Enrolled in 50-60% of leagues:

Dillon Brooks (SG/SF – MEM)

Brooks has been frustrating this season, especially in terms of efficiency. While he wasn’t the most efficient scorer given the number of shots (which are considered bad shots), he wasn’t the shooter for his 39.7% from the field either. Despite the depth of Memphis, Brooks is deeply involved in each game and contributes all the way, even as he struggles. He’s been playing for rewards this offseason, and I have to think he has better days ahead of him in the scoring department.

Brandon Clarke (SF/PF – MEM)

In the first game without Stephen Adams, Clarke appeared in the starting line-up. We can expect to see that in the next three weeks or so. Especially against a team with a small lineup.As expected, Clarke had 19 points and 8 rebounds in 32 minutes. He’s one more lob threat that the fast-paced Grizzlies will take advantage of, and a must-see player in Adams’ absence.

Enrolled in 30-49% of leagues:

Jonathan Isaac (SF/PF – ORL)

Yes, I wrote the other day that I would consider doing business with Isaac. That’s true, because there was an opportunity to trade him after his head-turning-season debut. However, he is under the carry-over limit on Wednesday and will be there for quite some time to come. When you think about it, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enroll him.

Seth Curry (PG/SG – BKN)

Despite Kyrie Irving’s show in Brooklyn without Kevin Durant, Curry had a revenge game of sorts Wednesday night in Philadelphia. The former Sixer recorded his season-high 32 points, including hitting seven of his 3-pointers. Despite being off the bench, he scored in double figures in 10 of 11 games in January.

Enrolled in 15-29% of leagues:

Deni Avdia (SF/PF – WAS)

In two games since Rui Hachimura was traded to the Lakers, Avdija has averaged 12.5 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.5 stocks (steals and blocks) in 31 minutes per game. He had a tough night off the floor, hitting 30.8% of his shots on Wednesday, but usage and minutes are out there for the third-year player to take a step forward for fantasy his manager. is in Much has been said about Washington players not developing, but Avdija can be an accumulator for us going forward.

Drone Light (PG/SG – WAS)

We love bad team players. Because they tend to look long and produce a lot of wasted time. That’s Wright this year, a top 50 player for the past two weeks and a top 100 player last month. He’s delivering solid scoring and assist numbers, and even with Monte Morris perfectly healthy, Wright can still get enough running at night to be a useful fantasy player.

Enrolled in 0-14% of leagues:

Jericho Sims (C – NYK)

Sims is playing the majority of the Knicks now that Mitchell Robinson is injured. He’s contributed usable points and rebounds in the last three games, and from the field he’s shot perfect 12-for-12.

Jae Crowder (SF/PF – PHX)

We’ve been waiting all season for the Suns to trade Crowder. That means Crowder will soon find a new team. He never made a huge fantasy difference, but with just 3% of the roster, he does offer some value in deeper leagues for those who can afford to wait to find a new landing spot. To do.
