Lonzo Ball Delivers Double-Double On Eve Of Birthday
Lonzo Ball dropped his first double-double of the 2019-20 season during Saturday’s loss to the Houston Rockets. Without Jrue Holiday active to cut into Ball’s time handling the ball, he compiled 10 assists while not committing a turnover in 36 minutes. In addition to setting up his teammates, Ball shot 6-for-13 overall, knocking down four triples. Over the past two games, he has been aggressive from deep, combining to shoot 21 threes. Expect that number to continue to remain high when he suits up Monday against the Golden State Warriors in what should be a game featuring a breakneck pace.

Lonzo Ball Doubtful For Wednesday Night
Lonzo Ball (wrist) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Miami. He hasn't played since February 28, and it doesn't appear a return in on the horizon. Fortunately, Josh Giddey (forearm) is expected to return from a two-game absence. Dalen Terry (calf) is also anticipated to suit up, so he should continue to see more work if Ball is officially declared out. With that in mind, Terry hasn't hit the double-digit scoring mark since March 24, making him a risky option for DFS participants.

Lonzo Ball Still Out On Tuesday
Lonzo Ball (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He was initially listed as doubtful on the injury report. Ball was expected to return from a right wrist sprain last week, but he seems to have suffered a setback. He will be sidelined for his 16th consecutive game on Tuesday. Kevin Huerter (thumb) has delivered productive performances during Ball's absence and is poised for another strong outing against Toronto after the team upgraded his status from questionable to available.

Lonzo Ball Out Again On Monday
Lonzo Ball (wrist) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ball will miss his 15th straight game due to a sprained right wrist. With Kevin Huerter (thumb) also out, 22-year-old Dalen Terry could get the nod to start this evening. Terry finished with eight points, five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes in a 120-119 loss to Dallas on Saturday. He could have added fantasy value with the potential of a heavier workload against the Thunder.

Lonzo Ball Downgraded To Out Thursday
Lonzo Ball (wrist) will not make his comeback in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ball is expected to return to the lineup this week and was initially listed as questionable for Thursday. Unfortunately, he is not ready to return, marking his 13th consecutive game missed. Kevin Huerter, who has made seven straight starts, will continue to have extra fantasy value due to Ball's absence. He has averaged 15.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals during his recent run as a starter.
