Ben McLemore Fantasy Stats

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Ben McLemore has had a perpetual green light from three-point range throughout his career. But he took that to a new level in Monday's loss to the Thunder, as he recorded 18 three-point attempts, the most during his nine years in the league. Fortunately for McLemore, he tied his season high with 28 points and eight made triples as well. Injuries have slimmed the Blazers' roster significantly, creating opportunity for the veteran after having previously served as a lightly used bench option earlier in the year. McLemore has averaged 18 PPG over his last seven contests and has been the team's No. 1 scoring option among the second unit, a role that is unlikely to change over Portland's final seven outings.

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Ben McLemore returned from health and safety protocols with a 28-point effort in Friday's blowout loss to the Lakers, shooting 6-for-14 from downtown and 9-for-22 overall from the field. He added four rebounds in 30 minutes of action off the bench. McLemore now boasts two 28-point outings in his last four appearances. He is capable of racking up points in a hurry from deep, but the playing time isn't there for him on most nights. McLemore is averaging 14 minutes for the season, logging at least 20 minutes just five times in 18 appearances.

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard Ben McLemore ended up being one of the key figures in Friday's win over the Hornets, contributing 28 points in 27 minutes off the bench with 10-for-16 shooting. He had a fun time from outside, hitting 8-for-13. McLemore also tallied two rebounds with two steals and two turnovers. He exploded after posting back-to-back pointless games, so those who had the 28-year-old in their lineups will feel like lottery winners. Jackpots don't come along very often, though, and it's unlikely that McLemore can repeat his Friday's success in the upcoming games.

Houston Rockets guard/forward Ben McLemore (ankle) is available to play Friday against the Detroit Pistons. McLemore will make his return to the court after a two-game absence, but will have a ton of competition for minutes with the Rockets getting healthier. With John Wall (knee) back in action, Kevin Porter Jr. will be the main facilitator off the bench and Kenyon Martin Jr. should also see a big role. McLemore can be safely left on waivers in season long leagues.

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) and shooting guard/small forward Ben McLemore (ankle) have both picked up questionable designations for Friday's contest against Detroit. Wall has been circling a return in the near future, while McLemore has missed the team's two previous outings. Mired in an 18-game losing streak, the Rockets' depth chart has been thrown into flux with Kevin Porter Jr. becoming the team's preeminent fantasy asset without Wall available. Sterling Brown would stand to see an elevated role as well in the case that Wall/McLemore are once unavailable. Fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off to get the final word on the duo's status as it figures to be pertinent to how Houston's rotations shake out.

Houston Rockets guard Ben McLemore (ankle) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Golden State Warriors. McLemore missed the first leg of the back-to-back as well and Kevin Porter Jr. was given a ton of minutes. With Victor Oladipo (rest) out as well, Porter should see huge usage in the backcourt Wednesday. The good news for the Rockets is they get Christian Wood (ankle) and Danuel House Jr. (knee) back after their respective injuries. It will be interesting to see how Porter and Wood can mesh together on the court moving forward.

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) and guard Ben McLemore (ankle) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. House has missed five straight games, so another absence wouldn't be shocking. Jae'sean Tate and Kevin Porter Jr. would benefit the most, assuming House is out again. McLemore missed Tuesday's game, which resulted in more minutes for Porter. Honestly, it sounds like Porter is going to be a strong option for Wednesday with the Rockets banged up.

Houston Rockets guard Ben McLemore (ankle) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Hawks. The veteran has been dealing with a sprain in his left ankle, an injury that puts his availability in jeopardy against Atlanta. If McLemore can't suit up, look for Sterling Brown and David Nwaba to benefit with an increase in minutes.

Houston Rockets guard Ben McLemore (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Friday's game, but appears healthy enough to suit up here. Danuel House (back) won't suit up, so McLemore will see more minutes coming his way. He has been playing well recently, so he could be a possible low-cost DFS option.

The Houston Rockets will be without small forward Danuel House Jr. (back) and shooting guard/small forward Ben McLemorefor Wednesday's contest against Indiana. Without the duo on the floor Monday, Jae'sean Tate and Sterling Brown continued to see minutes with the second unit, a role they figure to reprise so long as House and McLemore remain out. David Nwaba entered the starting lineup again, but he has been utilized primarily for his defensive abilities, making him a low-upside DFS asset. The next chance that the pair of sharpshooters will have at taking the floor comes Friday versus the Magic.
