Hayward just continues to produce. It helps to have two willing passers in Devonte’ Graham and LaMelo Ball.
Devonte’ Graham
FG | 3PT | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS |
7-15 | 2-8 | 3-4 | 2 | 7 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 19 |
Finally had a good shooting night, though he was still just 2-of-8 from deep. There’s a lot of chatter around LaMelo supplanting Graham in the starting lineup, but I wouldn’t worry too much. Graham’s going to get his regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. Hope you didn’t sell low.

5-6 | 2-2 | 1-1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 13 |
He’s been overshadowed by the other M. Bridges and fellow Hornet P.J. Washington thus far, but Bridges has been quietly putting up borderline top-100 numbers. Now, it’s nothing to write home about, but his blocks are up and he remains perfect from the line, albeit on low volume.
FG | 3PT | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS |
3-13 | 2-6 | 0-0 | 14 | 7 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 8 |
Everyone’s favorite Ball brother narrowly missed consecutive triple-doubles. The defensive stats are there, too. Now if the shooting percentages could come up a tick, LaMelo would be an early-round asset. Who would’ve thought?

2-9 | 0-2 | 7-8 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 1 | 4 | 11 |
Finally, the Bearded Beyblade has slowed his roll. As a Knicks fan, I knew the winning wasn’t sustainable and yet I still allowed myself to believe. Goddammit. Randle will look to get back on track in the next one.

Man, Robinson is going to be fun to own this year. He’s kept the fouls to a minimum and whereas other elite shot-blockers like to dominate just one defensive category, Robinson does it all. Averaging just a shade under 2 steals for the year.
FG | 3PT | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS |
5-12 | 3-9 | 0-0 | 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 13 |
Rivers played a game-high 38 minutes as Coach Thibs went with an 8-man rotation. No, there was no COVID protocol in place. Thibs gonna Thibs. The Knicks guard situation is a little unappealing as Alec Burks appears to be nearly back and Rivers, Bullock, Payton, Barrett, and Quickley all need to get their minutes.
FG | 3PT | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS |
7-17 | 5-12 | 0-0 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 19 |
Knox shot the ball 17 times and chipped in some boards and a block on his way to a nice line. He’s not worth rostering outside the deepest of leagues. At least he can shoot the three-ball better than Barrett.

2-5 | 0-0 | 4-6 | 6 | 9 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 8 |
Slo-Mo has been a welcome surprise, coming into the game averaging 14.1/7.4/3.6. He was always a per-36 stud, but now the minutes are there too. Even when Jaren Jackson Jr. makes his return, Anderson should retain some low-end value.
FG | 3PT | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS |
5-9 | 1-1 | 2-2 | 5 | 7 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 13 |
Filling in admirably for the injured Ja Morant. Good source of assists and steals and he takes care of the ball well.

6-15 | 2-8 | 7-8 | 7 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 21 |
Brooks is averaging 1.7 steals on the season, solidifying his place in the top-100. If and when that comes down to his career average of 1 steal per game, he’ll once again be a threes and points guy.
De’Anthony Melton
FG | 3PT | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS |
3-7 | 1-2 | 1-2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 8 |
He’s your guy if you need defensive stats in a pinch. Unfortunately, he’s not going to be playing big minutes even in the absence of Morant. The FG% can hurt you, too.

5-7 | 3-3 | 0-0 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 13 |
Nance’s game is tailor-made for fantasy hoops. Stuffs the stat sheet night in and night out. Love is nice, too, but at this point in his career he just can’t match Nance’s across the board production.
FG | 3PT | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS |
8-16 | 0-0 | 3-9 | 14 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 19 |
Points and boards, FG% anchor, defensive stats. 3-9 from the line. That’s Drummond for you.

6-14 | 2-7 | 0-0 | 3 | 6 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 14 |
Dame Dot is making the most of his opportunity with Sexton and Garland on the shelf. He plays defense too, and I could see him carving out a nice little role even after the regular starters get back. The assists are a fluke, though.

5-11 | 2-3 | 0-0 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 4 | 12 |
Jeez, Bickerstaff is not afraid of running his rook into the ground. Okoro is averaging over 35 MPG, and played 40 tonight for the shorthanded Cavs. He’s not a complete scorer but the tools are there, and the defense is already solid.

