Montrezl Harrell has strong double-double in loss to Celtics

Montrezl Harrell
PF, Los Angeles Clippers

Montrezl Harrell had a strong double-double on Thursday night with 24 points, 13 rebounds, two steals and three blocks in 44 minutes as the Celtics outlasted the Clippers in double-overtime 141-133.

Harrell is the prototypical high-energy big man who gets exactly the stats we expect from him. There are really no surprises in his games. He scores a decent amount at a good clip from the floor, rebounds well, blocks some shots and struggles from the line. We know what he is. It just isn't quite the player he was last season.

Jamal Murray
PG, Denver Nuggets

Jamal Murray was shut down by the Clippers' stifling defense on Wednesday and was limited to scoring just 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting.

Murray was able to add three rebounds, two triples and six assists in his 25 minutes on the floor to round out his line for the night. This was a clearly a low-end performance coming from Murray, but it's something that you can chalk up to a tough matchup in the Clippers. Expect him to play better moving forward, making him a solid option in the middle rounds of playoff leagues.

Nikola Jokic
C, Denver Nuggets

Nikola Jokic was able to put up a double-double in a losing effort against the Clippers on Wednesday, recording 17 points on 7-of-11 shooting, dishing out 13 dimes, grabbing seven boards and connecting on 1-of-4 3-pointers.

Jokic played well despite the end result which is what his owners in fantasy care about anyway. Tonight's game was in line with his top-10 value on the season as arguably the best passing center in the league. The Nuggets were missing a bunch of key players tonight, so the blame can't be fully laid on his shoulders alone, especially considering how much effort he put in.

Jerami Grant
SF, Denver Nuggets

Jerami Grant (sore right knee) was amazing off the bench for the Nuggets in Wednesday's tilt vs. the Clippers, putting up a team-high 25 points on 9-of-14 shooting with six rebounds, four treys, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes.

Grant showed no signs of being hampered by his sore right knee, which had him originally listed as questionable before being cleared to play in this game. While Grant is more known for his defensive abilities, he's also able to heat up and load up some big points on the board when his shot falls like it did tonight. Grant's fantasy outlook remains capped while Paul Millsap (five points, five rebounds, two assists, 25 minutes) is playing ahead of him.

Michael Porter Jr.
PF, Denver Nuggets

Michael Porter Jr. got a rude awakening on Wednesday when he faced the Clippers' defense and was limited to shooting 4-of-10 from the field for 11 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 25 minutes of action.

MPJ has been one of the bigges revelations over the seeding games in Orlando, taking advantage of the Nuggets' injury woes and earning his keep as a starter with a handful of amazing performances. He's established a good look of what his ceiling can be, taking his fantasy stock futures to new heights.

Ivica Zubac
C, Los Angeles Clippers

Ivica Zubac held his own against Nikola Jokic on Wednesday, registering his 10th double-double of the season with 15 points (7-of-9 shooting) with 12 rebounds and two assists.

Zubac has managed to play quite well in the absence of Montrezl Harrell in the Clippers' seeding games in Orlando and has upped his averages enough to post usable late mid-round value. It's been a pleasant surprise, but once Harrell clears quarantine, the honeymoon will end and Zubac will see a clear decline in production.
