(<50% rostered on Yahoo)

Malik Beasley, SG, DET (39% rostered)

Tonight: 33 minutes, 23 points (8-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FT), four boards, one assist, two steals, six triples.

Analysis: After a four-point outing in just 18 minutes against the Bucks, Beasley bounced back tonight with a bench-leading 23-point performance in 33 minutes, shooting 50% from the field and sinking six 3-pointers. Prior to his last game, Beasley had scored in double digits for 13 straight games, so it was encouraging to see him return to form. Beasley’s consistent scoring, complemented by solid efficiency, 3-pointers made, and occasional contributions in assists, rebounds, and steals, makes him a strong candidate for more roster consideration.

T.J. McConnell, PG, IND (18% rostered)

Tonight: 28 minutes, 14 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two boards, two assists, one steal.

Analysis: McConnell has been on a solid streak, scoring in double digits for three consecutive games. Tonight, he logged his highest minutes of the season, largely due to Andrew Nembhard’s (rest) absence. McConnell is capable of providing consistent value with around 25 minutes of playing time, so if these minutes become a regular occurrence, he should be added to rosters.
