Malik Beasley - SF/SG, Milwaukee Bucks

Yahoo: 58% rostered
Season Average: 29 MPG | PRA:12.1/4.4/1.4
Last Seven Games: 38 MPG | PRA: 17.7/3.3/1.4

Beasley has been a great addition to the Milwaukee Bucks as their fifth starter. He has been performing exceptionally well recently, hitting at least four triples in five straight games. He is a reliable player when it comes to 3-pointers, and he can also provide in other categories. Keep an eye out for Beasley on Thursday when the Bucks face the Indiana Pacers, who currently allow the most points per game in the NBA.

 

Ayo Dosunmu - PG/SG, Chicago Bulls

Yahoo: 4% rostered
Season Average: 18 MPG | PRA: 6.5/1.6/1.7
Last Seven Games: 36 MPG | PRA: 14.5/3/1.7

In Saturday's win against the New Orleans Pelicans, Dosunmu showcased his ability to impact the game by creating chaos on defense, grabbing steals, and finishing fast break dunks. Dosunmu can quickly transition from defense to offense, putting pressure on opponents to score in transition.

“His tempo is changing,” coach Billy Donovan said. “He’s reading the floor. He’s setting things up a lot better. He’s giving himself a chance to create more penetration, which is where he’s good. He’s making decisions and he’s doing a really good job.” The hustle is real, and these numbers will only increase as the season progresses.

 

Keyonte George - PG/SG, Utah Jazz

Yahoo: 45% rostered
Season Average: 26 MPG | PRA: 10.5/3.3/5
Last Seven Games: 34 MPG | PRA: 16.5/5/5

In the absence of Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, and Kelly Olynyk, George led the Jazz team to a 118-113 overtime victory. He played an outstanding game, scoring a season-high 21 points, along with six rebounds and six assists.

George has maintained an average of 10.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 5.0 assists while shooting 34.7% from the field during the first quarter of his season. However, his performance has improved in the last seven games, and his numbers are going up. Although the Jazz were missing key players in these last couple of games, George will continue to shine, and his stats will continue to improve.

 

Brandin Podziemski - SG, Golden State Warriors

Yahoo: 4% rostered
Season Average: 19 MPG | PRA: 7.3/4.3/2.2
Last Seven Games: 34 MPG | PRA: 12.5/7/2.2

The emergence of Podziemski is raising rotational questions for Golden State. When the Warriors are fully healthy, coach Steve Kerr often has to bench a high-profile player like Andrew Wiggins or Klay Thompson to give Podziemski more playing time.

The Warriors may have the opportunity to welcome Chris Paul, who is recovering from a leg injury, and Andrew Wiggins, who is dealing with a finger injury, back to the team before tonight's game. However, Podziemski has made a strong case for receiving more playing time.

 

Nickeil Alexander-Walker - SG/SF, Minnesota Timberwolves

Yahoo: 5% rostered
Season Average: 12.1 MPG | PRA: 5/2.1/0.5
Last Seven Games: 28 MPG | PRA: 13/7/0.5

Alexander-Walker has quickly become a fan favorite of the T-Wolves for his hustle and heart, both of which will be in action tonight versus the Spurs, who are allowing 123.9 points per game, ranking 28th in the league. They are 20th in the league in rebounds allowed and are giving up 28.7 assists per game.

Anthony Edwards continues to be day-to-day, and if he doesn't play tonight, look for NAW to continue making an impact in Edwards' absence.
