Murphy with nine points, six rebounds against Jazz

With no Keyonte George, Peterson made his first start at point guard for the Jazz on Tuesday. While he committed five turnovers and ultimately fouled out, this was a good night overall for the rookie. Peterson scored efficiently and dished out a few assists in his 31 minutes. His fantasy ceiling should be raised slightly for as long as George remains sidelined.

Larsson has started Miami’s last two games, recording solid stat lines in each. The question worth considering is whether this move will stick for the long haul, or only as long as it takes Andrew Wiggins to find his offensive form. Against the Jazz, Wiggins scored 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting but did not record any other stats. Even with his reserve role at the start of the season, Larsson has been the superior fantasy option.

The dilemma for fantasy managers rostering Mitchell: sell high or hold? “Off Night” has been highly productive for the Heat this season, and Miami’s lack of depth at point guard means he’ll play heavy minutes. However, those who aren’t convinced Mitchell can play at this level for a full season should strongly consider looking into what he could fetch in a trade. Mitchell finished Tuesday’s victory two assists shy of a double-double, making up for the low field-goal percentage.

Initially questionable for Tuesday’s game with a sprained right wrist, Antetokounmpo got up 21 shots against the Jazz. He scored 15 points in each half, shooting 7-of-14 from the field in the second half. Giannis’ dominant performance helped offset Bam Adebayo’s (11/8/4/4/2) 1-of-8 shooting from the field. The Heat head home, with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back against the Cavaliers and Pistons up next.

While not a player who absolutely has to be rostered in 12-team leagues, Jones has been productive enough to provide reliable deep-league value. Against the Suns, his final stat line lacked only an assist, and he’s now shooting 17-of-36 from beyond the arc. Jones would help his fantasy value if he could consistently provide steals; six of his 10 steals this season have been recorded in two games.

Hachimura shot 3-of-5 from beyond the arc on Tuesday, and the two steals matched his season high. Unfortunately, his production outside of points and rebounds remains limited, and the Clippers forward is shooting below 40 percent from the field. Hachimura’s status as a starter is why he’s rostered in 62 percent of Yahoo leagues, but that number may decrease once Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is cleared to play.

Garland and the Clippers had a tough night in Phoenix, so much so that none of the starters played in the fourth quarter. For those willing to punt turnovers, Garland has provided good fantasy value this season. He and the Clippers will look to bounce back on Friday when they host the Thunder.

Gillespie was one of five Suns reserves to finish Tuesday’s 133-110 victory in double figures. In addition to shooting 4-of-9 from three, he recorded a team-high eight assists. While coming off the bench limits Gillespie’s fantasy ceiling, Phoenix’s lack of point guards makes him a player worth rostering in deep leagues.
