Remind me how this Hawks team is 5th in the East? OK, Trae Young is out, but I just can’t see it. Man, what have Miami and Boston been doing? In other news, Collins continues his campaign to be the most solid but underwhelming fantasy asset possible.

In a game set in 2021, none of the players cracked 20 points, and the winning team just barely got to 100. Yikes. Bey found ways to contribute other than scoring, with eight boards, a steal, and a block.

Jackson tied with Jerami Grant to lead all scorers with 18, going 7-12 from the field with 3 tres. Unfortunately, the minutes are sporadic, as he’s gotten 25, 14, 33, 18, and 28 in his last five games. Last night’s minutes may have had something to do with rookie Killian Hayes being in foul trouble. He’s a little too sporadic to trust.

Schroder continues to impress with top-60 numbers over the last two weeks of NBA action. In that time, he’s averaging just shy of nine assists.

Okeke has been a bit hit or miss since Vucevic was shipped to Chicago and he took over starting duties. He can hit threes and record a steal a game, but the boards are light for a big man.

The steals have dried up, but DeMar continues to roll with elite points, rebounds, and assists while dominating the percentage cats. The Spurs do have a back-to-back set next week when most fantasy leagues are in their finals, so we’ll see if Pop decides to rest some of his guys as he’s been known to do.

Did DeRozan teach Murray the art of ignoring the 3-pt line? Murray was uncharacteristically efficient from the field today and pulled down a career-high 17 boards in a Spurs win.

It took a real stinker from Julius Randle for the Knicks to finally lose, snapping a 9-game win streak. Rose had other ideas, but couldn’t make it happen down the stretch.

Birch doesn’t rebound well for a big, but he can rack up the stocks in a hurry. With Boucher out for the foreseeable future, this is a place to look if you need the stats.

The 42nd-ranked fantasy player on the year. Lately, he’s turned it up a notch, averaging top-10 caliber numbers over the last week. If anything, the arrival of Aaron Gordon has lit a fire under the neophyte, though his upsurge in production could also be attributed to the demise of Jamal Murray.

Yep, it looks like, with De’Aaron Fox sidelined, Haliburton will be lightning in a bottle. He’s been quiet the past month, but it’s time to unleash the beast. Could potentially play himself into a ROY by season’s end, if LaMelo doesn’t have anything to say about it.
