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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Bruce Brown: Brown is in the midst of a very quiet stretch after putting up some top-100 numbers in the middle of November and in early December, although his last couple of duds have been due to blowouts. In 10-team leagues, he’s a drop. He’s now producing borderline top-125 numbers which puts him in the streaming […]
Tari Eason (Pick Up): Grab him and see where this goes. The odds of the minutes sticking are low, but any time a per-minute stud pops off like this, we should take a flier just in case they do. For the minutes to stick, one of Brooks or Green has to take a hit. Green […]
Dario Saric (Pick Up): Saric is worth a flier in most leagues with Draymond likely looking at another 5+ games in the penalty box. When Draymond was suspended for five games earlier in the year, Saric averaged 14.6 PPG on 51.0 FG%, 2.2 3PG, 5.8 RPG, 3.0 APG, and 1.2 SPG. Those numbers were good enough […]
Jalen Green: At this point, he’s R.J. Barrett without the low-end FT% impact. Green is a drop in 10-team leagues and is not a must-roster in 12-team leagues. He would be a clear drop there as well, but due to his ADP and his PPG, he likely has some trade value, so if you are sick […]
Jalen Duren injury: Duren is out for at least two weeks with yet another ankle injury. The last time he was out it was Bagley who was the main beneficiary. However, with Bogdanovic back, the Pistons may go in another direction. They could bring Thompson back into the starting lineup (the smart move), or we […]
