12 Steven Adams C

Adams finished with nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 102-95 loss to the Jazz.

Adams played just under half the game as he struggled with foul trouble, ultimately taking a seat early after fouling out in the fourth quarter. He put up decent per-minute numbers, but he simply wasn't on the court enough to make a large impact in the effort to contain Rudy Gobert. Against one of the toughest defensive units in the league, Adams perhaps has the most daunting matchup, but he'll look to bounce back in Game 3 Saturday.

Adams collected 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes in Sunday's 116-108 victory over the Jazz.

Adams shot nearly 50 percent Sunday night en route to a solid Game 1 stat line. The interesting thing to note was the Jazz's strategy in the final minutes to hack Adams every time he touched the ball, so his free-throw shooting will be critical in the series, and will allow him to earn some free points if the Jazz continue this plan.

Adams supplied 24 points (9-12 FG, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 137-123 win over the Grizzlies.

Adams was efficient as a scorer, even sinking most of his free throws. He finishes the regular season with 13 performances in which he scored 20-plus points, this after doing so seven times in 2016-17 (and not once before that). The fifth-year 24-year-old center has come a long way, though he'll have his work cut out for him in round one of the playoffs against one of the frontrunners for Defensive Player of the Year (Rudy Gobert).

Adams generated 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block across 36 minutes in Sunday's 109-104 win over the Pelicans.

Adams checked in as the fourth option offensively Sunday behind the trio of Russell Westbrook, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony, but he still found his way to his fourth double-double in the last five contests. The fifth-year big also bounced back from a rare two-game shooting mini-slump during which he'd drained just eight of 19 attempts, a rarity for a player like Adams who takes so many high-percentage shots. Given his typically consistent offensive performances and above-average work on the glass, he should continue rewarding owners for the duration of the fantasy postseason.

Adams finished with 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds and one block in 37 minutes during Thursday's 103-99 loss to San Antonio.

Adams put together another double-double, however, was uncharacteristically inefficient from the field. He continues to be the linchpin of the Thunder defense and goes largely unappreciated for his work on both ends of the floor. His rebounding has been on the increase over the last two weeks, only adding to his already solid fantasy value.
