Kyle Lowry logs 41 minutes; watch out for rest day on Tuesday

Kyle Lowry logged 41 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Bulls, scoring 33 points on 10-of-20 shooting (2-of-5 3PTs, 11-of-13 FTs) with 11 rebounds, seven assists and three steals.

Beat writers are openly tweeting about the potential for Lowry to miss Tuesday’s game against the Bucks, so looking at Cory Joseph (six points, two rebounds, zero assists, 26 minutes) as a low-end speculative add is a strong move for the gambling owner with a little bit of foresight.

Landry Shamet
SG, Los Angeles Clippers

Landry Shamet was quiet in Thursday's limited minutes, finishing with five points on six shot attempts despite playing 27 minutes.

Both Shamet and Lou Williams were supposed to be limited but Shamet managed to play 27 minutes in this contest. Both will be hard to trust in the short term for fantasy as they get their minutes monitored. Williams took nine shots in 20 minutes to put up his six points and three assists.

Russell Westbrook
PG, Houston Rockets

According to coach Mike D'Antoni, the Rockets are optimistic that Russell Westbrook (bruised right quad) will be able to play on Sunday, but he says that team will be cautious with him.

Westbrook has been playing well for the Rockets prior to missing Thursday's game with this injury, so the team medical staff will want him to be ready to take the court before clearing him. They need him to be healthy and ready to blast off in the playoffs and that's going to be their top priority.

Jeff Green
SF, Houston Rockets

Jeff Green was effective yet again off the Rockets' bench on Thursday, chipping in 15 points on 6-of-13 shooting, plus three 3-pointers, four boards, three dimes and two steals in 27 minutes.

This is the second straight game that Green has cracked the double-digit scoring barrier, making him worth an add in 14-16 team restart leagues. It's beneficial to him that the Rockets like to keep a tight rotation, so ride him while he's hot.

Ben McLemore
SG, Houston Rockets

Ben McLemore started on Thursday for Russell Westbrook (quad) and put up an impressive effort, recording 20 points on 7-of-13 shooting, including five 3s, plus four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block.

As long as Westbrook stays on the sidelines with his bruised right quad, McLemore is worth a look for a short-term boost in fantasy value. He's streaky, so don't be stunned if he falls off a cliff and drag's your team along with him, so act accordingly.

James Harden
PG, Houston Rockets

James Harden kept his foot on the gas in a 113-97 win over the top-seeded Lakers on Thursday, flirting with a triple-double as he notched 39 points (11-of-19 FGs, 12-of-12 FTs), eight rebounds and 12 assists.

The Beard worked extra hard tonight with Russell Westbrook (quad) sitting this one out. Harden also hit five 3s, swiped three steals and blocked one shot for an overall well-rounded line. He's been playing at an insane level since the NBA resumed the 2019-20 season and there's no reason to expect him to slow down as he tries to improve Houston's seeding heading into the playoffs.
