Standard Leagues

(<50% rostered on Yahoo)

Keldon Johnson, SG/SF/PF, SAS (42% rostered)

Tonight: 30 minutes, 14 points (4-of-10 FG, 5-of-6 FT), five assists, four rebounds, two steals, two blocks, one triple.

Analysis: Johnson continues to shine off the bench, scoring double-digit points in each of the last six games. Over that stretch, he’s averaging 14.8 points on 50.0% shooting, 6.0 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers, and 1.0 steals in 27.6 minutes per game. The 25-year-old is firmly locked into 25-plus minutes per night for the rising Spurs and should be added in your league, especially if these stats catch your eye.

Jordan Clarkson, SG/SF, UTA (33% rostered)

Tonight: 16 points (5-of-15 FG, 4-of-5 FT), four assists, three rebounds, three steals, two triples.

Analysis: Clarkson has been heating up since returning from a two-game absence due to plantar fasciitis, averaging 17.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.5 steals in 22.4 minutes off the bench over the last two games. The 32-year-old should provide a steady source of points and three-pointers, with solid contributions in rebounds, assists, and the occasional steal moving forward.
