Jaylin Williams (back) out again vs. Clippers

Though Gillespie has played well, he hasn’t been as impactful so far this season due to his role being limited. This was his fourth game scoring in double figures this season and his second straight. If he were to see his role expand for any reason, Gillespie would become a must-roster player. For now, he’s just worth keeping an eye on.

After scoring just 17 points in Tuesday’s win, which was a game he only played 29 minutes due to the lopsided score, Booker was able to get back on track in this one. He matched his season high for both steals and three-pointers in the win while also scoring at least 30 points for the fifth time this season. He has been excellent this season and will look to stay hot against the Lakers on Sunday to wrap up the week.

It has taken White some time to get going after missing the start of the year, and he’s still on a minutes restriction, but he was able to have his highest scoring performance of the season in this game. Despite playing less than 20 minutes, White led Charlotte in scoring in what was his best game of the season. Hopefully his role will increase as the season progresses, but he is already starting to tick up his production.

Suiting up for the first time this season after missing the start of the year with a hamstring strain, Williams was able to make an impact immediately. Despite playing just 16 minutes, Williams was able to space the floor and score in double figures. They also outscored the Suns by 11 points when he was on the floor, which was the best mark on the team by far. Williams isn’t a standard-league option, but he is a solid depth piece for Charlotte.

It has been a rough start to Anderson’s career, but he was able to get some offense going in this one. He set a new career high for scoring, and he has knocked down three triples in two straight games. One of the best shooters in the draft, it is good to see Anderson start to get things going on offense. He isn’t worth rostering in redraft leagues, but he is worth stashing in dynasty formats.

Hyland had his best game of the season in what ended up being a blowout win for Minnesota. He set season highs for both points and three-pointers while matching his season high for assists. Hyland has been a solid reserve for the Wolves this season, though the production hasn’t come consistently. Despite a fantastic performance, he isn’t worth adding in most formats due to a limited role.

It wasn’t a monster game for LaMelo, but it didn’t need to be. He made the most of his 25 minutes on the court in the blowout win. This was his fifth straight game with at least 20 points, and he set a new season high for assists. LaMelo took some time to get going, but he is starting to get into a groove with Anthony Edwards sidelined. Minnesota has now won five straight games and will look to extend their streak with the Bulls coming to town on Saturday.

Risacher was the leading scorer for Dallas in this game, though most of his work came after the result had been decided. Risacher had a strong start to the season, specifically on the defensive end. However, he has cooled off a bit in recent weeks, though this was a nice outing for him. However, in the month of November, he has only scored in double figures in the games that were decided by at least 35 points, making him a difficult player to trust in fantasy basketball.

Washington got off to a hot start to this game, scoring 10 points in the first quarter. Unfortunately, foul trouble limited him to just 16 minutes, and he didn’t score over the final three quarters. That pretty much sums this game up for Dallas, as they were outscored by 31 points after the first quarter. They were completely dominated in this game, though Washington was able to start off well, so that is something, I suppose. They’ll look to bounce back in Cleveland on Saturday.

A big fourth quarter led to Trae setting a new season high for scoring. In fact, this was his first 30-point, 10-assist game as a Wizard and the 92nd of his career, which ranks fifth in NBA history. Unfortunately, after scoring his 33rd point at the buzzer with an incredible three-pointer to force overtime, he shot 0-of-7 from the floor in overtime, with the four extra points coming at the free throw line. Still, it was an excellent night for him and was certainly his best performance as a Wizard. It is also worth noting that AJ Dybantsa, despite a rough night, hit a tough mid-range shot to force the second overtime, which was a fun moment for the rookie.
