J.R. Smith isn’t mentioned in this week’s main list, but it’s worth noting he had 28 points and a full stat line on Sunday in a start for the Knicks. When he gets hot, he can be fun to own, but his runs usually don’t last very long. But if he continues to start for New York, he’s worth a close look in all fantasy leagues.

Point Guards

Trey Burke Jazz 66% – Don’t look now, but Burke has scored in double figures in three straight games, one of which was a double-double against the Hawks when he had 11 points and 11 dimes. The shooting is still atrocious, but at least it can only get better from here. He’s averaging 9.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 3-pointers over his last five games, but is shooting only 30.5 percent. If you already stink at field goal percentage, adding Burke makes a lot of sense, especially since he’s playing 33 minutes a night.

Avery Bradley Celtics 59% – Bradley was probably dropped a lot with his two-game week, but the Celtics go four times this week. He’s scored in double figures in six straight games, and is averaging 13.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 3-pointers on admirable 44 percent shooting over his last five. He’s also guaranteed of heavy minutes again this week with Marcus Smart not likely to play this week.

Zach LaVine Wolves 12% – LaVine is starting for Ricky Rubio, but hasn’t been able to make shots. Mo Williams has been terrible off the bench and while LaVine hasn’t been very good, he’s still got a chance to improve. He’s averaging just 6.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.4 steals on 35 percent shooting, but like I said, I can see him playing better this week.

Donald Sloan Pacers 45% – Sloan had a couple duds last week (2 points on Monday, 6 points on Saturday), but is still the starting point guard in Indy. He’s going to be dropped this week with only two games, while George Hill should be getting closer to a return from his knee injury. Sloan is still averaging 9.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 3-pointers on 37 percent shooting over his last five games, meaning he’s still worth a cheap look in daily leagues. But I wouldn’t plan on using him in weeklies with just two games this week.

Norris Cole Heat 12% – Cole is still struggling, but has played 28 and 27 minutes in each of his last two games. He’s averaging just 5.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five, but has hit just one 3-pointer and is shooting 41 percent over that stretch. But in deeper leagues, he might be the best point guard available on your waiver wire.

Shooting Guards

Arron Afflalo Nuggets 71% – Afflalo failed to even score a week ago Friday and then got benched on Wednesday, scoring four points in 10 minutes against the Blazers. He’s really bounced back in his last two games though, scoring 17 with three 3-pointers on Friday, and then going for 18 points and five treys on Sunday. If he was dropped after his bad games, it’s time to grab him.

Evan Fournier Magic 44% – Fournier has been hot and could take a hit with the return of Victor Oladipo, but the good news is that he started on Saturday, while rookie Elfrid Payton came off the bench. If the Magic continue to head in that direction, Fournier is going to prosper. He’s averaging 20.2 points, 1.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.6 3-pointers over his last five games and should be owned in all leagues as long as he’s starting for Orlando.

Courtney Lee Grizzlies 65% – Lee has scored in double figures in six straight games and is averaging 14.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 3-pointers on 50 percent shooting over his last five. He came off the bench on Saturday, but played 31 minutes and scored 12 points. He should be owned in most leagues.

Ben McLemore Kings 26% – McLemore had hit double figures in scoring in five straight games before scoring just eight on Saturday, but that came against the defensive-minded Spurs. He’s averaging 14.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 3-pointers over his last five games, hitting 52 percent of his shots. He’s also hitting 82 percent of his free throws and looks like a player who can help most teams as the Kings starting shooting guard.

Anthony Morrow Thunder 36% & Marcus Thornton Celtics 2% – Morrow has played pretty well since returning from his knee injury and is averaging 16.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.3 3-pointers on 50 percent shooting in his three games. The Thunder are so banged up, Morrow simply has to get good minutes off the bench right now. Thornton had 12 points and two 3-pointers in 18 minutes on Friday, and while he doesn’t appear to be nearly as valuable as Morrow, he could start knocking down threes on the regular. Just keep an eye on him.

J.R. Smith isn’t mentioned in this week’s main list, but it’s worth noting he had 28 points and a full stat line on Sunday in a start for the Knicks. When he gets hot, he can be fun to own, but his runs usually don’t last very long. But if he continues to start for New York, he’s worth a close look in all fantasy leagues.

Thornton had 12 points and two 3-pointers in 18 minutes on Friday, and while he doesn’t appear to be nearly as valuable as Morrow, he could start knocking down threes on the regular. Just keep an eye on him.

Small Forwards

Harrison Barnes Warriors 36% – Barnes has scored in double figures in four straight games and is starting at small forward over Andre Iguodala, who has basically been useless. He’s averaging 15.75 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.75 3-pointers over his last four games in 30 minutes a night. As long as he’s starting for the Dubs, he should be owned in most fantasy leagues.

