Must Add Josh: Now he's back and Ayton is hurt, real or not, grab him and let's see what happens
Must Add 12 teams Kyle: Clingan was back from injury and made a sot start with Ayton and Williams out. He was fantastic in even limited minutes, so someone should be taking a flier in most category leagues to see where this goes or to have as a streamer/stash ahead of the trade deadline, in case Ayton is moved or put on the shelf more frequently.. This is a must-add because if you want Clingan, you have to ad him now, but if you don't need his upside with the uncertainty in the short-term, it's OK to let someone else
Sell High Josh: Give me anyone top 100 who doesn't play for Utah or Brooklyn.
Sell High Kyle: Even if Green gets good run, we know his production is too erratic, so this is a sell-high game for very deep leagues, nothing to chase.
Kyle: While we could see Avdija as a tank-rest risk down the stretch, it also feels like his place on this team could keep him in a good role most of the season, so in general, I'd just enjoy the good floor and upside and see what comes unless someone offers me a great return.
Watch Josh: Strong game with lots of free throws. But it is important to note who was out. Still, Martin got hurt and they could easily run him a lot down the stretch. Historically, he hasn't been a good fantasy option, so I'm not inclined to sit on him in standard leagues
Watch Kyle: Okogie started the second half and got big run with most of the Hornets resting in the nest for the first half of the b2b. If the team has a ton of guys out again, Okogie could be a nice stream Saturday, but this is mostly a sell-high night.
Sell High Josh: Give me anyone top 120 who doesn't play for Utah or Brooklyn.
Maybe Add 12 teams Josh: More shots, more to miss, but the opportunity feels like it will be there ROS.
Maybe Add 12 teams Kyle: Smith could have a lot of games like this to close the season with LaMelo resting and the Hornets pushing a ton of minutes and touches to Smith. Worth considering for streaming and investing in upside that may not have seemed reasonable to expect.
Josh: He is still getting close to starter's minutes, but not doing a huge amount. Different to Scoot in tat he had an extended run at starting and struggled and now is still getting strong minutes. His fantasy value is also not as high as Scoot, but holding seems right.
Kyle: Should we drop or should we hold? It's going to depend on if you think a starting job will find Sharpe consistently again later this season and if more touches will come, too? If you don't believe the upside fits your needs or is worth the wait, it's OK to treat Sharpe like a streamer in standards.
Kyle: Frustrating for him and fantasy. All the opportunity available and Martin couldn't claim it.
Hold Josh: I don;t know what's in his head, but it feels like his confidence is taking a hit with how he is being used. I would be holding for a bit
Kyle: As noted after the previous game, too, Henderson is OK to treat as a luxury stash/stream up to the trade deadline if you believe in his use being worth the hold for your league playoffs, but he's also OK to drop give the lack of clarity around the Blazer rotations the rest of the way.
Josh: He is going to be worth streaming, despite this game, when Ball is out, but he is a poor shooter and they may try Simpson at times as well.
Watch Kyle: Great minutes in a spot start with LaMelo out but failed to produce. With 14 games Saturday, there's probably a better option even if LaMelo is out, though Micic can post a great line on a given night if holding.
Sell High Kyle: Hopefully this was just the team resting LaMelo on the front of the b2b, but even if it is, this is a concern for H2H leagues, and I would be considering sell-high options.
Sell High Kyle: Bridges' best path this season would be a trade, and I think that's possible, so maybe a buy-low would be worth pursuing, but if Bridges sticks on the Hornets the rest of the season, more rests likely come due to tanking, so this is also a sell-high time before these rests are more prevalent.
