Has anyone made the “Ayo, I’m tired of using technology” line for Dosunmu yet? Justin Timberlake aside, Dosunmu has been a lot of fun to watch, so Cry Me a River if you don’t agree.
OK, for real, I’m done.
The scoring is going to be inconsistent, as we’ve seen and as is expected from a rookie, but when he’s on, he’s on. He’s playing big minutes and the Bulls are going to continue to rely on him as they look to position themselves for the playoffs. Buy in on Dosunmu and enjoy the run.
No Kawhi Leonard. No Paul George.No problem. Amir Coffey and Luke Kennard (seriously) are running the show for the Clippers, and the former has become a must-roster player for fantasy purposes.
He’s starting regularly and is putting up top 60 numbers over the last month and top 40 over the last two weeks. He’s put up 48 points over his last two games, with six made 3-pointers, 11 boards, six assists and four STOCKS.
His stock is up moving forward.
Anfernee Simons (PG/SG – POR)
Without Damian Lillard in tow, Simons is doing a phenomenal job at filling the gap. Well, as best as one can for someone like Lillard. He’s posting top 30 value over the last month, and he’s playing major minutes each night. He’s yet to have a game since the start of January where he hasn’t scored in double-figures. You’re looking at a top 50 player for the rest of the season. Well, as long as Lillard is out.
Sell
Stephen Curry (PG – GSW)
A lot of times with sell, we are looking at players that we are looking to get rid of. If not, we’d be buying them, right? Well, in this case, you’re not buying The Chef, because no one is going to be selling him. But, Curry has been off for the last month or so.
He’s just the 66th-ranked player over the last month, and a lot of it has to do with his 36.6 field goal percentage over that same time. But we know who the real Steph Curry is. He’s a top 10 player – at very worst – who is in the midst of a cold streak.
We’re selling this performance and fully buying a rebound the rest of the season.
Aaron Gordon (SF/PF – DEN)
Besides being a Ja Morant and Herb Jones fan, I think what I’m best known for within the hoops conversation is my dislike for Gordon. He’s fine, of course, but he’s an overrated player for real-life and fantasy purposes. Gordon has actually been pretty good of late, posting seventh-round value for fantasy managers over the last couple of weeks.
But we aren’t falling for it again, folx, right?
Gordon is consistently inconsistent, and valuing him as anything more than a mid-round player is a mistake. If someone is a fan of him in your league, I’m selling him.
Kessler Edwards (SF – BKN)
I preach about the importance of opportunity in fantasy, and that doesn’t change here. Edwards is still getting major run for the Nets with Kevin Durant out, but he’s just not doing much with the opportunity.
Three games ago, he had 15 points, which was great. But in four of his last five games, he’s combined for 24 points.
He’s better suited for points leagues than he is category leagues, but he’s too volatile to trust on a game-by-game basis.
