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 […]
Deep League (14+ Team) Adds Mo Bamba – Reed is the priority add in Philadelphia, but Bamba could prove to be useful too. He’s been behind Reed all year, but that could change if he starts to play well. For now, Bamba looks like he’s going to play about 18 MPG as the Sixers’ backup five. […]
Deandre Ayton (Sell High): Another monster game from Ayton who has started to try a little harder lately. This was the big man’s fifth early-round line in a row. It will be a tough move to pull off, but I would be trying to sell high. It’s hard to trust his current effort level and it’s […]
Andrew Wiggins (Pick Up): Back-to-back first-round lines for Wiggins. He’s not a sure thing, so don’t be dropping anyone safe for him, but if you do have an open roster spot, he’s worth a roll of the dice. Draymond’s return has coincided with a big uptick in value for Steph and Kuminga. It’s possible that having […]
Derrick White (Buy Low): You don’t want to make the offer after this game, but if White does put up another dud sometime this week, send over a buy-low offer and see if you get a response. The combo guard is slumping at the moment and will likely come cheaper than he should. Over the last […]
Buddy Hield (Hold): Things are not looking great for Buddy. He’s now played 25 minutes or less in four straight games and has failed to hit the 20-minute mark in his last two outings. I would hold until we see what the rotation looks like with Haliburton in there, but if the minutes continue to be […]
Standard League (12 Team) Strong Adds Josh Hart – Julius Randle’s separated shoulder should move Hart back into the standard league conversation. With Randle out, Hart’s minutes should jump into the low-to-mid-30s. With that much run, he has the potential to put up a big number in rebounds while providing, low-end but useful numbers elsewhere. Hart […]

Pacers Role Players: The Pacers’ rotation beyond Haliburton, Siakam, and Turner looks like it could be a headache. Buddy got big minutes in the first two games after the trade but barely played in the second half last night. Nesmith got heavy run here but his minutes were in the mid-to-high-20s against the Blazers and […]
Jalen Suggs: Suggs continues to slump but at least we got a couple of steals last night. In 12-team leagues, I would still be holding. In 10-team leagues, he’s expendable. Suggs hasn’t played like a 10-team option for a while now. Thanks to a major dip in his previously elite steal rate, the combo guard has […]
Mason Plumlee (Pick Up): The quiet night for Plumlee was tied to the matchup. Day’Ron Sharpe is out right now and the Nets don’t have a backup C. That led to a bunch of small-ball lineups from the Nets that the Clippers decided to match. In punt FT%, he remains a grab in 12-team leagues. If […]
Deep League (14+ Team) Adds Zach Collins – Collins is on the verge of return and should be added in deeper leagues. His ceiling is capped as long as Victor Wembanyama is healthy, but the veteran should have a large enough role to post top-175 numbers and a line that is much more well-rounded than most […]
Jeremy Sochan (Pick Up): Sochan continues to impress. The scoring wasn’t there last night, but we’ll take those juicy supporting stats. The Spur has now produced borderline top-100 numbers over the 30 days and has been even better than that over the last two weeks. Over the last 14 days, he’s averaged an intriguing 12.4 PPG, […]

G.G. Jackson (Pick Up in 14+ team leagues): I wouldn’t trust Jackson in standard settings just yet, but those in deeper leagues should feel free to take the plunge. The rookie could be a decent source of points, threes, and rebounds on a Grizzlies’ team starved for offense. However, his overall value should end up being […]
