BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 18% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Toronto Raptors power forward/center Chris Boucher should be seeing a substantial increase in playing time with both Marc Gasol (hamstring) and Pascal Siakam (groin) out indefinitely.
Boucher saw some extra run in November while Serge Ibaka was hurt and proved to have some solid value as both a shot-blocker and a rebounder. He had back-to-back double-doubles on November 18 and November 20 and he had two straight multiple-block games on November 10 and November 11.
Boucher also provides value as a center with three-point shooting ability. He's hit 12 threes on 38 attempts this year. His 43.6% field goal percentage isn't ideal for a center, but he's a career 78% free throw shooter, which helps make up for it.
Add Boucher in leagues of 12 teams or deeper for help in blocks and rebounds. He should retain value for several weeks while the Raptors deploy him frequently.
