Standard Leagues

(<50% rostered on Yahoo)

Dennis Schroder, PG, BKN (33% rostered)

Tonight: 34 minutes, 13 points (5-of-16 FG), seven assists, three rebounds, two triples, one steal.

Analysis: Schroder got the start and took an impressive 16 shots from the field. Although it was an inefficient night, there’s a lot to like about his overall stat line, particularly his assists and three-pointers. As long as he’s in the starting lineup, the German native should provide valuable fantasy numbers moving forward.

Wendell Carter Jr., C, ORL (30% rostered)

Tonight: 27 minutes, eight points (3-of-7 FG, 1-of-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two steals, one triple.

Analysis: Carter Jr. started and recorded an impressive 14 rebounds tonight. While his shooting was inefficient, he should perform better on most nights. As a starting center on an ascending team, he is definitely worth a pickup in all leagues.
