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 […]
Nick Richards: At this point, it’s hard to consider Richards a must-hold even though we still don’t have a clear timeline for Mark Williams. The minutes have been fine most nights, but the production continues to be mediocre. Richards has only been a back-end option lately despite playing around 29 MPG. Over the last month, he’s […]
Cam Whitmore – Whitmore is coming off a dud against the lowly Pistons, but his performance in the five games leading up to the off-night makes him worth a look in 14+ team leagues. Over those five games, the rookie managed an impressive 12.2 PPG on 53.5 FG%, 1.6 3PG, 3.6 RPG, and 1.6 SPG in […]
Donte DiVincenzo (Hold): Hold for now. The minutes have been scary in two of the last three games, but that was due to the Knicks being on the right side of a blowout in both. When the Knicks are in a tight one, DiVincenzo should be in the 26 MPG range which is enough to […]

Jaden Ivey (Pick Up): Cunningham went down with a knee injury that is going to cost him at least Tuesday’s game against the Kings. Given that Cade is being ruled out a day in advance, it’s very likely that he will end up missing more than just one game. Ivey will be the biggest beneficiary of […]
Standard League Low-end Adds Kelly Olynyk – Olynyk’s role and minutes continue to be inconsistent. However, by the end of each week, his overall numbers tend to look pretty solid. Over the last month, the Canadian has been a top-100 option thanks to some good work in rebounds, assists, and steals, and some very stellar efficiency […]
Jakob Poeltl: It may be time to get excited. Poeltl has now played minutes in the mid-30s in each of the Raptors’ two games since the Anunoby trade. With the Raptors now having more spacing, which makes it easier to play Big Yak, it’s very possible that the solid minutes stick. If Poeltl is even a […]
Raptors’ New Rotation: Both Quickley and Barrett looked solid in their Raptors debut. Quickley should start going forward and is a great bet for 30+ MPG the rest of the way. He would have landed in that range last night if it weren’t for some foul trouble. The point guard picked up his fourth foul midway […]
Cam Thomas: Thomas is now droppable in 12-team leagues, although you’ll want to try to trade him first. It’s possible that someone in your league gets fooled by the 22.3 PPG. If you can get a clear long-term 12-team piece, that should end up as a solid move because Thomas is unlikely to end up […]
Standard League Low-end Adds Jaden Ivey – Ivey is currently starting and playing major minutes. Since being promoted to the starting lineup five games ago, he’s played 32.0 MPG. The extra run has allowed him to average an impressive 18.6 PPG, 1.6 3PG, 6.4 RPG, 5.2 APG, 1.2 SPG, and 1.2 BPG. He won’t continue to […]
Ausar Thompson (Drop): At this point, he can’t be stashed in H2H leagues unless you play in a very deep league. In 12- and 14-team leagues, having Ausar on your roster is like playing a man down. Things might get better when (if?) the Pistons finally get their win, but probably not significantly better. Thompson […]
