Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Kyle Kuzma
PF, Los Angeles Lakers

Kyle Kuzma knocked down the game-winning 3-pointer in Monday's 124-121 win over the Nuggets while adding 25 points, six boards, three assists, two steals and three triples.

Kuzma had his best game since the resumption of the season and prior to this game, he was playing well on defense. Tonight was when the offense caught up and his patience on both ends has paid off as his moment came and he delivered for Lakers fans. In fantasy terms, he's still a sketchy add, but the Lakers need a consistent third option and Kuzma is probably the best fantasy contributor on the team outside of their two stars.

LeBron James
SF, Los Angeles Lakers

LeBron James posted a double-double to the tune of 29 points and 12 assists while adding a rebound, two blocks and five triples on Monday.

James had his best offensive game of the bubble tonight, knocking down 5-for-11 from downtown and 9-for-21 from the field overall. His 6-for-10 mark at the line is something that's been bugging fantasy owners (and Lakers) fans all year, but he gets a pass because of everything else he brought tonight.
August 11, 2020, 12:07 am
Anthony Davis
PF-C, Los Angeles Lakers

Anthony Davis had a busy night on Monday, scoring 27 points with six rebounds, five dimes, three steals and two blocks.

Davis went 9-for-15 from the floor and 9-for-12 at the line to cap an efficient night from the best big in fantasy basketball. He only attempted one 3-pointer tonight, but the Lakers got enough from their other players on the perimeter to allow it. He had the game winning dish to Kyle Kuzma to help the Lakers take this one over the Nuggets.
August 11, 2020, 12:05 am
Dion Waiters
SG, Los Angeles Lakers

Dion Waiters came off the bench on Monday and logged 27 minutes, scoring 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting to go with three assists and a triple.

Waiters played the most minutes off the bench and deservedly so. He and Alex Caruso (20 minutes, zero points, four assists and two steals) were big time for the Lakers, but neither can be trusted in fantasy formats.

Michael Porter Jr.
PF, Denver Nuggets

Michael Porter Jr. shot a perfect 6-for-6 on Monday, netting 15 points with four boards, an assist, a steal and three triples.

Porter looks the healthiest he's been all season and although the Nuggets are missing Gary Harris and Will Barton, he's shown the organization and the league that he's got the talent on offense. He's a natural scorer that has the size and speed to dominate mismatches and once the X's and O's catch up, he's going to be making even more noise in the near future.
