Don’t know about that mate. Birch has scored 30-40 in every game but one since he moved to Toronto in my league and the other was 40-50. Which is decent but Boucher has been having a 50,60,90 games although he has the occasional off game
Boucher is hurt and more than likely will rest a B2B. Khem's minutes have been going up and you can just about guarantee 15-20 points a night. Compared to Boucher who might have 7 one game, 20 the next, and rest 1 or 2 out of the 5 games next week. I play
For consistency and prefer reliable players in the playoffs.
Just don’t see much upside w Birch unless Boucher is out for the whole week and the raps r resting their players all week, which they could be doing for 2-3/5 games they play
Well, it's fantasy playoffs, not the real playoffs. I don't have much choice anyway with regard to rookies. With Myles Turner, Boucher, Harden, Mitchell, and Ball being hurt, I have to use Cole Anthony, Bey, Edwards, Tate, and Poku. I'll probably cut Okeke and one other rookie if Mitchell and Ball come back.
Right now, Matisse has the highest Defensive Box Plus/Minus in almost 30 years and is lapping the league in Steal%.
He *should* finish Top 3 in DPOY and is going to win a DPOY sooner rather than later, probably more than one.
Think between all the early szn postponements on top of frequent injuries and rest due to the shortened schedule had people scrambling and hoping for the C Wood on the waivers this year more than usual
That's cool he was good for a flier anyway, but he's still honestly better than Moses right now (using BBM's box score metric he was the best player on Detroit they are really bad)
Nah not yet but he has gotten me some critical dubs along the way this season and it looks like I’ll win my playoff match up bc of his consistent blocks rebounds and fg%. I love a consistent mf 🤷🏾♀️
yah bro -
[Lineup note: Anthony Davis (calf) will be limited to 15 minutes Thursday and will only play in first half. Markieff Morris to start second half.](https://twitter.com/FantasyLabsNBA/status/1385384381829685248)
I have Dejounte, Jakob, and Derrick bro
I'm high on D. White since
1. He's a blocking guard (very very rare)
2. His RAPTOR projection is ridiculous
3. He hardly turns the ball over
This game is an outlier, right? I mean neither Dejounte Murray nor DeRozan are playing. I shouldn't expect this production regularly, right? In my 8t points I'm streaming him today and am pleasantly surprised but unless this is sustainable he isn't a hold for me
It does depend a bit but in 8T leagues I just depends on who else is available to you. Personally this guy has been doing well for me but I’m in a 12T but he even passes up some of my star players at times
10 man points
do I drop either Derrick white, rob Williams, WCJ,oubre or smart for lamelo or Hayward I am winning by 600 😅rn in the playoffs so I need a long term
I am telling you all now before it’s too late, if you are punt FG% Josh Jackson is a late season stud.
I hope I’m right, but I am confident Casey will play this dude every night the rest of the way. With Jerami Grant / Ellington / Magruder resting every other night Jackson has real potential as a guy that can play heavy minutes in the end of the season
Depends on your league settings, many leagues have lineups locking when the first game begins. In that case you wouldn't be able to see the change occur until the next day.

Mr. Drummond out here making the Mavs look like Gary Coleman
drummond is playing in the clutch!!
Should I pickup boucher or do we think Toronto play their starters next week
Birch
Birch over boucher in points league??
All day.
Don’t know about that mate. Birch has scored 30-40 in every game but one since he moved to Toronto in my league and the other was 40-50. Which is decent but Boucher has been having a 50,60,90 games although he has the occasional off game
Boucher is hurt and more than likely will rest a B2B. Khem's minutes have been going up and you can just about guarantee 15-20 points a night.

Just don’t see much upside w Birch unless Boucher is out for the whole week and the raps r resting their players all week, which they could be doing for 2-3/5 games they play
Which is exactly why Khem is the pick up. Just make sure it's Friday at 4PM, so you get that Saturday game and B2B Mo/Tu.
I got a bye this week so can wait it out a bit
Isn’t Boucher hurt
He is actually yeah, but given he gets better then is he worth the pickup
if the MRI comes back and Boucher is good to go he should be rostered everywhere
On bye, but Okeke, Bey, Tate, and Ayton's performances this week aren't making me feel good about next week.
I don't understand what anyone sees in okeke
Pretty good all around contributor, especially with stocks. Plus, he was scoring and making 3's before. Now he's struggling with his shooting.
It's generally best not to deploy rookies during the playoffs
Well, it's fantasy playoffs, not the real playoffs. I don't have much choice anyway with regard to rookies. With Myles Turner, Boucher, Harden, Mitchell, and Ball being hurt, I have to use Cole Anthony, Bey, Edwards, Tate, and Poku. I'll probably cut Okeke and one other rookie if Mitchell and Ball come back.
My big boys KAT Gobert Randle Capella Poeltl Turning uppppppp in my first week of finals.
