Welcome to another Monday Night Pickup. The games were in abundance tonight, bringing us some ambiguous lineups to go along with it. There was a lot to sort through tonight, but luckily enough, we were able to compile a strong list of pickups that could help you in both the long and short term. With the holidays running near, take some time to peruse this list and find the best pickup that will help you win your matchup. Enjoy!

Standard Leagues

( <50% rostered on Yahoo)

Julian Champagnie, F, SAS

Tonight’s Game : 29 minutes, 15 points (5-of-10 FG), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and five triples 

With Devin Vassell back in the starting lineup, Champagnie has finally moved back into a bench role. If you held onto Champagnie, you were definitely in for a treat tonight. There are a few good signs about this game, as Champagnie did see 29 minutes in a competitive game, and he received the most minutes off the bench. Opportunity is one of the greatest things you can ask for in fantasy basketball, so don’t be afraid to pick up or hold onto Champagnie. 

Ayo Dosunmu, G/F, CHI 

Tonight’s Game : 34 minutes, five points (2-of-9 FG, 1-of-2 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and two steals

He keeps finding a way to produce big numbers on a nightly basis. You may not believe it, but Dosunmu is ranked within the top-50 in 9-cat leagues over the past month. This is with him mostly seeing less usage, too. If a few players were to get moved at the trade deadline, we could see a huge boom from Dosunmu. He should not be left on your waiver wire.  

Shaedon Sharpe, G/F, POR

Tonight’s Game : 24 minutes, 13 points (6-of-14 FG), two rebounds, three assists, three steals and one triple

Sharpe has been quietly turning in some nice ball games over the past few weeks, planting himself inside the top-85 over that timespan. His biggest attribute is scoring, but he can provide some modest REB, AST and STL numbers to go along with it. The biggest improvement that he has made over this time period is that he is scoring more efficiently, averaging 49.3% FG over his last five games. This could be due to the fact that Anfernee Simons is helping his teammates get better looks, or it could also just be that something is starting to click for him. If you see Sharpe on the waiver wire, snag him while you still have the chance.