Gerald Green Suns 64% – Green is completely a hit-or-miss player and if you get him on the right (or wrong) night, he can make or break your team. Green has scored 26, 0, 28, 19 and 6 points in each of his last five games, and has seen 19 or fewer minutes in three of those. He’s not really trustworthy, but if you throw him out there for four games in a weekly league, he should come through in the end. He’s averaging 15.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.6 3-pointers on 42 percent shooting over his last five, despite getting just 19.2 minutes per game. I’m starting him in most leagues this week, and just hoping for three good games and a dud.

Danilo Gallinari Nuggets 53% – Gallinari is still on a minutes limit and has yet to really do much. He did have 12 points and three 3-pointers on Friday against the Pacers, but then scored five against the Knicks on Sunday. He’s getting around 18 minutes a game and has hit seven triples in his last five, but is more of a stash guy until he starts getting more minutes.

K.J McDaniels Sixers 21% – KJM took a hit by moving to the bench recently, but still has a chance to earn a starting job from coach Brett Brown. Much like Gallo, McDaniels has yet to break out. He’s averaging just 8.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.6 blocks and 0.8 3-pointers over his last five games, and is averaging 25 minutes per. He’s a good player to stash so you’ll be a step ahead of the game once the Sixers finally turn him loose. I’m still concerned about his ability to score, but his blocks and steals should help ease the pain.

James Johnson Raptors 9% – Johnson had 16 points, five boards, one assist, four steals and four blocks on 7-of-9 shooting in 24 minutes on Thursday, which turned some heads. He’s averaging 8.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 12 steals and 1.6 blocks over his last five, and while his scoring is frustrating, he’s filling it up in enough categories to be given a look in most deep leagues. 

Power Forwards

Channing Frye Magic 62% – Frye’s inconsistency can be maddening and he’s scored 14, 6, 9, 19 and 13 points in each of his last five games. He’s averaging 12.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, a steal and 3.0 3-pointers over his last five and that means he should be owned in all leagues.

Carlos Boozer Lakers 71% – Boozer has bounced back recently, racking up double figures in scoring and averaging 16.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and a steal on 56 percent shooting over his last five games. And with Julius Randle out for the year, Boozer should get 30 minutes a night as long as his old body will let him play.

Chris Copeland Pacers 46% – The two-game week means we’re going to see Copeland hitting waiver wires soon, but he’s still playing pretty well for Indy, despite a couple duds last week. He’s averaging 10.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 3-pointers over his last five games, but hitting just 33 percent of his shots. Once he gets his confidence back and starts making shots again, he’ll get it turned around.

Ed Davis Lakers 29% – Davis hasn’t been lighting up the scoreboard, but is hitting shots, rebounding and blocking shots. He’s averaging 6.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks over his last five games, and looks like a decent start this week with four games.

Kris Humphries Wizards 3% – Nene played well through a shoulder injury on Saturday, but Humps was still able to get loose for 16 points and six rebounds in 26 minutes. He’s scored in double figures in three of his last four games and is averaging 7.25 rebounds over that stretch. He might be able to give you some big-man help in a deep league.

Centers

Miles Plumlee Suns 35% – Plumlee’s not really much of an offensive option on the loaded Suns, but has still been somewhat effective at center for them. He’s averaging 9.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 0.6 blocks over his last five games, hitting 56 percent of his shots.

Steven Adams Thunder 18% – Adams still hasn’t really blown up, but he’s averaging 7.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 1.4 blocks over his last five games on 47 percent shooting. He’s playing 28 minutes per game right now and should continue to improve as the season moves forward.

Chris Kaman Blazers 17% – The minutes are kind of low and he’s coming off the bench, but Kaman is still somehow producing. He’s averaging 12.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.8 blocks over his last five games, despite playing just 19 minutes a night. And there’s no reason he can’t keep up that pace for the foreseeable future.

Samuel Dalembert Knicks 13% – Dalembert’s scoring is a mess, but he’s blocking shots and played well against Denver on Sunday. He’s averaging just 4.2 points over his last five games, but also 6.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks. He’s only worth a look in deep leagues, but should keep blocking shots.

Timofey Mozgov is another guy to consider here, but is averaging just 5.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and one block over his last five games. The big problem is that he’s in a shooting slump, hitting just 32 percent over his last five.  

Henry Sims Sixers 27% – Sims has hit double digits in scoring in three of his last five games, averaging 9.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks during that stretch. He’s getting about 25 minutes per night and could be ready to get hot, if the Sixers don’t mess with his minutes. He played just 16 minutes on Thursday, but then played 30 on Friday.