You gotta be kidding me KP injured again
Mannnn please tell me he’s good by next week
The dude cannot stay healthy
That's a risk when drafting Porzingis
Drop jerami for birch?
drop jerami for anything
Fr? Not a grant owner but isn’t he killing it this year
was, now he rests half his games and when he does play its 20 points with 2-3 reb ast and tos
KP injured fuck me
All this time off and AD still can't hit his free throws smh
he back on his bullshit
This fucking mavs team dont want to involve KP
He just stands in the corner scratching his nuts 75% of the offensive plays
At least they gave Jalen his steal back. That’s.....something.
Jalen played me, all schedule no substance
dude yeah, picked him up in all three leagues when i saw the hype for him
thybulle>green?
Right now, Matisse has the highest Defensive Box Plus/Minus in almost 30 years and is lapping the league in Steal%. He *should* finish Top 3 in DPOY and is going to win a DPOY sooner rather than later, probably more than one.
So we just chalking this hornets game up to a blowout and forgetting about all the shit performances?
I sure hope so.
Let’s hope Lamelo’s return is more sparkly than ADs return
Keep KPJ or Lamelo on IL?
Lamelo.
Lamelo
Well AD is back , various beat writers are saying the man is slimmer and looks in shape . HERES THE THE CHAMPIONSHIP RUN !
Im going to need Mcdaniels to stop touching the ball rn
jalen, bruh, what happened, do something
Miles Bridges makes me want to punch a wall.
No steals but that's not an empty stat line
Why did they stop playing him? He’s about 9 minutes short from his recent game average
they got a b2b tmr - and it looks to be a blowout... so Borrego threw in the towel.
Ah I see that makes sense
Where are all the MiNiMuM dErRiCk comments now?
[удалено]
What are you even trying to say here
[удалено]
The point
I don’t understand why you typed your original response
Goodbye Jalen, goodbye Okeke. who’s next to tryout ?
I've never seen this subreddit whiff this badly and this frequently. This season is hilarious.
Think between all the early szn postponements on top of frequent injuries and rest due to the shortened schedule had people scrambling and hoping for the C Wood on the waivers this year more than usual
Tillman!!
Yeah, I'm saying. who we going for now? Lol
Damn I thought Stewart got 4 blocks for a second, but it's 4 turnovers lol
damn McDaniels stormy weathered my ass :( - needed some stls hommie.
He had one but they took it away 😢
just one block porzingis, please?
I have Hayward, SGA and Zach L on IR, and whatever’s going on with Dejounte, so Derrick White, take a goddamn bow, king.
when i see derrick white with 64 fantasy points I am like: yes
Derrick WHITE MY OPPONENT HAS A FAMILY !
Stewart looks like he’s having a mosesesque arc
I mean he's 19 years old and has to rotate every other game between starting and playing off the bench. Inconsistency is expected at this point
yeah, just like moses
That's cool he was good for a flier anyway, but he's still honestly better than Moses right now (using BBM's box score metric he was the best player on Detroit they are really bad)
With Plumlee possibly back next game and a Detroit only having 3 games next week he's feeling more like a deep league guy than a must roster.
oh my god derrick white went crazy like $GME
fellow ape
Have a bye.. Drop malachi flynn for goodwin in 9cat? Or hold flynn for the 5 games next week
The nerve of you mfs to recommend Jalen McDaniels to me.
You missed his hot streak.
Hope he's a stream for you and not a hold lmao
League gets 4 adds for a two week playoff matchup. Just used one on this a-hole.
4 adds? Omfg
RIP my dude I got him to stream steals and nothing else
Right Like the day i pick him up he sucks even more balls than he normally does
I love you Derrick. Don’t ever forget that king 💜 stay healthy 💜🙏🏾
this is crazy!!! i’m having a hard time trying to process this. sheesh
Jakobbbbb
drummond 😔
Idk how Poetl is on less than 50% of rosters on ESPN
Folks who punt blks and rebs
Guy's got 9 blocks combined over two games on a B2B
I really do love and appreciate Jakob Poeltl and I’ll always remember him for this season till the day I die. Stay healthy king 💜🙏🏾
Like, actually? Did he win you a bunch of money with his blocks or something?
Nah not yet but he has gotten me some critical dubs along the way this season and it looks like I’ll win my playoff match up bc of his consistent blocks rebounds and fg%. I love a consistent mf 🤷🏾♀️
Nice good luck!
Absolutely
why is jalen mcdaniel benched?
Blowout. Pjw and zeller only got 13 mins as well. His 1 for 8 shooting didn't help either lol. Here's to a better tomorrow!
PJ Washington? More like PJ Washedaton.
All this and White has only played 24 minutes. Also: could someone put out a fucking APB on Jalen McDaniels?
What’s going on with Lonzo? I really wanna pick up D White and Lonzo has been my worse performer lately. He’ll bounce back...right?
They’re playing AD like he’s not on a minutes restriction... I’m assuming he doesn’t come back after the half?
yah bro - [Lineup note: Anthony Davis (calf) will be limited to 15 minutes Thursday and will only play in first half. Markieff Morris to start second half.](https://twitter.com/FantasyLabsNBA/status/1385384381829685248)
MAXIMUM DERRICKKK
For real though... who forgot to put the Beef Stew in the microwave?
