G – General Audiences. PG – Parental Guidance Suggested. PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned. R – Restricted. NC-17 – Adults Only. Then it jumps to XXX. Unfortunately, this is not a category for Xander Cage, but more of the Pornhub variety. That’s obviously NSFW. Well, we need to have a new category thanks to Paul George. PG NSFW.

Children can still watch because there is no nudity or violence, but his performances have been NSFW because he’s been turning defenders into mush. Like the scorpion who injects venom into its prey and liquifies the insides. Plus, all the hooting, hollering, and people trying to copy his moves in the workplace is not safe. Man, I’m still so sad that PG is not a Laker. As you’ll see later, too much crying for me in one post. Anyways, PG has been freaking unbelievable this season. He’s the #3 player for fantasy, and he’s been there consistently all season long. Over the past six games, he’s the #2 player!!! The usage rate has been 33 and he’s been averaging 23 shot attempts, 38 points, 5,8 tres, 6.8 boards, 2.8 dimes, and 2.3 steals. His performance has been porn for his owners all season long.
Here’s what else I saw last night:

Played 22 minutes off the bench. Hmmmm, since being acquired by Toronto, Gasol has played 19 and 22 minutes. Nick Nurse said that he’s going to experiment with lineups, so we need to assess when new information comes to light. Regardless, what a luxury the Raptors have and look how deep they are. That’s good for their team, but not so good for fantasy owners.

Speaking of Fred VanVleet, he’s out for at least three weeks due to a thumb injury. The Raptors signed Jeremy Lin, so he will likely soak up most of the backup point guard minutes.
I just cried watching that clip. Please Lord, make Linsanity Part Deux a thing. Outside of getting married and being blessed with two children, that three week stretch was the most memorable. I’m balling right now and my wife just walked by and started shaking her head. IDC. IDC. IDC.

Got the start and played 35 minutes. Since returning from injury, Zeller had played 23, 25, and 26 minutes prior to last night. Zeller will provide points, boards, some dimes, and a sprinkling of D stats. The efficiency from both the field and line are normally good. The on/off numbers for Kemba Walker are much better with Zeller on the court, so it would make sense for Borrego to continue giving him most of the center run.

Led the team in minutes, points, and blocks. Over the past eight games, Myles has been a top 10 player!!! The Myles experience has been an interesting one this season. There was anguish early on, which required us to walk 500 Myles and face adversity, but now we have reached a level of enlightenment.

Got the start and played 30 minutes. He should continue getting minutes and jacking up shots. The issue is the shooting efficiency. On the season, the number is 40% from the field, but over the past four games it’s been 30%, and the last two games it’s been 19%. If you can handle that, then Wes can provide some boards and dimes. The definition of a volume play.

Aaaaaaaalmost messed around. There must be a disburance in the Force. Doncic is playing a ton of minutes (close to 34), but the shooting efficiency has been suspect as of late (39% over the past four games). The tres, boards, and dimes are there, but the minimal contributions in the D cats and poor efficiency have him top 200 over the past couple of weeks.
