Dunks galore! Zion Williamson capped off the win over Phoenix with a 360 windmill. Luka Dončić and Spencer Dinwiddie took turns dunking on the Bucks. Rudy Gobert had the chance to dunk when the game was already over but chose to just lay it up, which may have been more disrespectful than anything else that happened. On top of the dunks, Sacramento beat Cleveland by finishing the game on a 19-0 run, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant outdueled Trae Young, and the 76ers-Lakers battle ended up being a lot closer than it should’ve been.

Jalen Duren- 15% rostered in Yahoo! leagues
Yes, it took way too long. But Duren is now starting over Marvin Bagley. He has proven he can block shots, though he didn’t get any in this game. Still, he was able to record a double-double against Steven Adams and Jaren Jackson Jr. in the frontcourt. This wasn’t injury-related, so he should be here to stay. He’ll be a double-double machine in an increased role.
Isaiah Hartenstein- 28%
With Obi Toppin out at least 2-3 weeks, the Knicks don’t really have another option to backup Julius Randle. Hartenstein was already the backup center, and Tom Thibodeau did say that he likes to play RJ Barrett at power forward. Yet, there was a point in this game that Thibs experimented with Hartenstein and Jericho Sims in the frontcourt. Hartenstein was able to contribute 11 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in this game.
Miles McBride- less than 1%
It seemed like the backup perimeter options for New York would result in a controversy, but Tom Thibodeau has answered any questions. No Cam Reddish. No Derrick Rose. It’ll be Immanuel Quickley and Deuce McBride off the bench. McBride had six assists in their last game and had two steals and two triples in this game. He’s more of a deep league option, but he should have a solid role moving forward.
T.J. Warren- 13%
The last time Warren played a full season, he nearly posted top-40 value. He won’t be able to do that on this stacked Brooklyn team, but he finished with a 14/2/3/2 line against Atlanta on Friday while playing a season-high 21 minutes. If he can play 25 minutes per game when he’s healthy, he’ll be more than worth a roster spot.

Jordan Goodwin- 3%
Without Will Barton and Bradley Beal in the lineup, Goodwin put up career-highs of both points and steals off the bench. Beal should miss at least a couple more, though Barton could return for their next game. Still, Goodwin has more than earned his role on this team. He has posted 11th round value this season despite his role fluctuating. If he can continue to see minutes in the 20’s (he played 34 on Friday), he should be worth a pickup.
Jose Alvarado- 25%
Grand Theft Alvarado was posting solid numbers when C.J. McCollum was out, but he’s proven that he’ll continue to do so despite coming off the bench again. He scored 20 on Friday after scoring 38 two games ago. And of course, the steals are always there.
Kyle Anderson- 30%
Slo Mo is the starter with Karl-Anthony Towns out, and he proved why he’s valuable to fantasy managers on Friday. He posted a 15/7/12/2/1 line, which featured a career-high in assists. He isn’t widely available, but he should be rostered in more leagues than he currently is.
