TOR 107 @ ORL 126

Paolo Banchero

25 PTS | 2-3 3PT | 5 REB | 3 AST | 1 BLK | 8-17 2PT | 3-3 FT | 32 MIN

🔸Paolo’s on-ball role and usage have skyrocketed back up to the same levels as his rookie season in November and the Magic are riding a 5-1 record over the last 10 days on his back. The shot diet needs to improve - Paolo is shooting an awful 36.8% from midrange on huge volume - but he’s up to 41% from three.

Scottie Barnes

14 PTS | 1-4 3PT | 8 REB | 4 AST | 3 STL | 4-7 2PT | 3-4 FT | 30 MIN

🔸Barnes has contested fewer shots in the last two weeks and has registered only one block in that span - this is the inconsistency of pre-prime prospects and I think we will see the blocks return in the future. The rest of the breakout continues.

Franz Wagner

17 PTS | 1-4 3PT | 4 REB | 2 AST | 3 STL | 7-14 2PT | 0-1 FT | 31 MIN

🔸We’re starting to see Franz climb out of cold shooting streak - going 7-12 at the rim in this one and attacking the rim more rather than settling for midrange jumpers. Add in seven steals over his last three games and you can see the outlines of the fantasy breakout we’ve been waiting for.

Jalen Suggs

18 PTS | 2-4 3PT | 3 REB | 4 AST | 2 STL | 4-6 2PT | 4-4 FT | 21 MIN

🔸Suggs is on an All-Defense campaign so far - third in the NBA in steals, 9th in deflections and third in loose balls recovered. And the offensive efficiency is becoming respectable - 56% true shooting, 60.9% at the rim and 35.1% from three. He’s even shooting 84.1% at the line across increased volume. Suggs may never be the on-ball creator we hoped he could be coming out of Gonzaga but he’s evolving into a very, very good NBA player who will start for a decade.

Anthony Black

10 PTS | 2-5 3PT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 2-2 2PT | 23 MIN

🔸Love seeing Black getting up five 3PT - a career high. He’s trying to blend in on offense with a limited off-ball role and I hope we get to see more on-ball opportunities as the season rolls on.

Gradey Dick

3 PTS | 1-3 3PT | 2 REB | 2 AST | 0-1 2PT | 12 MIN

🔸Dick continues to struggle from outside the arc - shooting only 24.4% from three. Expect that to change in the coming weeks as he adjusts to the NBA game. Maybe some time with the 905 in the G League is in order to get him more reps.

CLE 122 @ PHI 119

Evan Mobley

18 PTS | 12 REB | 3 AST | 1 BLK | 6-10 2PT | 6-6 FT | 38 MIN

🔸It’s early but Mobley has pushed up to 75% from the free throw line - neutralizing one of his few stat set weaknesses. Improved touch at the line could be a pre-cursor to expansion of his game outside the arc - but so far he’s attempted only seven 3PT all season.

Craig Porter Jr.

12 PTS | 3 REB | 9 AST | 1 BLK | 5-9 2PT | 2-2 FT | 27 MIN

🔸Yes, Mitchell, LeVert and Okoro were all out again, but CPJ is staking a claim on a rotation spot and needs to be rostered in 300+ player leagues. The per-minute fantasy production is going to make him relevant even in a 15-18 minute role off the bench.

Jaden Springer

0 PTS | 1 REB | 0-1 2PT | 7 MIN

🔸And just like that, we’re back to PatBev getting minutes over Springer. It’s going to be frustrating but I’m still stashing Springer everywhere I can because I think he’s a long-term rotation player with starter upside in his prime.

IND 157 @ ATL 152

Jalen Johnson

17 PTS | 0-2 3PT | 7 REB | 6 AST | 2 STL | 1 BLK | 6-10 2PT | 5-5 FT | 33 MIN

🔸Johnson’s connective passing and playmaking are why he’s so intriguing as a fantasy prospect. And if he hits free throws like this? The ceiling is absurdly high. Jalen has pushed into the top 50 as a dynasty asset and that may be underselling what his peak could be.

Onyeka Okongwu

7 PTS | 0-2 3PT | 6 REB | 4 AST | 1 BLK | 3-5 2PT | 1-1 FT | 22 MIN

🔸Both Okongwu and Capela got in foul trouble in this shootout, limiting their minutes and forcing the Hawks to play small. The volume is limited but Okongwu’s improvement as a shooter is impressive - 93.5% from the free throw line and has already attempted nearly as many threes this year as he did in all of the 22-23 season.

Aaron Nesmith

17 PTS | 1-3 3PT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK | 5-6 2PT | 4-5 FT | 25 MIN

🔸Nesmith’s first start of the season but played less than Toppin. The important development here is that Aaron is scoring inside the arc by attacking closeouts and pressuring the rim on drives, not just hitting threes. I think he can be a multi-year starter at his peak.

