Luka Dončić

LAL Forward-Guard #77

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Luka Dončić accounted for 44 points (14-of-25 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), nine rebounds, five assists, three steals, two blocks and seven three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Pacers.

With no LeBron James and Austin Reaves in foul trouble, Dončić shouldered even more of the workload on Friday. He came out hot, scoring 22 points in the first quarter. Dončić put up another 15 in the third and did not have to play at all in the fourth quarter. Given how much the Lakers rely on their star point guard, any opportunities to get additional rest are welcome. Also of note, Dončić did not pick up a technical foul, as he’s one away from a mandatory one-game suspension. The Lakers host the Knicks on Sunday in their final game of Week 19.
Kawhi Leonard

LAC Forward #2

Kawhi Leonard finished Friday’s loss to the Spurs with 30 points (10-of-20 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and one three-pointer.

Leonard has scored at least 30 points in three of the seven games that he’s played since the All-Star break. Unfortunately for him and the Clippers, Friday’s performance wasn’t enough to keep the team from letting a 25-point lead slip away. That is of little concern to fantasy managers, who had to be pleased with Leonard’s final stat line. The Clippers play one more game in Week 19, visiting the Grizzlies on Saturday.
Nikola Jokić

DEN Center #15

Nikola Jokić produced 38 points (14-of-21 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Friday’s loss to the Knicks.

Jokić put up a gaudy points tally against the Knicks, who were able to limit his influence as a rebounder and playmaker. A major issue for The Joker and his teammates was three-point shooting, as the Nuggets shot 8-of-40 on the night. Fantasy managers who have Jokić on their rosters are likely pleased by the output, even if he missed out on a triple-double.
Jalen Brunson

NYK Guard #11

Jalen Brunson tallied nine points (3-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, 15 assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday’s win over the Nuggets.

Brunson was the one Knicks starter who could not get going offensively on Friday, opening the game 1-of-10 from the field. The nine points were the fewest in a game for the point guard since February 11, when Brunson scored eight in a blowout win over the 76ers. The good news for fantasy managers is that Brunson recorded 15 assists against the Nuggets. He’s now recorded 10 or more assists in three consecutive games, tied for the longest streak in his career.
OG Anunoby

NYK Forward-Guard #8

OG Anunoby amassed 34 points (11-of-17 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, four steals, one block and six three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Nuggets.

The Knicks have won their last three games in Denver by at least 30 points, and Anunoby’s gone off in two of them. Having dropped a career-high 40 on November 25, 2024, he scored 34 on excellent percentages on Friday. Anunoby shot 6-of-11 from beyond the arc, and his complete stat line included five assists and four steals. With the Knicks winning 142-103, OG’s night concluded with 9:03 remaining in the fourth quarter. The Knicks visit the Lakers on Sunday to end Week 19.
Rui Hachimura

LAL Forward #28

Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, Marcus Smart, Rui Hachimura and Jaxson Hayes will start Friday’s game against the Pacers.

The Lakers won’t have LeBron James (elbow, foot) or Deandre Ayton (knee) for Friday’s game. Hachimura and Hayes move into the starting lineup, and both players are worth streaming in deeper fantasy leagues due to the Lakers’ lack of frontcourt depth.
Andrew Nembhard

IND Guard-Forward #2

Andrew Nembhard (back, neck) is available for Friday’s game against the Lakers.

Nembhard is good to go after being listed as probable on the Pacers’ initial injury report. He was limited to 24 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers, a game that got out of hand during the third quarter. He may be able to play a bit more if the Pacers keep things close against the Lakers.
Pascal Siakam

IND Forward #43

Pascal Siakam (wrist) is available for Friday’s game against the Lakers.

As expected, Siamak is good to go after initially being listed as probable for Friday’s game. He logged 30 minutes in Wednesday’s blowout loss to the Clippers and should take on a similar workload against the Lakers.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg tallied 16 points (7-of-23 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in Friday’s loss to the Celtics.

A native of Newport, Maine, Boston will be the closest to his hometown that Flagg gets to play. While Jayson Tatum’s return to the Celtics was the biggest headline, many made the trip south to watch their native son play. Flagg didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, but fantasy managers did receive good production in the rebound and assist categories. Dallas plays one more game in Week 19, visiting the Raptors on Sunday.
Jaylen Brown

BOS Guard-Forward #7

Jaylen Brown accumulated 24 points (9-of-17 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Mavericks.

With Jayston Tatum making his season debut on Friday, the entire Celtics rotation had to work through some things early on. Brown and the other starters may have been a bit too deferential early on, but everyone got more comfortable as the game progressed. Brown finished with a team-high 24 points while shooting over 50 percent from the field and recording an excellent all-around stat line. While he played at an MVP level while Tatum was out, getting his partner in crime back could give Brown’s efficiency a boost.
