Buy, Sell, or Hold: OG Anunoby and Eric Bledsoe

By Keith Allison from Owings Mills, USA (Eric Bledsoe) [CC BY-SA 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

Milos Zvekic's buy low, sell high trade advice for Week20 of fantasy NBA. Milos delivers buy/hold/sell recommendations for OG Anunoby and Eric Bledsoe in fantasy basketball leagues.

Playoffs are around the corner and it's time for those final tweaks to our rosters to make them just right. As always, using player's good form to get back more than he's worth is a good way to go. OG Anunoby is one of the guys you can try and swap for a boost in value as he has been on a tear.

On the other hand, Eric Bledsoe has been pretty bad recently. He is too good to be this bad so if you can get him for cheap, do so.

Here are our Sell High and Buy Low candidates for Week 20 of the NBA season, right here at RotoBaller.

Buy Low, Sell High Advice for Week 20

Are You for Real, OG Anunoby?

Seriously, are you!?

He has been even ridiculous lately with 15 steals in his last three outings with averages of 19.7 PTS with 2.0 3PM on 55.0 FG% and 90.0 FT%, 8.3 REB, 2.7 AST, 5.0 STL, 0.3 BLK and 0.3 TO in 39 minutes a game. He is ranked 3rd in the past seven days. That's crazy!

Yes, OG is a great defender - he averages 1.4 steals during this season.

Yes, OG can shoot threes and be efficient - he hits 1.3 per game so far and still keeps his FG% above 50.0.

Yes, OG can rebound - 5.5 a night in 30 minutes a game since the start of the season is nothing to look down upon.

So, in fact - Yes, OG can be a top-50 guy the rest of the way.

But I really doubt he can keep it up at this level. Not only is he outperforming almost all his season averages (except for blocks), he is also playing close to 40 minutes per game. None of this seems sustainable to me.

If you can get a top 25-30 guy back in return, who fits your team equally well or better, I would definitely look into that. A guy like De'Aaron FoxDonovan Mitchell or even Kemba Walker if you trust his health should outperform OG the rest of the way.

If your playoffs start next week, Toronto only has 2 games, so this is another reason to try and swap OG. On the other hand, he plays 11 games during the period of Week 22 - Week 24 so if your playoffs are during this stretch, he might be worth keeping if you think he can keep it going or can't get a decent deal in return.

Baller Move: Sell high

 

Time to Panic on Eric Bledsoe?

Even with Khris Middleton missing two out of Milwaukee's last three games, not even the larger potential for minutes has helped Bledsoe. He has been atrocious during this period with averages of 6.0PTS with 0.3 3PM on 36.8 FG% and 1.000 FT% (total of three attempts), 2.0 REB, 3.7 AST, 1.0 STL, 0.3 BLK and 3.3 TO in under 22 minutes per game. He is barely in the top 300 in Yahoo rankings for the past seven days.

Even though Bledsoe isn't playing as well as his owners, who picked him in the fifth round on average, had hoped this whole season (he is ranked at #100), he is definitely going to improve on his recent performances. He probably isn't going to get more than 25 minutes per game with Milwaukee all but certain to clinch the #1 seed in the East sooner rather than later, but he is still a pretty good shout to be a good source of assists and steals with decent percentages for a guard (45.7 FG% in his career and over 47.5 FG% since joining Milwaukee + 79.6% career FT shooter).

Bledsoe has a pretty good playoff schedule if your playoffs start next week, as he plays on three days with five or fewer games during Weeks 21 and 22, so this is another potential reason for you to take a gamble on him.

Don't overpay however as he could see his minutes limited to preserve him for the playoffs if the Bucks have nothing important to play for during fantasy playoffs. A guy that is in good form at the moment, but you don't expect him to finish the season strong could be good trade bait here. Some players that come to mind are Gary Trent Jr. (playing well currently, but should lose value with the return of Damian Lillard) and Thaddeus Young (really good lately, but with Wendell Carter Jr. back and Lauri Markkanen set to return soon could lose some playing time).

Baller Move: Hold or buy low
