It’s been many thousands of years since Moses climbed Mr. Sinai, received the Ten Commandments, then delivered them to the people below. It must’ve been an exhausting one for Moses because we hadn’t heard from him since. Last night, though, Moses Brown delivered the fantasy goodies to the believers who rostered him for DFS or season-long leagues, making all lift their heads to the sky and yell, Hallelujah!

Brown received the start and played 30 minutes. He’s now started the last two games. Now, both Al Horford and Darius Bazley were out so this may not be the New World Order. With that said, OKC is going to play and develop their young cats and Horford could be traded by the deadline. Moses has been a top 55 player over the last four games, providing 12.5 points, 10.3 boards, and two blocks while shooting 60% from the field and 80% from the free-throw line. Like manna from the heavens.
Here’s what else I saw last night:

Gobert has been on quite the heater recently. He’s been a top 12 player over the last 11 games and he made the lead for the world-famous Razzball hoops a few nights ago! The definition of living the dream. I just noticed that he did not rack up a block in the opening game. Since then, 37 straight games with at least one block. In the last four games, he’s Mutombo’d 4, 6, 1, and 5 shots.

Tristan Thompson was out due to COVID protocols so Theis got the start and played 26 minutes. Robert Matthew Van Winkle would’ve been proud by his performance. The 11 boards tied a season-high while the dimes were a season-high.

In 22 minutes off the bench. Give our Time Lord more time!!! With that said, top 25 player over the last four games despite averaging only 20.2 minutes per game. 3.5 blocks, 8.3 boards, and 73% field goal percentage will do that. The DeLorean had to reach a speed of 88 mph to travel through time. 8 points, 8 boards, and 8 blocks are the key to unlock the space/time continuum in which Time Lord will reign supreme.

Back to putting up top 20 production. He was languishing a bit like his brother from another mother, Channing, but all is right in the world again. Now, he’s been shooting 55% from the field so the heater probably won’t continue. He’s shooting 44% on the season. With that said, the usage is high and he contributes more than a little something something in every category that the top 20 production should continue.

Got the start and played 38 minutes. I thought that the return of Kevin Love would nuke his value but I forgot that Love hurts without fail. If he gets the run, then Nance can provide tres, boards, some dimes, and steals. The blocks aren’t always there….sad face….and the percentages kind of suck so all is not lollipops and candy canes.

In 21 minutes off the bench. All hail, JaVale! He pops off for games like this from time to time but you just never know when they will come. At least we know when Haley’s Comet will fly by. The eight boards were the most in 11 games but he has blocked at least one shot in six straight games.

This O has been lasting much longer than expected. All the women in the house are looking for ways to bottle it up so they can experience it at a moment’s spray. I thought that the heater would stop when Bam returned to the lineup. I’m a stupid, stupid man. Olynyk played 35 minutes and has been a top 10 player over the last four games. L. O. L. The tres are great from the big man position but he’s also been contributing the D. No wonder the O has been lasting so long! Just keep in mind that he’s had some horrific stretches this season, and it’s more than likely to happen again.

THE number one player over the last four games. Some of that was due to Bam being out, as the usage spiked, but he’s still been a top 10 player over the last 19 games. This is one Butler who not only serves and delivers but is the man of the household at the same time.

It’s really doesn’t matter that she has one arm because she’s hot but, you know, it’d be nice if she did. If there are any ladies in the house, Randle is the hot guy who has six-pack abs, muscle-toned arms and legs, a chiseled face, but no D. He just doesn’t provide the D.

Tony Bradley has been starting for Embiid, but it’s been Howard who has been more productive. If you need boards and blocks, Howard is your guy until Embiid returns. Just don’t worry about the free-throw shooting. Like, literally, don’t worry about it because you’ll get an ulcer. Ignorance is bliss.

He’s started the last two games but only played 23 and 22 minutes. It doesn’t matter, though, as Young has been a per-minute beast this season. He’s a top 70 player on the season despite playing fewer than 25 minutes per game. He’s been delivering points, boards, dimes, defensive stats, and excellent percentages.

I guess the change to the starting lineup has been a rousing success for Billy Donovan as Satoransky also made his second consecutive start and played 31 minutes. Coby White played 28 minutes but only scored four points. Sato is a better fit alongside Zach LaVine, so as long as the Bulls keep winning, Sato should continue seeing over 30 minutes of run.

The third 40-burger on the season for LaVine. He’s a top 20 player on the season averaging 28.4 points, 3.6 tres, 5.2 boards, five dimes, and one steal while shooting 52% from the field and 86% from the line. The only blemishes are the 0.4 blocks and 3.8 turnovers.

A top 10 player over the last five games! What is life? Gallinari has started three of those games and averaged 32.1 minutes, 21.4 points, four tres, 6.4 boards, 1.6 dimes, 1.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks while shooting 53% from the field and 100% from the line. Clint Capela, Cam Reddish, and De’Andre Hunter have all been out due to injury so Gallinari has received extra run as a result. When everyone is healthy, he will likely go back to being the 23-minute-per-game player. Something to keep an eye on.

Got the start at center for Capela and played 33 minutes. Without Capela on the court, Collins has seen an extra four minutes of run per game. Yummy. Unfortunately, no one has Tonya Harding’d Capela, at least not yet, so the playing time will subside when he returns to action.

In 41 minutes! With no John Wall, Christian Wood, or Eric Gordon on the court, Oladipo sees a usage bump of 6.1% to 37.9. Over the last seven games, he’s attempted at least 20 shots in all of them, garnered a usage rate over 33 in four, and scored at least 20 points in six. He’s been a top 65 player over that span. The bugaboo has been the bad field goal percentage, as he’s converted 41% of his attempts.

I am so so curious to see how his game develops over time. He’s currently a top 70 player on the season but could crack the top 50 if he starts racking up those defensive stats and converting his freebies.

A career-high in dimes! Yipee!! Lonzo is currently a top 60 player on the season. The 42% field goal percentage really holds him down. He contributes everywhere else and doesn’t turn the ball over. I’m optimistic because he changed his shooting form and has improved the free throw shooting from 56% to 76% this season.

Three of those games have been blowouts but Eric Bledsoe sucks so it’s within the range of outcomes that NAW starts getting more consistent run. NAW mean?

Is Edwards the alpha of the Timberwolves squad now? Over the last six games, the usage rate has been above 30 in every contest and he’s attempted at least 20 field goal attempts in five. He’s also gone for at least 20 points in seven of the last eight games, with the lone exception being a 19-point performance. Hmmmm. Now, the shooting efficiency can be turrable, like 35% turrable, but he’s also shot 50% from the field in each of the last two games. Top 60 player over the last four games.

Just another day at the office. Lebron messed around for the 99th time in his career. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that I think there’s a good chance he gets to 100. We are all witnesses to freaking greatness. Let’s not forget he took a team with Eric Snow, David Wesley, Anderson Varejao, Scot Pollard, Sasha Pavlovic, Ira Newble, Donyell Marshall, Dwayne Jones, Damon Jones, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Boobie Gibson, and Shannon Brown to the NBA Finals when he was 22 years old.

In 26 minutes off the bench. Like Harrell, THT has benefitted from the injuries as he’s played 26 and 28 minutes the last two games. Prior to that, he was averaging around 18 minutes per game. THT is such an intriguing player due to his length and ability to get to the rim. He needs to work on his shooting from downtown, as he’s only converting 27% of his attempts, and his off-ball defense is bad, which will keep him from getting significant run. He’s still only 20 years old, though, and we’ve seen glimpses of the ceiling. Will be fun to watch his development.
