R. Jackson - PG

LAC

Reggie Jackson played 39 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Hawks, posting a line of 20 points (8-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists, two steals, one block and two 3-pointers.

With Patrick Beverley (knee), Kawhi Leonard and Paul George (health and safety protocols) all not even making the trip east, Jackson was tabbed to make a spot start. And he made the most of his opportunity, shooting 50% from the field while filling the stat sheet. The Clippers don’t play again until Friday in Orlando, and depending upon what happens with Beverley (Leonard and George will miss at least one week), Jackson would be a very good streaming option. He’s currently rostered in just 7% of Yahoo leagues.

D. Bertans - PF

WAS

Davis Bertans had the hot hand on Saturday vs. the Wolves, netting 19 points, four rebounds and two steals in just 20 minutes off the bench.

After being questionable coming into tonight's contest, the 'Latvian Laser' shot 6-of-13 from the floor and made five 3-pointers in the Wizards 128-112 win. It was a good game for the stretch four who's been up-and-down over the past few weeks, but it was a good bounce-back showing after missing Thursday's game.

G. Mathews - SG

WAS

Garrison Mathews had it going on Saturday night, scoring 18 points and grabbing nine rebounds in just 28 minutes.

Matthews went 4-of-6 from the floor with three 3-pointers and a flawless 7-of-7 from the line. It was his first time scoring in double figures since Feb. 12 after scoring no more than eight points in seven consecutive games. If he can build off this performance, hes' worth a look in deep leagues, but until then, it's safe to leave him on the shelf.

S. Milton - SG

PHI

Shake Milton was responsible for 11 points (3-of-8 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks in 32 minutes Saturday vs. the Cavaliers.

Milton has hit double figures in seven of the eight games that he’s appeared in this month, with the line exception being a nine-point effort against the Raptors on February 21. After a good start to the season Milton’s fantasy value has slipped, with the 76ers’ sixth man ranking outside of the top-200 over the last month. He remains a key figure in Philadelphia’s rotation, so Milton will have opportunities to turn it around in the second half of the season.

F. Korkmaz - SG

PHI

Furkan Korkmaz played 20 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers, accounting for eight points (3-of-9 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, one assist and one 3-pointer.

Korkmaz replaced the injured Tobias Harris (knee) in the starting lineup, and he struggled mightily for much of the night. Korkmaz’s first-half struggles resulted in Doc Rivers going with Mike Scott to begin the second half. Scott played 19 minutes off the bench, making both of his field goal attempts and finishing with five points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one 3-pointer. Philadelphia returns to action Monday night against the Pacers, and given Korkmaz’s struggles it remains to be seen if he gets another shot at starting in that one. Fantasy managers may be best served to leave Korkmaz and Scott alone.

B. Simmons - PG

PHI

Ben Simmons tallied 24 points (11-of-17 FGs), 1-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 41 minutes Saturday vs. the Cavaliers.

While Simmons did manage to put up some good numbers, he was also responsible for a team-high seven turnovers on the night. And that statistical category is one reason why he still sits just outside of the top-50 in 9-cat. Simmons is averaging 3.3 turnovers per game for the season, and at first glance that isn’t a terrible number. But when combined with Simmons’ lack of 3-point production, as Saturday’s attempt was his first in a month, his fantasy value suffers.

J. Embiid - C

PHI

Joel Embiid (sprained left ankle) shot 13-of-22 from the field and 14-of-16 from the foul line in Saturday’s overtime loss to the Cavaliers, finishing with 42 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, one steal, two blocks and two 3-pointers in 40 minutes.

Embiid tweaked his ankle just before the game’s first media timeout, but that didn’t keep the All-Star starter from taking on his usual workload. By the time his night was over, Embiid had his fourth game of 40 points or more this season. So long as he stays healthy, Embiid will rank among the top players in fantasy basketball (and the NBA in general).

N/A

B. Beal - SG

WAS

Bradley Beal torched the Wolves for 34 points, eight rebounds, six assists and a steal in the Wizards' 128-11 victory.

He made 12 of his 23 field-goal attempts, 2-of-6 3-pointers and 8-of-8 free throws as Washington picked up its second straight win. Beal now has 67 points in his last two games and is a perfect 19-of-19 from the line, too. It's blasphemous that he wasn't an All-Star last year, but he's on a mission this season and his tremendous play is translating to W's as well.

R. Westbrook - PG

WAS

Russell Westbrook picked up his 10th triple-double of the season on Sunday, recording 19 points, 14 boards, 12 assists and two steals in the win.

He struggled with his shot a bit, going 7-of-19 from the floor, 0-of-2 from the perimeter and an egregious 5-of-10 at the charity stripe. Russ also had five turnovers for the second game in a row, and for those in categories leagues, those hurt along with the bad field-goal and free-throw percentages. But for our points players, take that triple-double to the bank and don't look back. Brodie is balling right now.

N. Reid - C

MIN

Naz Reid played 18 minutes off the bench on Saturday, scoring 17 points while adding a rebound, three assists, a steal and a block.

The Wolves were down big and Reid made the most of his time, hitting 8-of-12 shots in less than 20 minutes. He missed all three of his 3-pointers and had four fouls, too, and despite a solid outing, he might not pay major fantasy dividends behind Karl-Anthony Towns.

K. Towns - C

MIN

Karl-Anthony Towns registered 23 points, 11 boards, five assists and three blocks in the Wolves' 128-112 loss to the Wizards on Saturday.

KAT hit 7-of-19 field goals, 2-of-6 threes and 7-of-9 freebies in 32 minutes as the Wolves dropped their seventh consecutive game. He's played well over the past of weeks, ranking 13th in 9-cat leagues, but he could surely his teammate and close friend D'Angelo Russell (knee) in the lineup alongside him. This Wolves losing streak could get worse, but KAT should continue to see a high usage rate and volume of shots.

D. Wade - PF

CLE

Dean Wade posted a line of six points (1-of-4 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, one assist and one 3-pointer in Saturday’s win over the 76ers.

Wade made another start for the injured Taurean Prince, and while he didn’t offer much offensively the second-year forward doubled his career-high in rebounds. There isn’t much reason to roster Wade, but all things considered this was a good night for him.

J. Allen - PF

CLE

Jarrett Allen racked up 14 points (5-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one 3-pointer in 37 minutes Saturday vs. the 76ers.

Allen has now posted a double-double in seven straight and eight of his last nine games, grabbing 14 rebounds or more in four of those performances. Since being moved into the starting lineup he’s been a fantasy standout, providing top-50 value in 9-cat formats. And over the last two weeks, Allen has been a top-25 player in both 8- and 9-cat formats. For some reason, he’s rostered in just 89% of Yahoo leagues. That number should be considerably higher.
