Dillon Brooks goes off for 30 points in preseason win

Dillon Brooks
SF, Memphis Grizzlies

Dillon Brooks led the Grizzlies with 30 points (10-for-17 shooting) on Wednesday night, adding five 3-pointers and a steal to round out his effort.

This is a huge performance from Brooks, and very well-timed considering the recent speculation that Grayson Allen will start at shooting guard. Though there's deep-league scoring pop, the fact that Brooks managed zero rebounds or assists in this one underscores just how hollow his stat set is. Even if he starts, we're looking at top-225 value at best.

LeBron James
SF, Los Angeles Lakers

LeBron James (ankle sprain) should be good to go for Game 2 on Sunday, per Frank Vogel.

James suffered the injury during the first quarter in Friday's Game 1 victory after stepping on the foot of Jerami Grant. Despite the injury, James played out the game, and although he only scored 15 points, he looked relatively untroubled. It doesn't sound too serious and given the importance of the game, it would likely take more than this to keep him off the court on Sunday.

Dwight Howard
C, Los Angeles Lakers

Dwight Howard is being considered for the starting center position in Sunday's Game 2 against the Nuggets, according to Lakers head coach Frank Vogel.

Howard played 16 minutes during the Game 1 victory on Friday, ending with a solid stat line. He came off the bench but was moved into the starting lineup to begin the second half. More details should be available closer to tip off, although, Howard is someone to consider in DFS based on his contributions in Game 1.

Gordon Hayward
SF, Boston Celtics

There is "significant optimism" that Gordon Hayward (right ankle sprain) will be available to play in Saturday's Game 3, per Adrian Wojnarowski.

Hayward has been out since suffering a Grade 3 right ankle sprain on August 17. Interestingly, though perhaps not surprisingly, Woj adds that Hayward's return will give a boost to Boston's bench. While he is usually a starter, the Celtics figure to ease Hayward back into action — at least to the extent that's possible in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston will take any help it can get after their Game 2 loss led to a postgame altercation between Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown, and the team's season is very much on the line today.

SG, Indiana Pacers

Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Pacers will consider Mike Brown as a candidate for their vacant head coach position.

Brown joins Becky Hammon, Dave Joerger, Jacque Vaughn, Mike D'Antoni and a host of others on Indiana's list. Previously a head coach in Cleveland, Brown has spent the last four years as an assistant on Steve Kerr's staff in Golden State.

Dwight Howard
C, Los Angeles Lakers

Dwight Howard saw just 16 minutes off the bench in Friday's win over the Nuggets but made the most of his time on the floor, producing 13 points, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks.

Howard made 4-of-5 shots from the field and true to form, made just five of his eight attempts at the line. Despite his limited time, mostly due to fouls (four fouls), Howard was able throw the Nuggets off their rhythm with his two blocks and two steals. The key to the Lakers' success in this game was the strong effort they got from their role-players. Danny Green, who scored just eight points on 3-of-10 shooting, still made a huge impact with a team-high plus-10 in the +/- column.
