Drew Timme

BKN Power Forward #26

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Drew Timme accounted for 30 points (13-of-24 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Wizards.

Timme has been outstanding in Las Vegas, even if the Nets are now 0-2 following Sunday’s defeat. The former Gonzaga standout went off for a game-high 30 points, shooting over 50 percent from the field. While his contract is only partially guaranteed until January 10, Timme has played well enough thus far to ensure he has a fair opportunity to earn minutes for the Nets next season. He isn’t an option in most fantasy leagues, but Timme may occasionally be a worthwhile streamer.

Payton Pritchard

BOS Guard #11

Payton Pritchard (neck) is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Pistons.

Pritchard is a late addition to the injury report, and there’s a chance he’ll be sidelined for the first time this season. If that’s the case, Anfernee Simons could join the first unit for the first time in a Celtics uniform.

RJ Barrett

TOR Forward-Guard #9
According to Raptors reporter Blake Murphy, RJ Barrett will begin “return-to-play” activities this week.

Barrett - who last played on November 23 - will remain out on Monday against the Heat. Toronto plays three more games in Week 9, so it’s possible Barrett could get back on the court for one of them. Until then, Jamal Shead is a worthwhile streamer in deeper leagues.

Draymond Green

GSW Forward #23

Draymond Green (foot) accumulated 14 points (5-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, seven assists, three steals, one block and eight three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Green was back in the Warriors’ lineup after missing three games with a foot injury. The good news for those who have him rostered is that the veteran forward put up a complete stat line. The bad news is that Green’s final line included eight turnovers, a reminder that there are some things for him to clean up. The Warriors play two games in Week 9, a Thursday/Saturday home-and-home against the Suns.

Jimmy Butler

GSW Forward #10

Jimmy Butler tallied 16 points (3-of-11 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals in Sunday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Butler did most of his damage offensively at the foul line, and he moved into 38th on the NBA’s all-time free throws made list on Sunday. Fantasy managers will be satisfied with the rebounds, assists and steals, but the scoring output was underwhelming. Butler is providing third-round value in eight-cat formats, and availability has not been a serious issue for him thus far. He’ll look to do more offensively when the Warriors visit the Suns on Thursday.

Stephen Curry

GSW Guard #30

Stephen Curry recorded 48 points (16-of-26 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and 12 three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Sunday’s performance was a historic one for Curry. After scoring 39 points in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves, he was even better in Portland, with the 48 being one point shy of his season-high. Curry made 12 three-pointers, the fifth time he’s hit that many in an NBA game, and that is a record. He’s also the all-time leader in 40-point games for a player over 30 years old, passing Michael Jordan. The Warriors play two games in Week 9, a Thursday/Saturday home-and-home against Phoenix.

Donovan Clingan

POR Center #23
Donovan Clingan (leg) tallied three points (1-of-3 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal and three blocked shots in Sunday’s win over the Warriors.

Clingan was back in the Trail Blazers’ lineup after missing three games, which factored into his playing 22 minutes. The good news for those who have the 7-foot-2 center rostered is that he provided good value in rebounds and blocks, but that was about it. Robert Williams III (11/11/3/1) was more productive offensively in his 19 minutes, so there may be some value there for deep-league managers. However, Clingan should remain the priority, especially as his playing time increases.

Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija amassed 26 points (6-of-16 FGs, 12-of-13 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Warriors.

While many expected Avdija to be a more valuable option in fantasy basketball entering this season, few believed he could be as good as he’s been. In eight-cat formats, the 6-foot-9 forward has been close to a top-25 player. While moving to point guard due to injuries to other players has raised Avdija’s ceiling, he was playing well even before the role change. The Trail Blazers play two games in Week 9, a Thursday/Saturday home-and-home against the Kings.

Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jerami Grant accounted for 35 points (12-of-22 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one block and seven three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Warriors.

Grant put on a show on Sunday, with the 35 points matching his season-high. While the rebounding remains an issue, the Trail Blazers forward continues to exceed expectations in fantasy basketball. Close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, Grant is providing seventh-round value for the season. Rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth a look in more 12-team leagues due to the production.

Shaedon Sharpe

POR Guard #17

Shaedon Sharpe finished Sunday’s win over the Warriors with 35 points (12-of-18 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, four steals and five three-pointers.

Sharpe picked a good time to have one of his best games of the season. Recording his fourth 30-point game of the season, he finished one point shy of his season-high and finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Over the past two weeks, Sharpe has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, with the run pushing his season-long value into the top-100. Portland plays two games in Week 9, a Thursday/Saturday home-and-home against the Kings.

Collin Gillespie

PHX Guard #12
Collin Gillespie finished Sunday’s loss to the Lakers with 10 points (4-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers.

With Devin Booker returning from a groin injury, the assumption was that Gillespie would head back to the bench. Suns head coach Jordan Ott went in another direction, deciding to move Royce O’Neale (12/5/1/1 with four three-pointers) instead. Gillespie didn’t record the most impressive stat line, but sticking in the starting lineup and playing 37 minutes means that he still has life in fantasy leagues. The Suns play two games in Week 9, a Thursday/Saturday home-and-home against the Warriors.
