Sell High Josh: So many minutes and he is thriving in Indiana. It might drop when Duarte plays, but he has been great
Sell High Kyle: Hield was fantastic in huge minutes, which is great to see with Brogdon back, but this still came in Duarte's absence, and when he's back, Hield could get slotted into a smaller role, so this remains a sell-high stretch for Hield for the right return.
Kyle: SGA was great again, playing full minutes in both games of the b2b. It doesn't appear he's at much risk of shutdown this season as long as he's healthy.
Josh: Two big games in a row. I am not convinced about him, but hey, we can take dart throws at this point. He benefitted from Dort and Giddey out here. Maybe try to sell high?
Sell High Kyle: Mann had another nice game, but this spot start came because both Dort and Giddey were out, so it's hard to trust his role being consistent for standard leagues the rest of the way. Mann has the upside and talent to consider him a flier or streamer for most leagues, but this is also a sell-high stretch.
Must Add Josh: I know minutes are lower, but I would not leave him on the wire. I think they will increase
Must Add Kyle: Jackson started at center and had a monster game with a career-high 5 blocks in just 23 minutes. He's a must-add in all standard leagues to see how this plays out. You can't leave someone with this much bulk-production potential sitting on the wire.
Josh: A drop in numbers a little with Brogdon back, but still strong
Kyle: Even with Brogdon back, Haliburton played huge minutes and remained the primary facilitator.
Maybe Add 12 teams Josh: Great numbers here and he has flashed some interesting stuff, but I do feel like it is going to be weird in the frontcourt
Maybe Add 12 teams Kyle: Smith is producing well in a middling role, making him worth considering as a flier or streamer in most leagues, but he has downside, too if coach Carlisle marginalizes Smith some as Duarte and potentially others return.
Josh: Better game compared to yesterday, but he imore of a fringe player.
Kyle: Bazley was better here, but his on lack of reliability when the team is close to full health keeps him best viewed as a streamer and specialist in most leagues. Don't lose sight of Bazley, though, as he is useful and gets lots of minutes.
Josh: 31 minutes in his return is a big surprise. I wonder if he makes it the rest of the way?
Sell High Kyle: There is a lot to consider with Brogdon, but first of all, it's great that he was available to play, and the fact he played 31 minutes in just three quarters speaks to his upside. But can Brogdon stay healthy? I'd be considering sell-high options, as with the Pacers out of the play-in picture, Brogdon could certainly get shutdown at some point if his Achilles soreness
Maybe Add Josh: A ton of playing time, but the shooting was rough. But, the usage is nice as was the defense and he can be a 12 team option
Maybe Add Kyle: Brissett is worth having as a flier or streamer at least until Duarte is back and the rotation gets shuffled up a bit again, but this is also a sell-high moment for Brissett if he can bring back someone with more secure long-term value.
Maybe Add 14 teams Josh: Solid numbers and he is getting good minutes, but I feel like the Thunder C rotation changes every game making him hard to trust
Watch Kyle: Roby started on the second half of the b2b with Favors resting. Roby is getting regular minutes right now, but those will eventually dial back whenever Earl is healthy.
Kyle: A good line, but Maledon seems unlikely to claim a big enough role on this roster to be worth more than use in very deep leagues this season. It'd take a stretch of bad injuries to clear a standard-league role for Maledon.
Droppable 14 teams Kyle: Poku is always worth tracking because of his ability to collect bulk stats in every category, but it doesn't seem like he's going to be able to get enough minutes most games to use as more than a streamer and specialist in standards. With all that said, there's a chance he gets a look starting again before the end of the season, so he's fine as a bit of a luxury stash in deeper formats where your fantasy playoffs go until the end of the season.
Kyle: Wiggins is starting and getting good minutes, but he's not producing well for fantasy. He's just someone to keep tabs on in case he starts finding his way to more production, but his minutes are at risk going forward if the team gets healthy, so it's not worth putting too much hope in Wiggins' prospects for redraft leagues.
Sell High Kyle: Lance had a good game, and he's been getting nice run of late, but when Duarte is available, Lance could be out of the rotation some games, so this is mainly a sell-high stretch.
Droppable Josh: Out of the rotation now
Droppable Kyle: Goga doesn't seem like a priority for the Pacers, and that doesn't speak well of his future on this team. He's an interesting long-term investment to consider in very deep dynasty formats if you could trade for him on the cheap before a potential team change this offseason.
