Standard Leagues

(<50% rostered on Yahoo)

Andre Drummond, C, PHI (46% rostered)

Tonight: 37 minutes, nine points (4-of-6 FG, 1-of-1 FT), 17 rebounds, two steals, one assist, one block.

Analysis: It’s time to give Drummond his flowers. In the first three games of the season, the 31-year-old is averaging 10.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 1.0 block in 28.3 minutes, stepping up in place of the injured Joel Embiid (knee). Drummond is poised to excel on the boards while delivering consistent scoring and defensive stats for as long as Embiid remains sidelined.

Kelly Oubre Jr., SG/SF, PHI (40% rostered)

Tonight: 38 minutes, 14 points (6-of-18 FG, 2-of-3 FT), eight rebounds, two steals.

Analysis: Oubre continues to earn his spot on this list, and for good reason. In the first three games of the season, the 28-year-old is averaging 21.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals over an impressive 35.7 minutes per game. The Kansas product is likely to keep putting up significant shot attempts as long as Paul George (knee) remains sidelined.
