Kendrick Nunn back in action, scores five points in Saturday's start

Kendrick Nunn
PG, Miami Heat

Kendrick Nunn returned to the floor on Saturday, drawing the start in a scrimmage against the Jazz and producing five points, three assists and a 3-pointer in 17 minutes.

Nunn just cleared quarantine on Thursday and jumped right into the starting lineup in his first chance at game action. He'll be part of a deep Miami rotation and doesn't have a stat set that churns out fantasy value all that easily, but Nunn can be viewed as a late-round option for scoring punch in resumption leagues.

Alex Caruso
SG, Los Angeles Lakers

Alex Caruso (sore right wrist) played 20 minutes in Thursday's Game 4 victory, notching three points, two assists, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer.

Caruso was initially probable to play and never seemed in danger of sitting this one out despite going for an MRI yesterday. His five fouls may have done more to limit him than anything else in the Lakers' win tonight, and you can expect a healthy Caruso to be one of the top reserve options for LA moving forward.

Jamal Murray
PG, Denver Nuggets

Jamal Murray couldn't lead the Nuggets past the Lakers in Thursday's 108-114 Game 4 loss with his 32 points, three boards, eight dimes and one block.

With the Lakers keying in on Nikola Jokic, Murray was able to get going early in the first quarter. When they threw traps at him early in offensive sets, Murray was able to adapt and attack earlier to get himself cleaner looks. The point is, Murray is a budding superstar and is having one of those breakthrough moments before our very eyes. The Nuggets are still big underdogs in this fight, but with Murray, they have a fighting chance.

Nikola Jokic
C, Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic scored 16 points on 6-of-13 shooting with seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and two triples in Thursday's Game 4 against the Lakers.

Jokic was stifled in the first part of the game as Dwight Howard drew the start and imposed his physicality early. The Joker is known for shying away from shot attempts when things aren't going easy for him, but he stepped up a bit in the second half and started to hit some open 3s to open up the offense for the Nuggets. Expect him to come out much more aggressive in Game 5 now that he can prepare for Howard in the starting lineup.

Michael Porter Jr.
PF, Denver Nuggets

Michael Porter Jr. scored 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting to go with eight rebounds, an assist, a steal and three 3-pointers in Thursday's Game 4 against the Lakers.

Porter Jr. had his shot going tonight, nailing some tough step-back 3s which makes it easier to play him considering his defensive weaknesses. The Lakers also deploy lineups with Rajon Rondo and Kyle Kuzma which help his case for staying on the floor.

Jerami Grant
SF, Denver Nuggets

Jerami Grant scored 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting to go with two boards, an assist and two 3-pointers in Thursday's Game 4 vs. the Lakers.

Grant had another great game for the Nuggets and continues to draw coverage on LeBron James and Anthony Davis while maintaining a solid scoring role. He has a player option this summer, but he'll surely decline and command a great deal of money in the open market as every team could use a guy like Grant on their roster.