Bennedict Mathurin

19 PTS | 2-6 3PT | 2 REB | 1 AST | 5-6 2PT | 3-4 FT | 20 MIN

🔸Mathurin came off the bench and saw his minutes reduced. The Pacers’ defensive woes aren’t all Mathurin’s fault, but his 6th percentile Defensive EPM reflects why he’s seeing his role decline. On the positive side, his assist rate has nearly double this season, so there’s hope his tunnel vision issues are improving.

Isaiah Jackson

2 PTS | 5 REB | 1 AST | 4 BLK | 1-1 2PT | 12 MIN

🔸Played over Jalen Smith in the second half. We’ll need to watch to see if Jackson can overtake Smith for the backup center minutes in the coming weeks because these are the kinds of block numbers we’ve been stashing Jackson for.

POR 107 @ PHO 120

Shaedon Sharpe

10 PTS | 0-5 3PT | 3 REB | 1 STL | 3-8 2PT | 4-4 FT | 32 MIN

🔸It’s a good thing Scoot is returning soon because Shaedon Sharpe is running on fumes right now after an extended run of 40+ minute games. There was some concern after his rookie year that he’d be a FT% liability (71.4% in 22-23) but he’s now at 83.1% on the season from the line.

Toumani Camara

7 PTS | 0-2 3PT | 4 REB | 1 STL | 2-2 2PT | 3-4 FT | 39 MIN

🔸Career-high 39 minutes for Camara. The shooting has been rough - 46% true shooting and 22.2% from three - but Toumani had solid efficiency at Dayton and should find his footing as the season rolls on. His defense and size should keep him on the court for this very bad Blazers team.

Jabari Walker

8 PTS | 0-2 3PT | 3 REB | 3-4 2PT | 2-2 FT | 14 MIN

🔸Walker has won minutes over Kris Murray and gives Portland rebounding that it desperately needs (85th percentile defensive rebounding, 76th percentile offensive rebounding). Add in really strong block and steal rates and you have an intriguing stash candidate in deeper formats.

UTA 99 @ LAL 131

Austin Reaves

19 PTS | 1-4 3PT | 5 REB | 5 AST | 3 STL | 6-9 2PT | 4-4 FT | 26 MIN

🔸After an ugly first week of the season, Reaves is #53 in 8-cat per game rankings in November. The assist rate from the second half of last season has carried over (23.4%, 82nd percentile) and his three-level efficiency is very real. A premium dynasty asset who is only going to get better.

Keyonte George

9 PTS | 1-5 3PT | 3 REB | 2 AST | 1 STL | 2-6 2PT | 2-2 FT | 21 MIN

🔸An ugly game for the Jazz and we should expect this kind of inconsistency from George as he navigates learning the point guard position in the NBA. Assist rate remains elite (94th percentile) and the shots will start falling soon.

Ochai Agbaji

0 PTS | 0-3 3PT | 3 REB | 0-2 2PT | 17 MIN

🔸Started again but barely registered in the stat sheet. This was the concern with Agbaji as a prospect coming out of Kansas - the stat set is empty unless he’s hitting threes and stacking blocks like he did over the last two weeks.

Max Christie Jr.

7 PTS | 1-5 3PT | 5 REB | 4 AST | 1 STL | 1 BLK | 2-3 2PT | 25 MIN

🔸Extra minutes in garbage time but nice to see Christie Jr. stuff the stat sheet. Reddish left this game with groin soreness so we may see more of Max in the next week.

Omer Yurtseven

18 PTS | 0-1 3PT | 6 REB | 1 AST | 8-10 2PT | 2-3 FT | 17 MIN

🔸This was Yurt’s first extended action of the season because of the blowout and he flashed the per-minute production that we loved during his run in Miami in the 21-22 season. Don’t expect more of this - especially once Kessler returns - but he’s a nice stash in leagues rostering 350+ players in case he ever secures a backup C role.

⚡G League Lightning Round⚡

Taylor Hendricks

22 PTS | 4-10 3PT | 7 REB | 1 STL | 3 BLK | 4-8 2PT | 2-2 FT | 32 MIN

Brice Sensabaugh

28 PTS | 5-12 3PT | 6 REB | 6 AST | 2 STL | 6-9 2PT | 1-1 FT | 34 MIN

Nikola Jovic

17 PTS | 3-6 3PT | 5 REB | 7 AST | 1 BLK | 4-10 2PT | 0-1 FT | 37 MIN

Maxwell Lewis

21 PTS | 4-6 3PT | 4 REB | 3 AST | 1 BLK | 2-4 2PT | 3-3 FT | 34 MIN

Usman Garuba

15 PTS | 0-1 3PT | 10 REB | 2 AST | 3 STL | 3 BLK | 7-9 2PT | 1-1 FT | 26 MIN

Colin Castleton

25 PTS | 11 REB | 3 AST | 3 BLK | 9-12 2PT | 4-6 FT | 33 MIN

TyTy Washington Jr.

11 PTS | 3-5 3PT | 2 REB | 4 AST | 1 STL | 0-5 2PT | 1-2 FT | 30 MIN
