    Game Total 262

    Key Storylines

    – Jalen Johnson Rise Up: We’ve seen BIG things from this young guy in recent games from athletic plays to big fantasy lines. I own him in a few leagues and his performance in the last game garnered me a handful of terrible trade offers. No, I will not be accepting Terry Rozier for my Jalen Johnson, thank you. Can he keep his foot on the gas and stay healthy? If he can, we’re looking at a budding star.

    – Fun Times Rollin, but Where’s the D? The Pacers sit at 19-14 on the season and they’re having fun while doing it. The only issue is their defense, and they’ve tried sliding Jalen Smith into their starting lineup to mixed results. Can we find a formula that works for both sides of the basketball on the Pacers? Surely, the basketball community will keep tuning in to find out.

    The FantasyPass isn’t just for drafts anymore! This year, take your team to the next level with in-season TOOLS like Head-to-Head Matchups and Dynamic Daily/Weekly Projections, Q&A SESSIONS, SCHEDULE ANALYSIS, PICKUP ADVICE and more… starting at just $6/month!
