Sports is all about emotions and the constant swift between them. Pressure to disappointment or happiness, angst to total excitement or sadness. The following clip of a young Cavs fan participating in the half time half court shot has it all.
From the hubris of the LeBron chalk throw, to the disapproval of Darius Graland behind him, to the expectation of failure only for it to be trampled by the excitement as the shot goes in. We love sports…
Regarding last week’s suggestions, both Max Christie and Donovan Clingan provided standard league value and they are safe bets to continue doing so, while Toumani Camara was even better, indicated by a +13% ownership jump and should be rostered in all leagues.
Buy
Santi Aldama: Despite not starting, Santi Aldama has found ways to be impactful enough for the Grizzles to earn 28 minutes during the last 2 weeks and is providing top40 value. His across the board contributions make him an enticing pick off the wire and even if continued top40 value might be a reach, his stats can provide a sneaky boost that bigger names do not, so give him a long look (48% owned).
Zach Collins: It might be just a short term add, but with both Nikola Vucevic and Jalen Smith out the only center in Chicago is Zach Collins, who started and played 28 minutes against a sad Philadelphia team and provided 19 points, with 5 rebounds and a triple. As long as he is getting minutes his game is fantasy friendly enough to warrant an add (3% owned).
Sell
Goga Bitadze: The dominant stint that Goga Bitadze had at the middle of the season is now only a distant memory as his minutes have been relegated to backup only. He also lost his starting spot during the last week, which further solidifies him as a blocks streamer but not a must have player, especially with fantasy playoffs right around the corner (31% owned).
De’Andre Hunter: Early returns from his move to Cleveland suggest that his playing time and usage will take a hit, as expected and his fantasy profile is too one dimensional to stay as a must roster player. He can be a triples and points streamer but it is difficult to see him be more than that in a very talented and crowded rotation in Cleveland so if he is your least valuable player, I would prefer streaming the spot (39% owned).
