Mark Sears has 17 points, six dimes vs. Raptors

Mark Sears

DEN Guard #19

Player Stats

Mark Sears finished Sunday’s win over the Raptors with 17 points (2-of-11 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), one rebound, six assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

Despite inefficient shooting, the unrestricted free agent logged another solid overall performance, following Friday’s 26 points with 17 points and six assists on Sunday. He put together some quality production during the Las Vegas Summer League, which could help his chances of landing on an NBA roster beyond the offseason. Still, he likely won’t have an impact this season in regards to fantasy basketball.

Mark Sears

DEN Guard #19

Mark Sears recorded 26 points (8-of-14 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), four assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Released by the Bucks in January after joining them on a two-way deal last summer, Sears is playing with the Nuggets as an unrestricted free agent. And with Denver already having KJ Simpson on a two-way deal, the former Alabama standout is likely competing for an Exhibit 10 contract if he’s to remain with the franchise in the fall. Sears put up good scoring numbers on Thursday, shooting over 50 percent from the field, but this does not change his fantasy outlook for next season.

FA Guard #19

HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reports the Bucks have waived Mark Sears.

Milwaukee signed Sears to a two-way deal right after he went undrafted in June. He has made a few appearances for the Bucks this year, but he has spent most of his time in the G League. He’ll be able to sign a two-way deal with a new team, but he’ll continue to suit up in the G League regardless.

MIL Point Guard

Bucks signed PG Mark Sears to a two-way contract.

After two seasons at Ohio, Sears transferred to Alabama and flourished under head coach Nate Oates. A two-time All-American, the 6-foot point guard averaged 18.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.4 three-pointers per game in 2024-25. Sears shot 40.3 percent from the field, a decrease of 10 percentage points compared to the 2023-24 season, and his effective field goal percentage dropped by 11 percentage points to 49.4. Along with his size, the decrease in efficiency is a concern. However, Sears can be a factor offensively, especially when put in positions where he can play downhill. While Sears is on a two-way deal, he joins a Bucks team that needs depth at the point guard position due to Damian Lillard’s Achilles tendon rupture. That isn’t enough to make the rookie a viable option in fantasy drafts, but he’ll be worth watching.

Yaxel Lendeborg notched 18 points (4-of-11 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), 13 rebounds, six assists, three steals and one three-pointer in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies.

After a much-discussed debut in the Warriors’ loss to the Lakers on Wednesday, Lendeborg recorded his first career double-double on Friday. The rookie’s final stat line lacked only a blocked shot, but he has all the makings of a player who will offer consistent value in fantasy basketball. Stephen Curry (ankle) is not expected to play in Saturday’s game against the Suns, and Brandin Podziemski (back) has already been ruled out. If Lendeborg is sitting on your league’s waiver wire, don’t hesitate to pick him up.

Brandin Podziemski (head) accounted for 18 points (7-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies.

Podziemski entered Friday’s game dealing with a sore lower back that kept him out of Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers. It didn’t help matters that he took an inadvertent forearm from Grizzlies center Zach Edey to the head early in the first quarter. Podziemski returned later in the period after a trip to the locker room and logged 33 minutes overall. He finished with a complete stat line, but this is it for Podz in Week 1. After Friday’s defeat, he said he would not play in Saturday’s game against the Suns.

Graham Ike produced 10 points (4-of-7 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies.

After starting Draymond Green at center in Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr opted against that approach on Friday. As a result, Ike made his first NBA start. The rookie from Gonzaga shot reasonably well, but he offered little value beyond points and three-pointers. The Warriors visit Phoenix on Saturday, and Ike may play more, as Al Horford hasn’t played both games of back-to-backs in a few years.

Stephen Curry tallied 24 points (5-of-15 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies.

Curry led the Warriors in scoring on Friday, but he shot a frigid 5-of-15 from the field. The assists were solid, but this was not the best night to have the Warriors star in most fantasy lineups. After the game, Curry said he “probably” won’t play against the Suns on Saturday, bad news for fantasy managers hoping for a bounce-back effort.

GG Jackson finished Friday’s win over the Warriors with two points (1-of-6 FGs), four rebounds and one assist.

With Cedric Coward (wrist) unavailable, Jackson moved into the starting lineup on Friday. Unfortunately for those who streamed him, GG offered little value as a spot starter. He picked up four fouls in 10 first-half minutes, and Kris Murray (three rebounds, one assist, and one block) would start the third quarter. Whether or not Jackson gets another opportunity on Sunday against the Kings depends on Coward’s health, but he may not be worth the streaming risk in most leagues.

Isaiah Stewart notched four points (2-of-3 FGs), two rebounds and one steal in Friday’s win over the Warriors.

Stewart made his official Grizzlies debut on Friday, playing most of his minutes when starting center Zach Edey (8/10/3/1/2) was not on the floor. Unfortunately, Beef Stew picked up four fouls in the first half, including three in the first quarter, which limited him to 16 minutes. It remains to be seen what his role will look like once the ankle is no longer a concern, but Stewart isn’t someone worth rostering in most redraft leagues just yet.

Jaylen Wells recorded 17 points (5-of-9 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and four three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Warriors.

After recording 12 points and four steals in Wednesday’s season-opening win over the Jazz, Wells was more productive offensively against the Warriors. He scored an efficient 17 points, a number he met or exceeded in 18 of 69 appearances last season. Wells still isn’t at the point where he’s a must-roster player, but he should have more room to produce, especially on nights when Cedric Coward (wrist) doesn’t play.

Ty Jerome accounted for 28 points (11-of-22 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Warriors.

After scoring 45 points in Wednesday’s opener, Jerome appeared to be coming down to earth in the first half of Friday’s game. However, after scoring eight first-half points on 3-of-7 shooting, the Grizzlies point guard put up 14 points in the third quarter. Jerome and the Grizzlies ripped off a 17-0 run in the fourth to move to 2-0 on the season, getting their four-game road trip off to a good start.

Cameron Boozer finished Friday’s win over the Warriors with 25 points (6-of-13 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), 13 rebounds, six assists, two steals and four three-pointers.

After struggling with his shot in his NBA debut on Wednesday, Boozer had a much better night against the Warriors. The rookie forward made four of his first five three-point attempts and scored 14 points in the first half. By the end of the night, Boozer had made franchise history, becoming the second-youngest Grizzly to record a double-double. Memphis ends its Week 1 with a game against the Kings on Sunday.

Darius Garland finished Friday’s loss to the Lakers with 26 points (9-of-19 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six assists, one steal and four three-pointers.

The star guards in this matchup all seemed to struggle with turnovers. Garland racked up nine, while the Lakers’ Luka Dončić (11) and Austin Reaves (six) combined for 17. Garland had a solid night shooting the basketball, but nine-cat managers took a hit because of the turnovers. He’ll look to finish Week 1 on a high note when the Clippers visit the Thunder on Sunday.
