  • IND Point Guard

    Sundiata Gaines played just 12 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Sixers.
    Gaines scored two points with one rebound and one assist, and was a popular Roto league pickup for those seeking players likely to play big minutes. That clearly didn’t happen tonight, and backup Armon Johnson (10 points, two assists, 22 minutes) was the better play, if you want to call it that. MarShon Brooks also played some point guard, and ultimately Gaines is a gamble in Thursday’s finale.
  • LAL Forward #28

    Rui Hachimura (groin) finished Thursday’s loss to the Rockets with zero points (0-of-6 FGs), two rebounds, two assists and one steal.
    Highlights: Brunson leads Knicks' comeback
    Lead by Jalen Brunson, the New York Knicks had a strong fourth quarter for a "Christmas comeback" against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
  • LAL Forward #23
    LeBron James recorded 18 points (7-of-13 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Thursday’s loss to the Rockets.
    While James shot the ball reasonably well and recorded a complete stat line, the numbers felt a bit underwhelming, given how the game went. Including James, Luka Dončić was the lone Lakers starter to grab more than two rebounds as Houston dominated the boards. LeBron and the Lakers will look to end Week 10 on a high note when they host the Kings on Sunday.
  • LAL Forward-Guard #77
    Luka Dončić (leg) accumulated 25 points (9-of-17 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Rockets.
    Dončić played 34 minutes in his return from a leg contusion that kept him out of Tuesday’s loss to the Suns. Interestingly, the Lakers guard did not look entirely comfortable on his leg during the fourth quarter, but he was out there until about three minutes remaining. The Lakers don’t play again until Sunday, and they can ill afford to lose Dončić with Austin Reaves possibly aggravating his calf injury during the first half of Thursday’s defeat.
  • HOU Forward #17
    Tari Eason tallied 13 points (6-of-14 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, four steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in Thursday’s win over the Lakers.
    In his third game back from an oblique injury that sidelined him for over a month, Eason made his second start of the season. While the three-pointers weren’t falling, with the Rockets’ forward shooting 1-of-5, he did a little bit of everything else. Eason’s six defensive contributions were a season-high, and it’s something that he’s capable of doing consistently. Even if this start was a one-time deal, now is a good time to add Eason if he’s available in your league.
  • HOU Center #28
    Alperen Şengün accounted for 14 points (5-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal in Thursday’s win over the Lakers.
    Şengün only attempted seven shots on Thursday, the fewest in a game for him this season. However, the Rockets center did record his 16th double-double of the season. Şengün has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (19). The sore spot for fantasy managers has been turnovers, with Şengün committing six on Thursday. If he can clean up that area, his nine-cat value will improve.
  • HOU Guard-Forward #1
    Amen Thompson amassed 26 points (12-of-19 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in Thursday’s win over the Lakers.
    Playing on Christmas Day for the first time in his NBA career, Thompson was outstanding against the Lakers. All that was lacking from his stat line was a blocked shot and a three-pointer, but the third-year wing provided excellent value in the other fantasy categories. After a relatively slow start to the season, Thompson has been a fourth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the last two weeks.
  • HOU Forward #7
    Kevin Durant finished Thursday’s win over the Lakers with 25 points (8-of-14 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers.
    After a disappointing effort in Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers, Durant and the Rockets took care of business against the Lakers. He’s scored at least 25 points in four of his last six games, and according to Basketball Monster, KD is ranked second in eight- and nine-cat formats over the previous two weeks. The Rockets end Week 10 at home on Saturday against the Cavaliers.
  • DEN Guard-Forward #10
    Jamal Murray, Tim Hardaway Jr., Peyton Watson, Spencer Jones and Nikola Jokić will start Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves.
    Thursday’s game is the first for Denver since losing Cameron Johnson to a right knee injury during Tuesday’s loss to the Mavericks. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Hardaway, whose fantasy ceiling is raised with the move into the starting lineup.
  • MIN Forward #3
    Donte DiVincenzo, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert will start Thursday’s game against the Nuggets.
    McDaniels’ return from an oblique injury prompts the lone change to the Timberwolves’ starting lineup. He’ll start, with Mike Conley being moved back to the bench.
  • LAL Guard #15
    Austin Reaves (calf) will not return to Thursday’s game against the Rockets.
    Reaves, who returned from a strained left calf on Tuesday, was inserted back into the starting lineup on Thursday. The plan was to continue exercising caution, but the guard was not on the court at the start of the third quarter. Marcus Smart started the period and would remain in that role if Reaves has to miss time.
