BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 43% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Goran Dragic has been out of Miami's rotation since Feb. 5 due to an injury (ankle). He's expected to be back midweek, but that's not entirely sure yet and even when he comes back there is a chance he is eased in leading up to the weekend and games taking place two weeks from now. What I mean is that Kendrick Nunn should keep getting starts, as he's done for the past seven games and running.
Nunn has played 31+ minutes in all except one of those seven matches, and although that is killing his per-minute production, he's averaging rather nice total numbers when considering his low usage rate (19.7%). Nunn is keeping up a 15-3-2-1 nightly line, he's an excellent spot-up shooter (3.1 three-pointers per game; four games with 4+), and he's great at rebounding for a point guard.
Playing surrounded by the likes of Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler, and even Duncan Robinson/Tyler Herro is always going to cut his offensive upside, but Nunn is making the most of his chances, and if only for one more week you should target him in the slightest of deeper leagues and even shallower ones. That will change once Dragic is fully fit and back, but that shouldn't happen until the end of next week at least.
