Top NBA Fantasy Performers From Friday

Stephen Curry had another MVP-like outing in a rout against Memphis on Friday.
Reggie Jackson – PG – Detroit Pistons
(Vs. Orlando) 26 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, 9-19 FG (47 percent), 3 turnovers

Jackson notched another triple-double on Friday night, and has seems to have righted the ship on his shooting in his last several games. Greg Monroe is still out, but Jackson is producing just fine without him, and will continue to do so, especially if he can keep his shooting above 40 percent.

Jackson is averaging 20.8 points, 10.2 assists, 7.8 rebounds, 44 percent shooting, and 2.6 turnovers per game in his last five.

DeAndre Jordan – C – Los Angeles Clippers
(Vs. Philadelphia) 17 points, 20 rebounds, 2 blocks, 6-10 FG (60 percent), 0 turnovers

You’ve got to take the good along with the bad with Jordan. His 20 rebounds is obviously impressive, but his free-throw shooting is downright awful, as he’s made 7-of-27 in his last five games.

Jordan is averaging 11.8 points, 16.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 3.4 blocks, 1.0 steals, 68 percent shooting, and 1.4 turnovers per game in his last five.

Al Jefferson – C – Charlotte Hornets
(Vs. Washington) 31 points, 10 rebounds, 14-24 FG (58 percent), 0 turnovers

In spite of knee soreness, Jefferson has produced, and is worth starting in all formats, although you might want to keep an eye on his status over the next few weeks.

Jefferson is averaging 18.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1 block, 1.2 assists, 48 percent shooting, and 1.6 turnovers per game in his last five.

James Harden – SG – Houston Rockets
(Vs. Minnesota) 33 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 5 steals, 9-19 FG (47 percent), 3 turnovers

Harden had yet another night full of big numbers on Friday, hitting the 30+ point mark for the third time in his past five while going 6-of-12 from the three-point line. His five steals were a nice added bonus as well, and his 9-of-10 mark from the free-throw line was a much better outing than his 6-of-9 from the game previous.

Harden is averaging 33.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1 block, 1.8 steals, 42 percent shooting, and 3.6 turnovers per game in his past five.

Stephen Curry – PG – Golden State Warriors
(Vs. Memphis) 38 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 block, 3 steals, 12-22 FG (54 percent), 4 turnovers

Curry has proven all year why he is a top-three fantasy player. Friday night was his second consecutive 30+ points, 10+ assists game, and he hasn’t missed a free-throw since March 9th. His three-point percentage is hovering around 50 percent in his last five games, even with a 2-of-10 outing thrown in.
