Troy Brown Jr. scores 16 in 31 minutes vs. Nets

Troy Brown Jr.
SF, Washington Wizards

Troy Brown Jr. had another quality game, providing 16 points (6-of-15 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes in Summer League on Monday vs. the Nets.

Brown has been looking the way you'd hope a 15th pick would play after a year of learning the NBA game. With the thin depth chart in Washington, he could be looking at big minutes and a decent role that makes him worth watching closely in standard fantasy leagues.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Jusuf Nurkic
C, Portland Trail Blazers

Jusuf Nurkic was great in Tuesday's 110-102 win over the Rockets, scoring 18 points while corralling 19 points, three assists, a steal and three more blocks.

As if Nurkic couldn't get back into the hearts of fantasy GMs fast enough, he also went 6-for-6 from the charity stripe. He's elevating the Blazers to a serious threat in the West, and a healthy Nurkic makes them a dreadful draw for any team if they manage to get into the postseason. Expect early-round numbers from here on out given the condensed player pool, and he may still have some upside to scratch if he can limit his fouls.

Gary Trent Jr.
SG, Portland Trail Blazers

Gary Trent Jr. had another excellent game in the bubble, finishing Tuesday's win with 16 points, a steal and four more 3-pointers in 35 minutes off the bench.

Trent has now canned 15 threes in his three Orlando games, playing 26, 34 and now 35 minutes in the process. Terry Stotts is running an eight-man rotation and Trent is soaking up huge minutes as a primary perimeter defender. He's more than just a catch-and-shoot guy too, as Trent busted out a few step-backs against the Rockets tonight. If he's still free in any of your resumption leagues, he shouldn't be — even if he's bound to cool off after shooting .548 in the bubble so far.

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.
