Hawks plan to keep Lou Williams in bench role

The Hawks plan to bring Lou Williams off the bench once he returns from ACL surgery next season, according to USA Today's Lang Greene.

Jeff Teague will reprise his starting PG role next year, and Williams' sixth-man status is an acknowledgement that he's not big enough (6'1", 175 lbs) to defend the league's starting SGs. The market for free agent SGs has quickly dried up (Nate Robinson, Alan Anderson, Damien Wilkins and Sam Young are among the best remaining), and at the moment it seems as though John Jenkins or Jared Cunningham could be candidates for Atlanta's starting SG job.

Griffin nearly perfect on 37-point night

Blake Griffin hit 14-of-16 shots and 9-of-10 free throws in the Clippers' 112-105 win over the Suns on Monday, finishing with 37 points, six rebounds, three assists and one steal before fouling out after 32 minutes.

A reduction in highlight reel dunks has kept his multidimensional improvement off the radar for many, but the top 10-20 fantasy play has hit 70 percent of his free throws and still hasn't fully explored his ceiling.

Burke scores 23 points with five 3-pointers

Trey Burke scored 23 points on 9-of-15 shooting (including five threes) with two rebounds and four assists in 38 minutes on Monday against the Hawks.

The Hawks are struggling as much as any team in the league but owners will take the result, regardless. If Burke was floating around the waiver wire this may be your signal to pick him up, though we're not expecting a huge change in his late-round fantasy profile.

Korver scores 26 points against old Jazz team

Kyle Korver hit 8-of-12 shots and all four of his 3-point attempts to finish with 26 points, two rebounds and two steals in Monday's win over the Jazz.

Korver also hit all six of his free throws and it's not surprising that the end of his streak has brought a fresh approach to the game. He has been perfect from deep over his last two games and looks to finish his top 30-40 season on a high note.

P.J. Tucker ejected, looking at suspension

P.J. Tucker threw a punch and landed it when he and Blake Griffin tumbled to the ground, and aside from being ejected from Monday's game he's almost certainly looking at a suspension.

The only real question will be whether or not it's limited to just one game, and any absence will likely buoy the minutes of Gerald Green and the Morris twins. Tucker left the game with 14 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals, one block and an 8-of-11 mark from the line, so needless to say he was having a good night.

Middleton posts massive line in win over ORL

Khris Middleton scored 21 points on 5-of-13 shooting (including five threes) with six rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block in the Bucks' 105-98 win over the Magic on Monday.

Middleton hit all six of his free throws for good measure and the must-own player solidified his stock tonight. Ersan Ilyasova added 16 points, 11 rebounds and a three as both players are set to do serious damage in their five-gamer this week.

Oladipo productive in return from ankle issue

Victor Oladipo returned from a two-game absence on Monday against the Bucks, scoring 12 points on 5-of-6 shooting (including two threes) with three rebounds and four assists in just 19 minutes off the bench.

The efficiency and versatility helped boost the low minute total and owners that plugged him into lineups should be fairly happy with the result. We did not hear about any setbacks and owners can be cautiously optimistic that his workload will steadily increase, meaning he should be in all lineups.

Hardaway busts out of slump with 28 points

Tim Hardaway Jr. went slumpbusting in Monday's win over the lowly Sixers, scoring 28 points on 9-of-13 shooting (5-of-7 from deep, 5-of-6 from the line) in 29 minutes off the bench.

As usual, he had just two rebounds and no other stats, highlighting a major deficiency in his fantasy game. Hardaway needs to hit more than two threes per game and score at least 15 points per game before the juice comes close to being worth the squeeze for owners in deep formats. Prior to tonight's explosion he was a fantasy corpse.

Carter-Williams triple-doubles in loss to NY

Michael Carter-Williams triple-doubled in Monday's loss to the Knicks, scoring 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting (1-of-2 3PTs, 6-of-9 FTs) with 13 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals.

Carter-Williams had been struggling but the Knicks are one tasty meatball right now and he got things moving in the right direction. Unusable unless you're punting turnovers in a 9-cat league, he has struggled with just top-100 value over the last month in 8-cat leagues, too. Perhaps the Sixers' rotation has solidified to the point where they're not getting blown out on a nightly basis. We'll see.

Lowry gets back on track with 21-8-7 line

Kyle Lowry got back on track in Monday's loss to the Nets, scoring 21 points on 8-of-16 shooting (including four treys) with eight rebounds, seven assists and two steals.

Lowry entered tonight's game hitting just 27.1 percent over his last five games but that was bound to correct itself and it did just that tonight. He's been a top-10 play on the season and there's no reason it shouldn't continue down the stretch.
Mar 10 - 10:58 PM
Gortat puts up 14 points, career-high 18 rebs

Marcin Gortat scored 14 points on 7-of-15 shooting with a career-high tying 18 rebounds, four assists and no steals or blocks in Monday's loss to the Heat.

True to form the Heat gave up big numbers inside and clamped down on guys like John Wall (seven points, 2-of-8 FGs, two threes, six rebounds, eight assists, one steal, seven turnovers) and Trevor Ariza (six points, 2-of-11 FGs, one three, five boards, two steals, five turnovers). Gortat has been a top 60-70 play over the last month.

Bledsoe (knee) out on Mon, targeting Wed

Eric Bledsoe (knee) will not play against his former Clipper team on Monday, but is still expected to return to action on Wednesday against the Cavs.

Monday was always a cherry on top for owners starting Bledsoe in the Suns' four-game week, and on Wednesday he'll come off the bench but is still a compelling option for owners still pondering a decision whether or not to activate him. We'd have a hard time not plugging him into lineups even with the rust factor at play.
