Luka Doncic thrives with game-high 34 in loss to Celtics

Luka Doncic
PG-SF, Dallas Mavericks

Luka Doncic provided another great performance in a 116-106 loss in Boston on Monday, putting up a game-high 34 points (11-for-21 FGs, 9-for-10 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists and three -3-pointers in 34 minutes.

The Celtics were able to keep Kristaps Porzingis to just one field goal, but Doncic flourished even against tough defense on the road tonight. Luka is currently 4th/8th (8-cat/9-cat) on the player rater, which is a far cry from last season's 53/100.

Michael Porter Jr.
PF, Denver Nuggets

Michael Porter Jr. scored a career-high 37 points and hauled in 12 rebounds during the Nuggets' 121-113 overtime victory over the Thunder on Monday.

Porter did a great job making up for the absences of the injured Will Barton, Gary Harris, and Jamal Murray. He shot 12-for-16 from the field and added four triples. Porter has always oozed potential, but don't expect this kind of dominance when the roster gets healthier.

Royce O'Neale
SF, Utah Jazz

Royce O'Neale (right foot soreness) is still considered probable to face the Lakers on Monday.

O'Neale played 19 minutes on Saturday and should be ready to go. He had a strong game against the Pelicans on Thursday with 12 points and nine rebounds over 35 minutes of action.

Troy Brown Jr.
SG-SF, Washington Wizards

Troy Brown finished with 10 points in 31 minutes, adding eight assists and seven rebounds during Monday's loss to the Pacers.

Brown saw his scoring output fall on Monday, however, he has now handed out a combined 16 assists over the last two games. The Wizards are going to take production wherever they can find it at this stage and Brown appears to be in a prime position to capitalize. Given he averaged only 2.4 assists per game this season, there is reason to think his numbers in that category could regress at some point.

Shabazz Napier
PG, Washington Wizards

Shabazz Napier was replaced in the starting lineup by Ish Smith for Monday's matchup with the Pacers, amassing 16 points, four assists and two rebounds in 22 minutes.

Napier is yet to put it all together for the Wizards, although Monday was clearly his best performance thus far. Coming into the resumption period, Napier was viewed as a potential top-50 candidate. However, the fact he is basically splitting minutes with Smith has resulted in a series of underwhelming stat lines.

Ish Smith
PG, Washington Wizards

Ish Smith shot just 39 percent from the field during Monday's loss, compiling 12 points, four assists and two rebounds in 22 minutes.

Smith moved into the starting lineup, replacing Shabazz Napier who shifted to a bench role. It is unclear whether he will remain the starter, although his exact role is unlikely to impact his fantasy value moving forward. Both he and Napier have been splitting minutes at the point guard position, resulting in their respective fantasy ceilings being somewhat capped.
