Edwards received 10 of the 14 votes for MVP of the All-Star Game, with Kawhi Leonard receiving the other four. Edwards’ highest-scoring game was the first matchup with Team World, which ended with a Scottie Barnes game-winning triple after Edwards forced overtime with a three-pointer of his own. They lost to Team USA Stars in the second game of the night, but they got revenge in the championship by winning 47-21. Edwards has had his best season as a scorer thus far and will look to build on this performance with a strong finish to this season.

Lillard’s score of 29 in the final round was enough to beat Kon Knueppel, who had 17, and Devin Booker, who had 27. The 35-year-old point guard won the three-point contest for the third time in his career, tying Larry Bird and Craig Hodges for most in NBA history. Lillard is out for the season after rupturing his left Achilles during last year’s playoffs.

Clingan became the first Trail Blazer since Scottie Pippen in 2003 to have a game with at least 20 points, at least 15 rebounds, at least five assists and no turnovers. The 21-year-old center has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. Clingan looks like a great fantasy center for years to come.

Holiday’s 31 points in Thursday’s win over the Jazz were his most in a game since the 2023 season. The 35-year-old point guard was also just a rebounds and three assists away from a triple-double. While Holiday was able to turn back the clock against the Jazz, he’s provided just 11th-round per game value over the last two weeks heading into the All-Star break.

Despite the outcome of Wednesday’s game and the five turnovers, this was an encouraging performance for Henderson. The third-year guard shot the ball well from the field and the foul line, including a 3-of-5 night from beyond the arc. Scoot’s minutes are still being limited, as he played 19 on Wednesday, but that will likely change after the All-Star break. The Trail Blazers visit Utah on Thursday, but fantasy managers should assume that Henderson will sit for injury management reasons.

Krejčí is most valuable to category league managers needing points and three-pointers, and he came through on Wednesday. The 17 points and three three-pointers were the most in a game for him since arriving in Portland. However, the limited production in the other fantasy-relevant categories makes Krejčí little more than a specialist in deep leagues. Portland completes its pre-break portion of the schedule on Thursday against the Jazz.

On a night when the Timberwolves were able to frustrate Deni Avdija (11/5/3/1) and limit him to 3-of-14 shooting, Holiday did what he could to pick up the slack. He’s scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances, and the 23 in Wednesday’s defeat were the most in a game for the veteran guard since October 27. However, while the 23/5/5 line with five three-pointers was solid, it was accompanied by six turnovers. Holiday did play both legs of Portland’s most recent back-to-back, but he should still be considered questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz.

However, his 28 minutes against the 76ers could have been higher, but Portland was in firm command early in the fourth quarter.

Dosunmu scored 11 points in his debut for Minnesota on Sunday, and 24 hours after, he was able to showcase why he’ll make a big difference for the Timberwolves this season. He’s an excellent depth guard, especially on the defensive end, but it was the offensive impact in this game that was impressive.

As expected, Dosunmu was part of the Timberwolves’ bench rotation in his first appearance on Sunday. And his 25 minutes led the Timberwolves reserves, one more than Naz Reid. Things could change somewhat once the Timberwolves re-sign Mike Conley, but Ayo should not struggle for playing time. Unfortunately, not much has changed regarding his fantasy value.
