The teams to target this week are the Portland Trailblazers (4 games), and the Memphis Grizzlies (3 games). These teams are active on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday and can provide multiple players for your fantasy team to maximize statistics and games played.
PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)
NASSIR LITTLE – SF/PF
Currently, Nassir Little is in a 20–25-minute role but will trend upwards if Norman Powell misses time with a quad injury. In any case, Little makes for an adequate option if you need games on the slow nights. Nassir is inconsistent in his production but can contribute points, rebounds, threes, and some steals from the forward position.
ANFERNEE SIMONS – PG/SG
If Norman Powell misses time, Anfernee Simons becomes a useful stream. With Powell out, Simons earns nearly 30 minutes a game and can provide an across-the-board stat profile. Simons had a big game on Friday (11/26) scoring 19 points with 5 threes, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals.
LARRY NANCE JR. – PF
Many of us Fantasy Managers long for the current Larry Nance Jr. to recapture previous years’ magic we have come to love. It’s most likely not happening on the Trail Blazers. However, in deeper leagues, Nance provides some value with upside in field goal percentage, rebounds, and steals from the Power Forward position.
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)
DE’ANTHONY MELTON – PG/SG
The Memphis Grizzlies lost Ja Morant for weeks to a sprained knee, opening the door for larger roles for the Memphis backcourt. This certainly opens the door for Melton, who operates as more of a combo guard. With consistent minutes, Melton excels in threes and steals, but has some upside in points, rebounds, and assists from both guard positions.
KYLE ANDERSON – SF/PF
Kyle Anderson is not the Anderson of last year but is still capable of providing a valuable stream if you need him. Anderson is inconsistent in points but provides moderate value in rebounds, assists, and field goal percentage from the forward spot. It’s hard to tell how his minutes will fluctuate with Ja Morant out, but his value could rise with more minutes, usage, and playmaking responsibility.
TYUS JONES – PG
Much like Melton, Tyus Jones most likely gets a bump in minutes and usage as an offense initiator with the Ja Morant injury. Jones can be useful in assists and steals.
