Hold Josh: The three centre rotation, plus Morris & Batum, is going to limit his value, but he is still plugging away for now and is a hold
Kyle: A nice game, and it's sounding like Hartenstein might hold the backup center job over Ibaka going forward as the team played both of them together in this blowout, using Ibaka as the PF for a stretch. Hartenstein is just a conditional streamer, for deeper leagues and watch lists in case Zubac gets injured at some point.
Josh: Efficiency remains garbage, but usage is getting him buy, especially for points league. I really worry about how much drop he has in a few years when he isn't the number one guy.
Josh: Great game from Mann, who has failed to break out as many predicted. He looks more like a 14 team guy in my eyes, than someone I would run to add in 12 teamers.
Kyle: Mann had a huge game, but he's too inconsistent to consider much more than a streamer and someone for deeper leagues in most respects.
Josh: Good to see the minutes push up, but I don't think Serge is going to be sniffing the top 120 any time soon, so he can stay on waivers
Watch Kyle: Ibaka got decent run, but this was pretty much a blowout, and he was being used as the PF next to Hartenstein for a stretch.
Watch Kyle: Joseph started again with Hayes still out, and he has some conditional streaming value for deeper leagues, but even with Hayes out, Joseph is too inconsistent to chase unless it's a short-schedule day in most leagues.
Kyle: Lyles had a nice game, but he's in too limited of a bench role to chase beyond conditional streaming.
Josh: Just when I thought I was out, he pulls me back in. Well, sort of. This is solid, the role is secure, but it was the Pistons, so if he is on the wire, I wouldn't rush
Kyle: Bledsoe has value as a streamer, but he's too inconsistent to chase beyond deeper leagues.
Kyle: Lee got a good look with Hayes out and the game being a blowout in the middle of the game befor
Josh: He is really struggling to shoot of late, so it might be a time to try to pry him with a buy low
Buy Low Josh: It's been very rough the last week for Cade with low usage and shots refusing to fall. Don't drop, but also, buy low.
Buy Low Kyle: The poor shooting from the floor might make Cade harder to roster in Rotisserie leagues, but in H2H, I'd be riding out the storm there and trying to buy-low on Cade considering how good his other contributions have been.
Josh: I don't believe Morris is more than a 12 team streamer. Better suited for 14 teram leagues, especially with Batum still to return.
Kyle: This was essentially a blowout, so it's hard to judge Morris' minutes too harshly. He's a streamer/flier and someone to watch in case he continues to play more and produce going forward, but for some teams, Morris may be OK to drop if you had him on the IL but there are better streaming options on the wire. In most cases, I'd be fine holding.
Kyle: Josh is someone to keep tabs on in case the Pistons decide to give him a look over Bey as a starter at some point.
Droppable 10 teams Josh: Upside isn't high enough for my liking to hold through these struggles. Streaming his spot in a 10 team league has more value.
Kyle: Bey was awful in this game, and he's certainly underwhelmed despite having a big role. I'd be considering buying low in deeper leagues as long as the minutes continue to come, but until coach Casey actually puts a system into effect and helps define Bey's role as a 3-and-D guy, we may continue to see poor performances of a player stepping out of his skill set too much.
Josh: Another subpar outing from Stewart who has taken significant steps back from last season. It's feeling like he is going to be a drop, but if you're in a 10 teamer, I think you can alrady move.
Kyle: Stewart was back from his two-game suspension and stepped immediately into his starting role and usual minutes.
