Hello Ethosers. Hopefully you guys haven’t been hit too hard by the injury bug, but if you have, there’s no use in giving up. Your opponent could have someone go down at any second as well, so it makes sense to fight until the very end. If you’ve lost some key players, you’re going to need some pickups to make up for it of course, so let’s find some options here.
Standard Leagues
(<50% rostered on Yahoo)
POINTS
Caris LeVert, G/F, Cavs (51% on Yahoo)
Tonight: 33 minutes, 17 points (7-of-16 FG, 3-of-10 3PT), six rebounds, 11 assists, one steal
The Cavs play again on Wednesday and on Saturday. Donovan Mitchell seems to be in contention for the team’s road trip, so be on the lookout for his status. However, if Mitchell is still sidelined, LeVert can give you some scoring with the upside for peripherals like this on his best nights. While he is above our usual percentage threshold, consider this a bonus inclusion.
THREES
Grant Williams, F, Hornets
Tonight: 32 minutes, 22 points (6-of-13 FG, 2-of-5 3PT, 8-of-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals
Williams is filling in for Tre Mann (groin) as a starter. With the upside for more minutes, he can be streamed in 12-team leagues for the chance of around two treys a game and double-digit scoring alongside some boards and other stuff. The Hornets play again on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday before going into a poor schedule next week.