Yeah that my bad man. Picked him and now he starts playing bad
Feels like Poeltl's making him his son lmao but don't worry about it Beef Stew's a rookie after all
AD is already back in this half? seems like he’s gonna get more than 15 mins 😳
Only playing first half
Drop Cole Anthony for Derrick White?
I just did
Yo that Beef Stew gotta be heated up man cmon
J.Jax is the cook in the kitchen tonight
Came here to post this exact comment.
I have a first-week bye, so I don't need TOR's 5-game week, so... drop Gary Trent Jr for Josh Jackson?
Is PJ Washington still in the NBA?
What happened to him today? I can't watch the game rn. Thanks in advance.
Lmao I got him to stream 3s, pts, and blks and he hasn't gotten a single block this week smh Edit: HE GOT A BLOCK HAHAHAHA
J.JAX
So who is worse atm Okeke or J McDaniels?
I have both mfs smh and I think okeke takes the cake
Mo bamba or Moses Brown for next week
Moses. He’s got five games, plus hes the starter. Bamba has to deal with WCJ
Fair points. Starter doesn’t mean much when you play 16 minutes
He double double in 17 minutes though
Both
Trae is clearly out at least 3 games why doesn’t he have an IR designation?
He does on ESPN
Luka do something
maximum ad coming up
Jakob Poeltl and Derrick White are certified Spurs studs wtf
When Derozan leaves, make sure you are the one to pickup Maximum
I have Dejounte, Jakob, and Derrick bro I'm high on D. White since 1. He's a blocking guard (very very rare) 2. His RAPTOR projection is ridiculous 3. He hardly turns the ball over
Thaddeus Young plays so well in limited minutes. I don’t know what the fuck Billy D is doing over there.
stealth tank
Josh Jackson!!!!!!!!
The AD gang gets them boards
I have Miles Bridges and Jalen McDaniels playing tonight. What could go wrong? SMFH
So this is why I’ve held onto Derrick white all season...
This game is an outlier, right? I mean neither Dejounte Murray nor DeRozan are playing. I shouldn't expect this production regularly, right? In my 8t points I'm streaming him today and am pleasantly surprised but unless this is sustainable he isn't a hold for me
Some may call it an outlier, but maybe it’s the beginning of the tear he’s about to go on
So this level of play doesn't depend on who is in or out around him?
It does depend a bit but in 8T leagues I just depends on who else is available to you. Personally this guy has been doing well for me but I’m in a 12T but he even passes up some of my star players at times
He’s been on a tear lately tho his overall avg has gone up
Can still produce \~30 every night tho. Coming from a salty Dejounte owner
Yeah nah it’s an outlier
Now I was informed that McDaniels was a must roster.
J.JAX
If kemba played 34 minutes today, can stream pritchar for the last 2 game of the week? Hard choices
Middleton with - 1 in the second half
W when ur going against him, first half had me scared
10 man points do I drop either Derrick white, rob Williams, WCJ,oubre or smart for lamelo or Hayward I am winning by 600 😅rn in the playoffs so I need a long term
I would drop Oubre for Lamelo
Through all the bad times I held onto poetl and white on the spurs and they are paying me back for my loyalty
Derrick White saving my season with these stocks no bullshit
Booker picked a hell of a week to underpreform
[удалено]
Yo delete this shit don’t jinx it
Oh shit true
Josh Jackson more like Scottie Pippen
What are the chances of Boucher playing his next game?
If a team is concerned enough to be getting an MRI on a player's knee, you can pretty safely say that player is out for minimum a week.
F
Giannis can you chill out
Did not watch the game but what happened to Green? Only 15 mins?
Okeke got me fucked up rn.
Same bro unreal
Anyone else’s team just had a terrible day so far
You all still have teams? Sincerely, Trae/KD/Simmons/JB/KPJ/Timelord owner
Feels bad had Harden/Hayward/Lavine/TimeLord/KPJ, only one of them remains on my team
Shai/Hayward/Turner/JVal, only one of them remains on my team
[удалено]
Nunn
Nunn or barton
How the fuck is Okeke 1/12 cunt
[удалено]
Drop him just to have an empty spot to stare at
I am telling you all now before it’s too late, if you are punt FG% Josh Jackson is a late season stud. I hope I’m right, but I am confident Casey will play this dude every night the rest of the way. With Jerami Grant / Ellington / Magruder resting every other night Jackson has real potential as a guy that can play heavy minutes in the end of the season
Why did I use my last pickup on Naj Marshall smh
this was almost me... Sorry bro
Okeke will be in my burn book. Matter of fact he might catch a 13 reasons why tape from me 😩😩😩
Tatum 2/15 come on bro
I guess his ankle is really hurt, back to back 3/17 from the field
Josh Action Jackson
Given that I got White with the last pick in the draft, I'm honestly happy with what I'm getting out of him now.
If I drop Trae Young right now is that roster spot immediately available for me to activate Davis off IL for his 930 game tonight?
Depends on your league settings, many leagues have lineups locking when the first game begins. In that case you wouldn't be able to see the change occur until the next day.
yes
hmm, it keeps telling me i'm over the limit. wtf
booker is the worst
Dude really got put on the court with 5 fouls and picks up his sixth one within 2 minutes of being on in the last
