Lakers take down Rockets in NBA simulation

In a simulated game that featured four All-Stars and four players with salaries above $10K, every single one managed to turn in an underwhelming performance. Sometimes that's just the luck of the draw. Los Angeles defeated Houston, 124-110, this afternoon despite the fact that both LeBron James ($11,800; 49.75 DKFP) and Anthony Davis ($10,800; 43.25 DKFP) were on the low-end of the spectrum when it came to their potential fantasy outputs. It certainly helped matters that James Harden's ($12,400; 44.25 DKFP) and Russell Westbrook's ($10,400; 38.0 DKFP) stat lines were also less than ideal. For instance, despite exceeding 45.0 DKFP in 84.6% of his 61 starts in 2019-20, Harden came up short of the mark on Tuesday.

Sources: The NBA has given its franchises guidelines for the pre-Draft process during coronavirus pandemic, stating teams are allowed to conduct virtual meetings with prospects but prohibited from in-person workouts or requesting/watching live video.
