Edey’s night was unspectacular from a fantasy basketball perspective. He didn’t dominate in any singular category, but was solid enough across the board to finish with mediocre production. He played 29 minutes in the game, battled on both ends, and ultimately finished as the Grizzlies’ leader in blocks in the win. They’ll play Sunday against the Trail Blazers, where fantasy managers will hope for more production out of Edey.

Cunningham was just one assist away from a triple-double in Thursday’s game against the Mavericks, but he was able to get the job done with his 14th triple-double of his career and third this year Saturday. Cade is averaging 28 points per game, 8 rebounds per game and 10 assists per game over his last three games. He only had two turnovers against the Hornets, which is important in nine-category leagues. The Pistons have four games in Week 10, starting with the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Flagg appears to be coming into his own early in his young career. He’s averaging 29.7 points per game, 7.0 rebounds per game and 4.3 assists per game over his last three games. Flagg is one of the most impressive young players in league history. The Mavericks have four games in Week 10, starting with a date with the Pelicans on Monday.

Already without Austin Reaves and Deandre Ayton, the Lakers will also be without Rui Hachimura for Saturday’s game. LaRavis has been moved into the starting lineup, and he’s worth streaming in deep leagues due to the Lakers’ lack of healthy options. Also, look for Jarred Vanderbilt to figure more prominently off the bench.

Davis played 37 minutes in the overtime win over the Pistons on Thursday, but only had 15 points on 18 attempts. The 32-year-old power forward bounced back with a better offensive effort Saturday. Davis had 24 points on 11-of-20 from the field. The Mavericks have four games in Week 10, starting with a matchup with the Pelicans on Monday.

Harden is back in the Clippers’ lineup after a one-game absence. His return means that Bogdan Bogdanović will head to the bench, taking on a role that makes him a non-factor in most fantasy leagues. The Clippers’ other four starters are unchanged.

Williamson was a force of nature in this one, consistently exploiting Indiana’s lack of interior defense by consistently attacking the rim, which led to a plethora of easy shots around the rim in addition to a staggering 13 free throw attempts. He scored 18 of his points in the opening half and matched his previous season-high total in just 23 minutes. The 25-year-old big man continues to deal with lingering physical issues but he’s shown that he can still be an extremely impactful fantasy contributor when everything is going right. He’s averaged 18.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and three assists in three games since returning from a six-game absence due to an adductor injury. The Pelicans are back in action on Monday when they square off against the Mavericks to open a four-game week.

There aren’t a ton of positive for the Pacers right now but Siakam remains a reliable scoring threat for fantasy purposes, averaging 23.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.5 block through 27 games. The 31-year-old forward has topped the 20-point mark in nine of his last 10 games since November 28. His 11 free throw attempts in this one represented his highest single-game total since November 24. The Pacers will attempt to get back on track when they face the Celtics on Monday in a road matchup to kick off a four-game week.

Queen has been a double-double machine recently, accomplishing the feat three times over his last five games, averaging 17.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.4 blocks, delivering top-30 overall fantasy value during that two-weeks span. The 21-year-old rookie center is worthy of a roster spot in all fantasy formats as he continues his upward trajectory.
