Maurice Harkless Scores Season-High 26 Points Versus Lakers
6 years agoPortland Trail Blazers small forward Maurice Harkless had a big game against the Lakers on Tuesday, scoring a season-high 26 points and wrapping things up with a game-winning triple. He added eight rebounds and matched his career high with four blocks, shooting 9-for-14 from the field and 7-for-8 at the line. Harkless and the Blazers get one more regular-season game on Wednesday against the pacy Kings. They can move past Houston for the third seed in the West, so everybody should be amped up for the game. Harkless, who has had health issues throughout the season, might take a back seat after logging 34 minutes on Tuesday.

Maurice Harkless Returns Saturday, Draws Starting Duties
3 years agoSacramento Kings power forward Maurice Harkless (ankle) has been given the green light to take the floor for Saturday's game against the Wizards. Harkless missed one outing due to a sprained right ankle, with his return pushing Chimezie Metu back to the second unit. The veteran kicked off February with a strong three-game stretch that saw him score in double figures each time out, although his DFS ceiling remains capped due to the team's crowded frontcourt.

Harrison Barnes, Maurice Harkless Practice On Monday
3 years agoSacramento Kings forwards Harrison Barnes (foot) and Maurice Harkless (knee) both were able to practice on Monday. Barnes has missed five straight games, while Harkless has missed the last four contests. Their absence has allowed Chimezie Metu to move into the starting five. Also, Marvin Bagley III has been getting extended playing time with the second unit. The Kings don't play again until Wednesday, so Barnes and Harkless have time to rest and prepare. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday for another update.

Maurice Harkless Questionable Friday
3 years agoSacramento Kings forward Maurice Harkless (hip) is questionable to play against the Utah Jazz on Friday. Harkless started in the season opener on Wednesday and likely got banged up in his 22 minutes of play. Harkless does not have much fantasy appeal, even as a starter, but his absence would likely pave the way to more minutes for Buddy Hield and Terence Davis. Hield played well in the opener, scoring 17 points and hitting four threes in 30 minutes off the bench.
