Darius Garland

LAC Guard #10

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Darius Garland accumulated 16 points (5-of-14 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, eight assists and one three-pointer in Monday’s loss to the Raptors.

Garland’s efficiency remains an issue for fantasy managers. In addition to the poor shooting, he committed seven turnovers against the Raptors. Four of those turnovers occurred in the fourth quarter, as the Clippers were outscored 47-27 and surrendered a 13-point lead. Some may view this as a good “buy low” opportunity, but Garland has committed at least five turnovers in five of the Clippers’ first seven games.
Max Strus

LAC Guard-Forward #31

Max Strus (foot) posted 11 points (3-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Raptors.

Nearly a month after injuring his foot during a preseason game, Strus made his Clippers debut on Monday. Unsurprisingly, he was a bit rusty offensively, but Strus made contributions on both ends of the floor. He played 23 minutes, a number that will increase as any restrictions are lifted. Fantasy managers in 12-team leagues can hold off on adding Strus for now, but he may be worth picking up soon.
Isaiah Jackson

LAC Forward #23

Isaiah Jackson finished Monday’s loss to the Raptors with 19 points (9-of-11 FGs), eight rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer.

Inconsistent as a starter in the Clippers’ first six games, Jackson was moved to the bench on Monday. The decision could have been matchup-based, but Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue stuck with Brook Lopez (12/6/1/1/1 with one three-pointer) as the starting center after Toronto ruled out Jakob Poeltl. Jackson didn’t let the demotion get him down, as he recorded a season-high point total and matched his previous high in rebounds. Simply put, even if Jackson continues to come off the bench, those rostering him shouldn’t throw in the towel.
Kobe Sanders

LAC Guard #4

Kobe Sanders produced 26 points (8-of-17 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one block and five three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Raptors.

The Clippers didn’t have Derrick Jones Jr. or Rui Hachimura for Monday’s game, so Sanders made his second start of the season. The second-year wing had the best night of his NBA career, dropping a career-high 26 points. Sanders scored 13 points in both halves, but he may have run out of steam late. Shooting 1-of-5 from the field, Sanders scored five points in the fourth quarter, and the Clippers shot 30.4 percent as a team. That’s how a team goes from leading by 13 to losing by seven.
Scottie Barnes

TOR Forward-Guard #4

Scottie Barnes accumulated 22 points (7-of-15 FGs, 8-of-15 FTs), 15 rebounds, eight assists and two steals in Monday’s win over the Clippers.

Barnes appeared to aggravate his sore left hip during the third quarter, but he returned to the game after some time on the bench. And it’s a good thing he did, as the Raptors forward was outstanding in the fourth quarter. Barnes recorded 15 points, eight rebounds, one assist and two steals in the quarter, helping the Raptors erase a 13-point deficit to win by seven. Barnes struggled at the foul line, but that was his only negative on his final stat line.
Collin Murray-Boyles

TOR Forward #30

Collin Murray-Boyles amassed 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, two blocks and one three-pointer in Monday’s win over the Clippers.

With Jakob Poeltl (shoulder) out for a second straight game, Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic gave Murray-Boyles his first start of the season. The second-year forward capitalized on the opportunity, finishing two points shy of his career high. Add in the rebounds and blocks, and this was a good night for fantasy managers rostering Murray-Boyles. Trayce Jackson-Davis, who was ineffective as a starter on Sunday, played just two minutes against the Clippers.
Immanuel Quickley

TOR Guard #5

Immanuel Quickley finished Monday’s win over the Clippers with 27 points (8-of-13 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

The Raptors entered the third quarter trailing by 13, but thanks to the tandem of Quickley and Scottie Barnes, they managed to walk down the Clippers and win by seven. Quickley and Barnes scored 29 of Toronto’s 47 points in the quarter, with Quickley providing 14. It’s early, but IQ has been close to a top-50 player in nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo ADP by a comfortable margin.
RJ Barrett

TOR Forward-Guard #9

RJ Barrett tallied 26 points (10-of-19 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Clippers.

Barrett scored 16 points in the first half of Monday’s game, shooting 7-of-9 from the field. The overall stat line was good, except for one category: free-throw percentage. Barrett is shooting a career-worst 58.8 percent from the charity stripe this season, a number that has done his category league value no favors. That said, Barrett is a career 69.5 percent shooter, so it may not be too surprising that he’s started slowly in that regard.
Dillon Brooks

PHX Guard-Forward #3

Dillon Brooks amassed 18 points (5-of-8 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Warriors.

Brooks received a technical foul early in the third quarter that may have been more about “reputation” than anything he did in the situation that led to Draymond Green’s ejection. It isn’t a big deal right now, but the Suns getting that technical foul overturned (if they appeal it) would give Brooks a little more room later in the season. As for his performance against the Warriors, “The Villain” didn’t have any defensive stats, but the points, rebounds, assists, three-pointers and percentages were solid.
Miles Bridges

PHX Forward #22

Miles Bridges accounted for 21 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, four steals, one block and three three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Warriors.

Bridges has scored at least 21 points in back-to-back games and shot the ball well on Monday. Compared to his final season with the Hornets, Bridges is averaging more rebounds, steals and blocks, while his scoring average is nearly the same (17.0 compared to 17.1 last season). Some fantasy managers may consider selling high, but Bridges’ current averages are sustainable.
