I will try very hard to not get political with the entire situation in Minnesota and not mention anything more than please take a look at the news, get informed on what and why happened from multiple sources and form an informed opinion about the situation that is developing in America and will soon migrate towards Europe, as is usual for many “products” throughout the years.
To change the mood to something more wholesome, here is another reason to love Steven Adams, if his gentle giant demeanor throughout the years was not enough.
This is peak male living space material, having exactly the bare minimum needed and not replacing a 12 year old equipment because it still works as intended. Obviously the contrast for a man making millions of dollars is the main point here, but it goes to show that not all NBA players share the same mentality regarding their life choices and spending habits.
Regarding last week’s suggestions, Jaylon Tyson continued starting and producing so we continue rolling with him, while Tre Johnson did exactly as I said and continued getting more minutes and has scored more than 15 points in his last 4 games. Tank commander alert is in full effect. Finally, CJ McCollum had an awesome game last night against Indiana so that is your cue to try and offload him at a good price.
Buy
Bobby Portis: Bobby “Crazy Eyes” Portis is the obvious beneficiary of Giannis missing the next couple of weeks with an injury and he showed how fantasy relevant he can be when given minutes, with 17 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists in 36 minutes against Philadelphia. Make sure he is added if available in all leagues (37% owned).
Jonas Valanciunas: He is back with 31 minutes and a good performance against Detroit and has at least 1 week of fantasy relevancy until Nikola Jokic is back so he makes a lot of sense as a streamer for this and the next week (18% owned).
Sell
Immanuel Quickley: After a modest start to the season and some missed time due to a minor injury, Immanuel Quickley is on a tear during Toronto’s road trip and is ranked as the no2 player in per game value in those last 5 games. 58% shooting from the field is not sustainable for a career 43% shooter so I would look for a top40 player in return to swap him at the peak of his value.
