Rotoworld

Mikal Bridges

NYK Guard-Forward #25

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mikal Bridges accounted for 24 points (9-of-14 FGs), two rebounds, four assists and six three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Heat.

For the first time this season, Bridges has failed to record a steal or blocked shot in consecutive games. However, his offensive production has increased, with the Knicks wing having scored at least 20 points in three straight games for the first time since late October. Bridges remains a top-10 player in nine-cat formats and a top-20 player in eight-cat. For a player who entered the year with a Yahoo! ADP in the eighties, this has been an excellent first third of the season for Bridges.

Jett Howard

ORL Guard #13

Jett Howard (illness) is out for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Howard will not be available for the final game of Orlando’s two-game European trip. He hasn’t been in the rotation recently, picking up a DNP-CD in Thursday’s win over the Grizzlies in Berlin. Howard’s absence does not affect fantasy basketball.

Drew Timme

LAL Forward #26

Drew Timme finished Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers with 21 points (9-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, two steals and three three-pointers.

With Deandre Ayton and Jaxson Hayes out due to injury, there were going to be opportunities for Timme to contribute. He didn’t start, as Maxi Kleber (11/5/1/1 with one three-pointer) received the nod, but that didn’t keep the third-year forward from having a career night. Timme recorded his first 20-point game as a pro, shooting 75 percent from the field. If Ayton and Hayes can’t play on Sunday against the Raptors, Timme will be worth considering in deep leagues.

Marcus Smart

LAL Guard #36
Marcus Smart (leg) recorded 25 points (9-of-17 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, one steal and four three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

Smart limped off the court during the fourth quarter, heading to the locker room briefly before returning to the bench. He had an excellent night before the lower-body injury, with the 25 points being a season-high. There was no announcement from the Lakers regarding Smart’s injury, which may bode well for his availability for Sunday’s game against the Raptors. And if Luka Dončić (groin) can’t play, Smart will be worth streaming.

LeBron James

LAL Forward #23

LeBron James finished Saturday’s loss to the Trail Blazers with 20 points (6-of-16 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer.

With no Luka Dončić in the lineup, the Lakers had to rely on James more than they would prefer to in Portland. While he kept turnovers in check, committing only four, the added responsibility made it more challenging for James to get going offensively. He still finished with a complete stat line, and the field-goal percentage was the only issue. The question now is whether LeBron will be available for Sunday’s game against the Raptors.

Caleb Love

POR Guard #2
Caleb Love recorded 22 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, seven assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Lakers.

Given how well Love has played, it feels inevitable that he’ll eventually be upgraded to a standard contract. The rookie guard had another excellent night on Saturday, and he’s scored at least 17 points in five consecutive games. And a spot start could be in Love’s future, as the Trail Blazers visit Sacramento on Sunday. Jrue Holiday (9/3/4 with one three-pointer) played 20 minutes, but he isn’t far removed from an extended absence with a strained calf. If he sits, Love will likely start.

Donovan Clingan

POR Center #23

Donovan Clingan tallied 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), 11 rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Lakers.

If there was an issue for Clingan on Saturday, it was the three-point shot. He made just one of his seven attempts, and that may be a little too much time on the perimeter for the 7-foot-2 center. However, Clingan still recorded a double-double in 27 minutes. Unfortunately, Clingan’s streak of games without a blocked shot has reached three, but he’s still averaging 1.3 per game on the season.

Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jarami Grant accumulated 22 points (6-of-12 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Lakers.

In his second game on the floor after missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury, Grant was highly efficient scoring-wise. He scored 22 points in as many minutes on solid percentages from the field and the foul line. Grant’s playing time will be limited for the foreseeable future due to injury management, and there’s no guarantee he plays in Sacramento on Sunday. Consider Grant to be questionable.

Shaedon Sharpe

POR Guard #17

Shaedon Sharpe amassed 25 points (9-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Lakers.

Since shooting 3-of-16 from the field and scoring six points in a January 3 loss to the Spurs, Sharpe has scored at least 20 in six of his last seven outings. With the consistent production, the Trail Blazers’ guard has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. As a result, Sharpe’s season-long value has cracked the top-100. Portland still has one more game to play in Week 13, as they visit the Kings on Sunday.

Khris Middleton

WAS Forward #22

Khris Middleton amassed 16 points (6-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Middleton was back in the Wizards’ lineup after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Kings, pushing Justin Champagnie (13/9/1/3 in 26 minutes) to the bench. Middleton was productive in his 27 minutes, but the few who have him rostered should be hoping to see him traded before the February 5 deadline. Already not playing both games of back-to-backs, availability could become an even bigger issue for Middleton managers if he isn’t traded.

Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20

Alex Sarr finished Saturday’s loss to the Nuggets with 16 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds and one assist.

The good is that Sarr shot the ball well from the field and was active on the glass. The bad was that he had a brutal night at the foul line and did not record any steals or blocked shots. That has not been a common occurrence for Sarr, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned about Saturday’s performance. The Wizards begin a three-game Week 14 on Monday against the Clippers.