4-9 | 1-4 | 0-2 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 9 |
Yogi Bear is back in the association! He did what he’s always done, provided a scoring punch off the bench.

8-16 | 2-4 | 4-7 | 6 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 22 |
2-4 from Three-Land is a welcome sight. Other than that, pretty boring line. He spoils us.

9-17 | 2-6 | 0-1 | 10 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 20 |
Middleton drives to the arena, drops his nightly 20/6/6, and peaces out. Then he goes and does it again the next night. And the next.

9-13 | 2-3 | 0-0 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 20 |
Crazy-Eyes is returning top-90 value in just 25 MPG. And the Bucks don’t have many bigs, so he’s not at risk of losing playing time.

8-14 | 3-4 | 2-3 | 5 | 8 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 21 |
That’s five consecutive good performances from Gordon. Five more and I’ll start to believe a little. And yet even in a punt-FT build, Gordon is just barely within the top-100. He did dunk on Giannis, so there’s that.
FG | 3PT | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS |
11-25 | 4-10 | 2-2 | 13 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 28 |
4 turnovers to match his frontcourt running-mate. A sparkling line other than that.

4-13 | 1-4 | 3-3 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 12 |
Cole Anthony truthers, it’s time for us to lie low for awhile. I readily admit I thought he would be killing it with the increased workload, but I guess the shooting woes are only exacerbated with volume.

He’s been serviceable lately, but this one is a real stinker. Someone call the Wildlife Conservation Society because this kills the Birch.

CP3’s gotten off to a slow start this year. The lack of scoring and steals is especially unexpected. I can’t say I expect it to get much better, as the Suns just look like a good team whose individual parts suffer for the betterment of the whole. DBook, Ayton and CP3 have all regressed fantasy-wise.
FG | 3PT | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS |
11-21 | 1-3 | 10-10 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 33 |
10-10 from the line, a steal and a block, and Booker only coughed the ball up once. No assists, however.

4-9 | 0-1 | 2-3 | 9 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 10 |
Hachimura needs to grab boards like this more often in order to be fantasy relevant. First block of the season for the neophyte.

Could be the guy to own with Bryant done for the season. He only played 4 more minutes than Mo Wagner, the other beneficiary of Bryant’s injury.

12-22 | 2-7 | 8-9 | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 34 |
He had to score one more than Booker — Bradley Beal is on a warpath. Finally the Wizards win when Beal has a good game. Good efficiency and defensive stats make me a happy camper.

The Sixers only had 9 guys active for this one. What a mess it was, as Philly fell to the lowly Hawks. Embiid did his thing on the court and on Twitter, as per usual.

When you stream an unheralded rookie who has the green light to pull everything and anything, you are playing a dangerous game. 14 points but 6-15 shooting.

6-9 | 4-7 | 2-2 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 18 |
See above, but better. The Sixers are getting shafted so hard that they may consider signing the OG Iso Joe to a 10-day.
DeAndre Hunter
FG | 3PT | FT | REB | AST | STL | BLK | TO | PTS |
4-8 | 1-2 | 6-7 | 7 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 15 |

Toronto is faced with an intriguing dilemma at the five. On the one hand, Alex Len can’t be worse than Aron Baynes. On the flip side, Aron Baynes can’t be worse than Alex Len. Turns out, the answer is simple: they’re both terrible.

Was only the second best sharpshooter for Portland tonight, and he coughed the ball up 8 times. Not pretty. Credit to Dame for recognizing when to defer to CJ.

8-20 | 2-11 | 3-4 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 0 | 3 | 21 |

21 points from a sharpshooter is nothing when they get hot, but what’s impressive is that Dougie is doing it from everywhere. Only 9 of his 21 came on threes.

7-19 | 2-6 | 5-7 | 5 | 9 | 1 | 1 | 5 | 21 |
Microcosm of Fox’s fantasy profile. Everything else is great but the FT-shooting and TOs are tanking his value big time.

Congrats if you took a late-round flier on him, or scooped him up off the wire. May very well have won you your league.
