, as he spent the first 12 years of his career playing with non-athletic bigs in Memphis who preferred to pop, but he’s made the necessary adjustments and has developed a nice two-man game with Rudy. After a disastrous introductory season in Utah, Conley has been a steady top-50 guy this season.
