Guards
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Los Angeles Lakers
KCP has quietly scored in double figures in eight of nine games, and he sprinkled in 19 points and four triples Sunday. Expect him to see a decent share with superstar LeBron James (groin) banged up. He won't contribute much more than points and threes, but the appetite is there for the feast.
Damion Lee, Golden State Warriors
The 27-year old from Louisville has been a beast lately. He had two double-doubles last week with 18 points and 12 boards and 22 points and 15 boards, respectively. Over the last five, he has averaged 18 points, 9.8 boards and 2.6 dimes. He has a ton of leeway on the injury-decimated team. If he's still floating out there, scoop him up.
Jordan McRae, Washington Wizards
The 28-year-old has stepped up in star guard Bradley Beal's (calf) absence. In Monday's game, he went off with 29 points and eight assists. Beal is on the mend and questionable for Wednesday's game, which may make McRae's run a short one. However, he has posted at least 20 points in two straight. Pick him up for depth.
Forwards
Ersan Ilyasova, Milwaukee Bucks
Ilyasova is on a double-double diet with 16.3 points and 14 boards the last three games. Some of that was done without reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo (back), who missed a couple of games due to a back ailment. However, he returned Monday for Ilyasova's 14-and-11 night. The value may not last, but he's definitely a short-term option for points, boards and a few triples.
Michael Porter Jr., Denver Nuggets
The talented sophomore scored in double figures in back-to-back games before Tuesday night's seven points and three boards in just 11 minutes. Porter missed his entire rookie season recovering from a back injury, and the team is bringing him along slowly. He has a tall ceiling, and if he's out there in deep or dynasty formats, he needs to be owned. If an owner has grown annoyed with his development or with the last game's paltry 11 minutes, swoop in for the value.
Centers
Isaiah Hartenstein, Houston Rockets
The 21-year-old big man came out of nowhere last week with three solid performances. He boasted with 14.7 points and 11.3 boards per game over the stretch. He played just 18 minutes Tuesday night and still posted 16 points and 12 boards. Hartenstein needs to be owned everywhere since the position is so scarce.
