Anyone in a decent-sized role on an in-tournament team: Unless you have gotten lucky and your squad is full of players on the teams still alive in the in-season tournament, your only path to extra games in Week 7 will be through targeting the low-end options on the Lakers, Suns, Kings, Pelicans, Celtics, Pacers, Knicks, […]

Al Horford (Pick Up): Another massive night from Horford with Porzingis out. He is a must-stream as long as KP is on the sidelines. What to do with Horford is pretty clear at this point. On nights when he comes off the bench, he’s useless, and on nights when a non-Porzingis starter is out, he’s […]
Jordan Poole (Buy Low in Punt FG%/Turnovers): Back to the ugly stuff for Poole after his best three-game stretch of the season. The Wizard is now ranked just outside of the top 200 in nine-category leagues. In punt FG%, I would consider buying low, especially if you are punting turnovers or are playing in an […]
Shaedon Sharpe (Sell High): He’s more of a sell than a sell high since a sell high implies that he’s been playing well. Sharpe has not, but since he had a fair amount of hype in preseason and his PPG remains solid (16.9 PPG), it may be possible to get someone reliable for him before Simons […]
Standard League Low-end Adds Kyle Anderson – Anderson is the Wolves backup to add with Jaden McDaniels out for the next week or two. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is going to start in McDaniels’ absence, but it should be Anderson who produces standard league numbers. When given heavy run, Anderson has the ability to produce a much […]

Josh Giddey: It’s been an interesting morning for Giddey. I’m not going to comment too much on the situation because the facts aren’t clear, but if you’ve been on X/Twitter, you’ve probably come across the posts related to Giddey. I would not do anything in reaction to those posts. Obviously, they could lead to trouble […]
O.G. Anuonby (Buy Low): Back-to-back quiet nights for Anuonby. It’s possible his hand is still bothering him. The Raptor is now producing just borderline top-100 numbers on the year due to a fluky start at the line (61.9 FT%) and a surprisingly weak steal rate. The FT% is not a concern. Anunoby has taken only […]
Brandon Miller: Miller is fine to hold for a few more games, but I wouldn’t consider him untouchable if a solid free agent pops up. His minutes should remain in the 30+ MPG range until Terry Rozier is back. Once Rozier is healthy, the rookie is likely going to get squeezed, at least slightly. It looks […]
Cade Cunningham (Buy Low in Punt FG%/TO): Another very rough night for Cade. Since his big opener, it’s been nothing but duds. The popcorn stats have looked nice fairly often, but almost all of his big scoring nights have been ruined by some awful efficiency, a nonexistent steal rate, and a turnover rate that is keeping […]
Deep League (14+ Team) Adds Brandin Podziemski – Podziemski likely won’t play enough when Steph Curry is healthy to be more than a so-so deep league option, but given how good he’s looked the last couple of games, he’s worth a flier in most leagues in case Kerr surprises. It’s not like the Warriors have […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. (Pick Up): Hardaway Jr. continues to play like a must-roster player. While he won’t continue to be this good, most of what he is doing is sustainable. There are a bunch of players around the league who are putting up some surprising numbers due to some unsustainable shooting, but that’s not the […]
Herb Jones: Jones is a must-roster in all leagues. He should not be viewed as a borderline player. He’ll have some very quiet nights because he’s a low-usage player, but his upside is too high to leave on the wire. As long as he’s playing minutes in the 31+ MPG player, he’ll have a shot […]
Daniel Gafford: Last night, the Wizards pulled off one of the most shameless tank jobs you will ever see. Unseld treated this game like it was taking place on April 13th instead of November 13th. Gafford was dominating the Raptors all night and Unseld rewarded him by playing him a total of zero minutes in […]
Clippers top three: Another terrible night for the Clippers. It will probably get a lot better, but who knows when. There have been no signs that a turnaround is imminent. Through four games, George is the Clipper star that I am the least worried about. He’s posted two duds and two big lines beside Harden. […]
We’ve got a good list this week. This list is light on long-term 12-team difference-makers, but it contains plenty of names that could give us top-100 numbers or so (and mid-round numbers in friendly builds) for at least a couple of weeks. If you play in a 12-team league, be sure to check out the […]
