John Konchar (Pick Up): Konchar picked up some extra minutes with Ziaire Williams out with a hip injury and could continue to see minutes in the 30 MPG range now that Williams is expected to miss at least a month. When Konchar is playing close to 30 MPG, he is a must-add in 12-team setups. The […]
Kelly Olynyk (Pick Up): Olynyk is a must-grab with Poeltl expected to miss at least one game with a dislocated pinky. The pinky is not fractured, so Poeltl may not miss a significant amount of time, but with Yak getting ruled out a day in advance, there is a decent chance that it ends up […]
G.G. Jackson: Jackson is on way, way too many rosters. He’s a high-upside points and threes streamer, but that’s all he is. At the moment, he does not have the game to be more than that. It feels like Jackson has been valuable as of late, but then you look at his averages and you […]
Ausar Thompson: Back-to-back 35-minute games for Ausar. That’s great to see, but he remains more of a back-end option/streamer than a must-hold in 12-team leagues. It’s hard to trust the minutes and the production has been somewhat underwhelming. Over his last five, Thompson has produced 10.6 PPG, 0.6 3PG, 5.6 RPG, 2.4 APG, 1.4 SPG, and […]
Trae Young injury: Young is out for at least four weeks with a finger ligament tear. His absence will likely extend beyond that as he’s set to be re-evaluated in four weeks and players rarely come back immediately after being re-evaluated. In Roto leagues, he’s a hold since you can just bench him and wait […]
Standard League Low-end Adds Grant Williams – Williams has looked like a completely different player in Charlotte. His efficiency has been very solid and his usage rate has gone through the roof. Over his four appearances with his new team, the forward has averaged 18.8 PPG, 3.0 3PG, 5.5 RPG, 2.0 APG, and 0.8 SPG while […]

Royce O’Neale (Pick Up in 14+ team leagues): O’Neale should also benefit from the Beal injury. He should be the Suns’ sixth man as long as Beal is out. That could mean 28+ MPG for the veteran which is a enough run to turn him into a helpful source of threes, rebounds, and assists. Through 51 […]
Kelly Olynyk (Pick Up): The minutes haven’t been amazing since the trade, but the production has been very solid. In his two appearances with his hometown team, Olynyk has averaged 14.0 PPG, 1.0 3PG, 5.5 RPG, 2.5 APG, 3.0 SPG, and 0.5 BPG in just 21.7 MPG. We’ve seen Olynyk blow up down the stretch on […]
Standard League (12 Team) Strong Adds Andre Drummond – The big minute outing against the Wolves was not that exciting. We could chalk that one up to the matchup. However, the 31 minutes against a Memphis team lacking quality frontcourt options should get our attention. That was a surprise, as we haven’t seen that much of […]
Amen Thompson (Pick Up): With VanVleet out until the break, Amen is a 12-team add. However, he’s not for every team. There are going to be some very useful things in his line for the next few games and some very damaging things which makes him more of a matchup-based add than a blanket must-add. As […]

Bruce Brown/Gary Trent/Dennis Schroder: It is very likely that at least two, if not all three, of the Raptor wings are on the move Thursday. Trent is expiring and Brown and Schroder have been generating interest around the league. Brown should be held through the deadline. There are a lot of spots out there where […]
