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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
