Fantasy Hoops – Daily Adds 2/12/21
In season long leagues I look to keep one spot available on my roster that can be used to pick up a player to plug into my lineup every day. It’s a tradeoff between a low end player that maybe gets you 10-12 fantasy points per game (but is only playing 3-4 games per matchup) and getting a player of a similar level that can be plugged into your lineup every day.
Who I’m looking at today:
Lou Williams (Available in 40% of leagues): I talked about Lou Williams on Wednesday and if he’s still out there he should be your top target. He posted a 27/5/4 line against Minnesota on Wednesday night and gets another favorable matchup tonight against the Bulls
Hamidou Diallo (Available in 60% of leagues): Diallo has scored in double figures in 11 straight games and has played over 30 minutes in his last five. You can count on at least a handful of rebounds and assists to go along with his scoring.
Rui Hachimura (Available in 54% of leagues): Hachimura has played at least 23 minutes in his last 8 games and has scored in double figures in 5 of those games. He’s grabbed at least 5 rebounds in 7 of his last 8 games and you can usually throw a few assists in there too.
Looking ahead to the weekend on Saturday I like Juan Toscano-Anderson (90%) and Kendrick Nunn (63%). Toscano-Anderson has recorded at least 8 rebounds in 4 of his last 5 games and has scored at least 8 points in 5 of his last 6. Kendrick Nunn has scored in double figures in 11 straight games and has played at least 30 minutes in 10 straight. He’s seeing an increased role with Goran Dragic sidelined with an ankle injury. On Sunday take a look at Josh Hart (83%) and Frank Kaminsky (95%). Josh Hart – the dude just gets rebounds and he should be in a good spot to grab plenty of those on Sunday against Detroit. Kaminsky has been starting in place of the injured Jae Crowder and has been making the most of the opportunity – in his last four games he’s posted lines of 15/5/1, 9/9/2, 9/5/5 and 14/8/8. His production could dip some if Crowder returns to the starting lineup but Kaminsky has shown the ability to put up good numbers in almost all categories.
Remember – when in doubt, go for guys that are getting good playing time and crash the boards for free points.
