Edmond Sumner agrees to three-year deal with Pacers

Edmond Sumner
PG, Indiana Pacers

Edmond Sumner has agreed to a three-year deal with the Pacers.

This was expected, as Indiana purposely did not pick up Sumner's $1.5 million option for next season so they could work out a longer-term deal. Sumner has developed nicely, if anonymously, since recovering from a torn ACL in his final season of college. He appeared in 23 games last season and held up well when the Pacers were dealing with lots of backcourt injuries, so it's possible he earns a rotation spot this year.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Damian Lillard
PG, Portland Trail Blazers

Damian Lillard had another solid game on Tuesday, posting 21 points (6-for-19 FG), nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and three 3-pointers.

This was good but not great from Lillard, though his complementary stats salvaged what could've ended up as a very disappointing game. There's never any reason to doubt Dame but it's still nice seeing that he can deliver value in other ways even when the shots aren't falling. CJ McCollum was similarly solid with 20 points, seven rebounds, five dimes and two threes.

Carmelo Anthony
PF, Portland Trail Blazers

Carmelo Anthony was able to produce 15 points, 11 rebounds, two steals, a block and a pair of 3-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Rockets.

Anthony played 36 minutes, aided by the matchup, and while he shot 5-of-14 from the field he hit a huge three late to put Portland up for good. He's good for double-digit points and a handful of rebounds and threes, but he's been able to churn out six defensive stats through his three bubble games so far. If that persists, Melo will rise above late-round value in fantasy leagues.

Zach Collins
C, Portland Trail Blazers

Zach Collins continued his run of modest fantasy production in the bubble, netting eight points, seven rebounds and a steal in 27 minutes on Tuesday.

Collins just hasn't been able to bring the good for fantasy GMs, and while foul trouble wasn't a huge problem tonight against the smaller Rockets, it has been an issue against more typical opponents. It was expected that Collins could hit threes and block shots, but so far he's got one trey and zero blocks in the bubble. He's tough to trust in fantasy right now.

Anfernee Simons
SG, Portland Trail Blazers

Anfernee Simons was back in the rotation on Tuesday, getting 16 minutes but producing little of note outside a 3-pointer.

Simons was a DNP-CD in the first two games but replaced Mario Hezonja in the rotation tonight against the micro-ball Rockets. There's no fantasy appeal here unless one of Portland's star guards gets the night off.

Hassan Whiteside
C, Portland Trail Blazers

Hassan Whiteside got moving in the right direction on Tuesday, logging 17 minutes and putting up nine points, seven rebounds and a block.

Whiteside had played 17 and 15 minutes in the first two bubble games, so this is a baby step towards productivity. Still, this just isn't enough for fantasy GMs. At this rate Whiteside won't be worth plugging into lineups unless he pulls a blocks binge out of thin air.
