BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 23% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Sacramento Kings small forward/power forward Jabari Parker (shoulder) has been out since early January but appears to be close to making his return. Parker was traded from the Hawks to the Kings prior to the trade deadline. With the news that the Kings could potentially be without Marvin Bagley (foot) for the rest of the year, Parker has become an extremely enticing speculative add in many formats.
Parker averaged 15 points and six rebounds per game over 32 games with the Hawks this year. He was seeing about 26 minutes per game in Atlanta and has a good chance to see similar playing time in Sacramento. Parker has shot 49.2% from the field over his career and has averaged about one three-pointer per game since his third year in the NBA, 2016-17. He should be able to help in both of those categories, in addition to points and rebounds.
Add Parker in leagues of 14 teams or deeper if he's still available in your league. In more shallow leagues, keep an eye on how the Kings use him when he returns and if he appears to be seeing over 20 minutes per game once he's eased into the rotation, he'll likely be worthy of adding in 12-team leagues.
