  • MIA Small Forward #22

    Jimmy Butler produced a stat line of 15 points (6-of-9 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 37 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to New York.
    Playing against former teammate Karl-Anthony Towns, Butler had a quiet night at the office. Since scoring three points in Miami’s season-opening loss to the Magic, he’s scored 15 or more in three straight. Butler still isn’t playing to the standard many have come to expect, but there’s a lot of basketball left to be played. Managers who have him rostered should remain patient.

    Jordan Clarkson shot 5-of-11 from the field and 4-of-4 from the foul line in Thursday’s loss to Milwaukee, accumulating 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, and four 3-pointers in 21 minutes.
  • UTA Power Forward #23
    Lauri Markkanen (back spasms) finished Thursday’s loss to the Bucks with eight points (3-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two 3-pointers in 29 minutes.
  • MIL Shooting Guard #44
    Andre Jackson Jr. accounted for seven points (3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, four steals, and one 3-pointer in 28 minutes in Thursday’s win over Utah.
  • MIL Point Guard #0
    Damian Lillard shot 12-of-22 from the field and 6-of-7 from the foul line in Thursday’s win over Utah, tallying 34 points, four rebounds, seven assists, four steals, and four 3-pointers in 37 minutes.
  • MIL Power Forward #34
    Giannis Antetokounmpo amassed 31 points (11-of-21 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), 16 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one blocked shot in 30 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Jazz.
  • SAS Shooting Guard #24
    According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Devin Vassell (right foot surgery) will make his season debut on Saturday against Utah.
    Hours after Charania reported that Vassell could make his debut on Saturday, he’s reported that it will happen. In the past, San Antonio has taken a cautious approach with returning starters, bringing them off the bench in their first game back. Stephon Castle would remain a starter for one more game if they do this with Vassell. He’ll still lose minutes, but the hit may not be as severe between the starting role and Malaki Branham (ankle) potentially sitting out.
  • CHI Small Forward #13
    Torrey Craig never entered Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves due to an illness.
    Absent from the initial injury report, the team officially ruled out Craig during the third quarter of Thursday’s game. His absence would not impact fantasy basketball, even with the Bulls again playing without the injured Zach LaVine.
  • POR Shooting Guard #17
    Shaedon Sharpe amassed 13 points (6-of-9 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one block, and one 3-pointer in 20 minutes in Thursday’s loss to San Antonio.
    Sharpe made his season debut on Thursday and looked sharp in his 20 minutes on the floor. While the full impact of his return on the rest of the rotation isn’t fully known yet, Sharpe’s presence meant fewer minutes for starter Deni Avdija. Playing 25 minutes, Avdija finished with nine points, seven rebounds, five assists, and one 3-pointer. Meanwhile, fellow starter Toumani Camara played 35. Due to Portland’s lack of shooting guards and Camara’s defensive ability, it may be Advija whose value takes the most significant hit with Sharpe back in action. Fantasy managers should consider Sharpe questionable for Friday’s game against Minnesota.
  • POR Shooting Guard #1
    Anfernee Simons accounted for 19 points (7-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven assists, one steal, and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Spurs.
    Simons is ranked just outside the top 100 in per-game value, with field-goal percentage being the concern. He’s shooting 39.1% through nine games, nearly four points lower than his mark from last season (43.0%). And if that percentage were to hold, it would be a career-low for Simons. Portland has two more games in Week 3, beginning with Minnesota on Friday.
  • POR Center #2
    Deandre Ayton finished Thursday’s loss to the Spurs with 21 points (10-of-15 FGs), 10 rebounds, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes.
    Ayton has now recorded eight double-doubles in Portland’s first nine games, and his fantasy value is about where it was expected to be before the season began (Yahoo ADP: 62). The foul line has been the issue thus far, with Ayton making 62.5% of his attempts. Getting that number into the mid-60s would give DA a shot at top-50 value.
