Pacers lose to Tyrese Halliburton

Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton has been an All-Star player so far, averaging 20.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.4 blocks and 3.0 3-pointers per game. This is good for the top 10 value per game in 9-cat format. It’s safe to say the team isn’t just replacing Halliburton’s capable players. Unfortunately, it looks like the Pacers have to figure out a few things. His starting points for the team His guard suffered an apparent left knee injury during the third quarter to end Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks. After playing 27 minutes, Halliburton finished with 15 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 3-pointer.

Pacers coach Rick Carlyle said after the game that Halliburton will be re-evaluated Thursday. Which players will get the most in terms of fantasy from this development? 3%) will definitely benefit as they are both capable point guards.

Nemhardt has been a fixture in the starting lineup since early November and finished Wednesday with 11 points, three rebounds, four assists and one 3-pointer in 34 minutes. This season he is a rookie guard who offers 14 rounds worth in a nine-cat format, and was last week’s top 70 player. As for McConnell, his overall season fantasy numbers are low due to the presence of Halliburton, but he finished with 14 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals in 26 minutes off the bench. If there is, McConnell is the player most likely to be called up, and that would add value to his fantasy.

Buddy Hield doesn’t qualify as a waiver wire pickup as he’s enrolled in 91% of the Yahoo League, but he had a season-high 31 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 7 3-pointers. bottom. The absence of Haliburton means more scoring chances for Hield.

Let’s move on to some of Wednesday’s top picks:

Quentin Grimes (36%)

Grimes is registered in less than 40% of the Yahoo League, and it would be a mistake to reduce that number any further. He is now a regular in the Knicks’ starting lineup despite the return of RJ Barrett, who has missed his six games due to a lacerated left index finger. Grimes played 30 minutes and recorded 18 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 4 of his 3-pointers. For the past two weeks, Grimes has been in the top 100 in the nine cats format. He’s not an aggressive focus, as evidenced by Wednesday’s performance, but he can deliver solid fantasy value.

Deni Avdia (14%)

With Kristaps Porzingis (rib) and Daniel Gafford (ankle) both sidelined Wednesday against the Bulls, the Wizards needed someone to step up to the board. Enter Avdija, who had 9 points, 3 assists and 1 3-pointer. He’s been offering 15 rounds’ worth in a nine-cat format this season rather than a great fantasy option, but with Wednesday’s absence, it was a good night to add Avdija. Host the Knicks on the night and hope Porzingis and Gafford can play. Another Wizards player who played well Wednesday was Anthony Gill, who had 18 points with four rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes off the bench.

KJ Martin (9%)

Martin isn’t the player who started Wednesday night as an ‘add-on’, but he may be moving forward due to injury. Extra time was given to Martin. He played 27 minutes, shot 9-of-13 from the field, and finished with 3 points: 21 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 points. Given Houston’s standings, it could affect the team’s response to Porter’s leg injury. Martin has stood in for most nights when Eric Gordon is resting. Jae’Sean Tate (14%) is also notable. If Porter misses extra time, his playmaking ability should get him more time.

Tory Craig (17%)

Wednesday’s big hit in Denver was the Suns, especially since Chris Paul (hip), Devin Booker (groin), DeAndre Ayton (ankle) and Landry Shamet (leg/hip) were all out. was a “schedule loss” for Craig has provided 11 rounds worth of him in the nine-cat format this season and was a top 100 player last week. He started Wednesday and played 23 minutes, scoring 16 points and recording 5 rebounds and 3 3-pointers. Of course you’d love to see some achievements in the assists and defensive categories, but I’ll take what Craig was able to offer Wednesday night, and the Suns will be in Minnesota Friday night, so I’m sure he’s going to mile his We will see if he can further develop his City performances.

Narlens Noel (2%)

The Pistons again lost Isiah Stewart (shoulder) and Jalen Duren (ankle), keeping Noel in the starting lineup for one more night. His four other starters for the Pistons each scored at least his 18 points, but in the 135-118 win over the Timberwolves, Noel scored three steals and blocked four of his shots. and held it back defensively. A veteran he’s center he also handled 2 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, but his defensive stats weren’t enough for fantasy either in his league or in his DFS tournament a few brave souls rolled the dice on Noel. That’s why. He’s basically the Pistons’ only healthy big man, so if Stewart and Duren miss Friday’s game against the Pelicans, it would make sense to jump on Noel’s bandwagon.
