D’Angelo Russell scored 24 points (one 3) and added six assists, three rebounds and two steals in Friday’s win over the home Wizards.
DAR added four turnovers but shot it pretty well for him (8-of-16 from the field, 6-of-8 from the line). As usual, it’s his poor efficiency that keeps him around the top-80/100 in 8/9-cat. If you’re looking to improve your efficiency cats a few more high scoring games from Russell might open up a nice sell-high window.

De'Aaron Fox (sprained left ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday vs. the Warriors.
Fox originally said that he's targeting a return, either vs. the Hornets or against the Grizzlies. He has been going hard in workouts and not experiencing any pain. Look for him to be on a minutes limit early on as the Kings ease him back into game shape.

Aron Baynes (left calf strain) recorded 13 points on 6-of-11 shooting with eight rebounds, one 3-pointer and two blocks in Saturday's OT loss to the Spurs.
Baynes was probable heading into this game and it's a good thing he gave it a go and delivered a serviceable line for his owners. Baynes' heightened value has a fuse as long (or as short) as it takes for Deandre Ayton (suspension) to get back on the floor.

Thon Maker will start in place of Andre Drummond (eye) on Saturday vs the Rockets.
Maker and Christian Wood will likely be splitting centre minutes with Andrew Drummond out. Maker got the start but Wood has the higher fantasy upside.

Dario Saric tied his career-high with 17 rebounds on Saturday, adding 19 points on 8-of-17 shootign with one 3-pointer and four assists to round out his line for the night.
Saric was probable coming into this game with some lower back soreness, but by the result was healthy enough to deliver a fat double-double by his standards. He's a sell-high candidate given Deandre Ayton's (suspension) impending return.

December 14, 2019, 8:29 pmRicky RubioPG, Phoenix Suns
Ricky Rubio was excellent in Saturday's loss to the Spurs, recording a season-high 25 points on 10-of-20 shooting with three rebounds, 13 dimes, two 3s, one steal and one block.
This was World-Cup Rubio showed up tonight and stepped up in the absence of Devin Booker (sore wrist). Overall, Rubio has been a top-50 beast in 9-cat as one of the most well-rounded Tier 2 point guards in the game.

December 14, 2019, 8:25 pmMikal BridgesSF, Phoenix Suns
Mikal Bridges started for Devin Booker (sore wrist) on Saturday and quietly tallied five points, 10 rebounds, four dimes and two steals.
Bridges has been a bit of a letdown overall this season with Kelly Oubre Jr. stealing a bit of his thunder and his usage as a perimeter defender. That said, Bridges has done enough to stay relevant in 14-team leagues or deeper. Oubre struggled with his shot in this one, going 5-for-15 from the field for 17 points, eight rebounds, two 3s and one steal.
