G. Niang - PF

UTA

Georges Niang caught fire in 16 minutes on Monday and hit a career-high 7-of-7 3-pointers (the only shots he took) for a season-high 21 points, three rebounds and one assist in an easy win over the Hornets.

If you happened to roll the dice on Niang in DFS he came through in a big way with what was probably the greatest 16 minutes of basketball in his life. He didn't even score in his previous game and has scored in single digits in all but six games this season. This has fluke written all over it, but it was cool to see his teammates douse him in water after his big game. He belongs on the waiver wire in most leagues. Niang, Joe Ingles, Royce O'Neale, Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson all hit multiple 3-pointers tonight to help the Jazz set a franchise record of 28 3-pointers made in a game.

D. Bembry - SF

TOR

DeAndre' Bembry notched a season-high 13 points vs. the Rockets on Friday with four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes.

Don't go chasing after this line because Bembry's production has left a lot to be desired and he saw a bump in minutes with Pascal Siakam registering an inconclusive COVID-19 test. If Siakam returns Sunday, Bembry will be a fantasy afterthought.

N. Powell - SG

TOR

Norman Powell led the Raptors to a 122-111 win over Houston on Friday, dropping 30 points (10-of-15 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs) with three rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and four triples in 33 minutes.

Powell’s fantasy managers are loving life these days, as he’s making it impossible for Nick Nurse to take him out of the starting lineup. Over the last month, Powell is sitting inside the top-40 for 9-cat leagues, averaging 21.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.8 triples in 33 minutes. Toronto’s small-ball lineups are thriving and Powell’s play on both ends has been one of the main reasons why.

C. Boucher - C

TOR

Chris Boucher made the second start of his career on Friday vs. Houston, but had a quiet evening with seven points (2-of-8 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 28 minutes.

He wasn’t much better in his previous start either, so he may be better suited for the second unit where he can be a bit more aggressive. Pascal Siakam (health and safety protocols) sat this one out due to an inconclusive test, but could be back on Sunday vs. the Bulls if he tests negative. Poor game aside, it would be unfair to complain about Boucher as he’s already leaving his ADP in the dust with top-40 9-cat numbers in just 23 minutes per game.

K. Lowry - PG

TOR

Kyle Lowry triple-doubled in a 122-111 win over Houston on Friday, scoring 20 points (6-of-9 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs) with 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, one block and four triples in 33 minutes.

The Raptors were missing most of their coaching staff tonight due to COVID-19 protocols but Lowry put the team on his back yet again after scoring 24 points with seven boards, eight dimes, four triples and two steals in his previous game. Lowry’s strong play isn’t the reason he’s been generating headlines though, as Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the 76ers, Heat and Clippers are possible trade destinations. However, Lowry’s agent went on the radio Friday to refute those claims, adding that he called team president Masai Ujiri to let him know that the rumors weren’t coming from his camp. Trade rumors are inevitable with Lowry on an expiring deal, but the chances of a move seems slim at this point.

P. Washington - PF

CHA

P.J. Washington will start at center vs. the Warriors on Friday.

Cody Zeller (hip) is out, so the Hornets will go small here. With James Wiseman coming off the bench for Golden State, maybe the Hornets want Bismack Biyombo to match up with him. Cody Martin will slide into the starting lineup, but is only a streaming option in very deep leagues.

Andre Roberson will sign a 10-day contract with the Nets.

Iman Shumpert will also get a 10-day deal. With Kevin Durant (hamstring) still on the shelf, Roberson and Shumpert will simply provide emergency depth and are not on the fantasy radar.

C. Zeller - C

CHA

Cody Zeller (left hip contusion) has officially been ruled out for Friday vs. the Warriors.

He was downgraded from questionable to doubtful this afternoon, but coach James Borrego doesn't expect it to be a long-term issue. "I hope to get him back against Sacramento [on Sunday]," he said. "I don't see this as a lingering thing." Bismack Biyombo could get a start and would be a low-end stream for boards, blocks and FG% with P.J. Washington also getting a bump in value.

D. Schroder - PG

Dennis Schroder (COVID-protocol) will start on Friday vs. the Blazers.

He was previously listed as probable so this was the expectation. Schroder will be returning from a four-game absence but it's unclear if he will have any restrictions in his first game back.

J. Crowder - PF

PHX

Jae Crowder will start on Friday with Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges and DeAndre Ayton.

Crowder will replace Frank Kaminsky as the starting four as Monty Williams looks to match up with the Bulls small-ball lineup that features Wendell Carter Jr. as the only true big man. Crowder is coming off a 12/5/1/1/2 performance on Wednesday vs. the Hornets.

J. Grant - SF

Pistons forward Jerami Grant will play on Friday night vs. the Sacramento Kings.

He was given the night off on Wednesday against the Pelicans to rest as he had been logging heavy minutes over the past month. But he’s back tonight and will look to continue his stellar season in which he’s produced top-35 numbers in 9-cat. Grant’s return will send Sekou Doumbouya back to the bench.

Jonas Valanciunas (sore left thigh) will play vs. the Clippers on Friday.

JV warmed up without incident and should get his usual 26-30 minute workload, so deploy him as usual. The Clippers were destroyed in the paint on Thursday, with JV posting 16 points and 15 boards, so it projects as a favorable matchup.
