With a smaller six-game slate, there weren’t as many players that were separating themselves out as clear pick-ups. Nevertheless, a few players had some standout performances that need to be rostered in leagues. Let’s check it out!

Standard Leagues – 2 players

(<50% rostered on Yahoo)

Amen Thompson, G/F, Rockets (44% on Yahoo)

Tonight: 28 minutes, 20 points (9-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals

Thompson has his whole game going Thursday. We know how he can contribute across the board, which was on full display. The points and threes shouldn’t be counted on, but the boards, assists, and defensive stats are useful in any format. Run, don’t walk, if Amen is still on your wire.

Tim Hardaway Jr., G/F, Mavericks (44% on Yahoo)

Tonight: 31 minutes, 23 points (8-of-13 FG, 2-of-2 FT), five triples, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal

Luka Doncic looks set to out through the weekend, which should afford Hardaway some extra usage. His FG% can be hard to trust, but there should be plenty of points and triples to help offset that.
