Beef Stew is running away with the starting 5 job in Detroit as the season winds down. Casey has been resting his vets in Plumlee and Ellington and as a result, Stewart has been feasting. 8 blocks in his last four games alone, to go with an average of 14.25 boards in those four outings. He’s going to make a huge difference in fantasy playoffs for those who foresaw the downfall of Plumlee.

Over the last two weeks Hartenstein is putting up top-100 numbers, most of that on the back of 7.1 boards and 1.4 blocks a game. That’s in just shy of 20 MPG too. Unfortunately, playing behind Love and Allen means he’s unlikely to see much more than that, thus capping him at late-round value.

Vooch has been essentially the same fantasy player since moving to Chi-town, with slightly inflated FG% and BLKs, and decreased rebounds. Still a fringe first-rounder, to the surprise of no one.

The Celtics dropped their six-game win streak, largely on the back of Tatum’s shooting woes, but Brown was rock solid, going 10-15 from the field and contributing a handful of peripheral stats.

The fact that people were doubting Curry’s form at the beginning of the season is hilarious. How many times does the two-time MVP have to prove that he’s a truly transcendental player? At some points in the game it looked like Steph was in the driveway giving Seth buckets before school, that’s how effortless it was, or at least appeared to be.

Green’s been steadily ramping up for some time now, putting up top-60 value in the last two weeks of play. In that time, he’s making 3.3 threes a game while chipping in 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks. Also, practically no turnovers.

With Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis out, Goga entered the starting lineup and promptly returned 5 shots to their senders in San Antonio. He also went 1-7 from the field and sprained his ankle, so his eminence may be short-lived.

Bazley’s pre-draft stock was sky-high but his wings were made of highly combustible metal. Recently, he’s been reintegrated into an OKC lineup that doesn’t feature Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and has seemed to benefit from the change. Unfortunately, the stocks aren’t going to appear out of nowhere and the shooting is still poor, so his upside remains capped.

Beal has scored 30+ in each of his last 5 outings, which shouldn’t come as a surprise since he’s averaging north of 30 on the season. Beal’s shooting 48.4% from the field, a career-high, and a big reason why he’s a bonafide first-rounder this year.

I’m so enamored with Mikal, feels like I write about him every week, even over his more decorated/highly-regarded teammates in Ayton, Paul, and Booker. The picture of efficiency, Bridges went 5-7 from deep on his way to 21 points and a block. He rarely stuffs the stat sheet, but he’s always giving you something valuable, be it steals, threes, blocks, or just plain efficient shooting with a low turnover rate.

This was a nail-biter which saw Jrue playing 40 minutes, tying him for the game-high. He did a little bit of everything on the court, and is right there with Paul in the top-30 range.

With Valanciunas out, Tillman double-doubled while also putting up 2 threes, 2 steals, and a block. That being said, JV was out with a concussion and will be back sooner rather than later. There’s also JJJ on the horizon, though that horizon seems to keep getting further and further away. Kidding—sort of.

In terms of the Grizzlies’ backcourt rotation, Melton seems to be the guy to own over Bane, Brooks, and Allen for all-around production. He has been faced with some injury woes, but when he’s healthy he can produce defensive stats in a hurry. He can score and pass the ball, too, though the numbers he puts up there are nothing special for a guard.

Jingles has been quietly registering top-70 value in the past two weeks, averaging 3.4 made threes to go with 6.0 assists a game. Hard to rely on that kind of production from Joe in the fantasy playoffs, but as long as expectations aren’t too high, he should suffice.
