BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Even if you don't pay attention to the league that much, you know what's popping: Joel Embiid fell down injured and will be out for a couple of weeks. In the meantime, everything points toward Dwight Howard's direction to take on Embiid's role along with youngster Tony Bradley, as the former has played 20+ minutes in all three games without Embiid dressing.
Howard logged 24 minutes in the first game back from the break and was absolutely great with an 18-12 performance that included a steal and two blocks against Chicago. It was, in fact, his best game of the season. After that, Howard went on to play four more matches averaging 24 minutes per game and putting up 1.18 FP/min, way above the league average (0.90). Even more encouraging is the fact that he's played 28 and 30 minutes in the last couple of games for the Sixers, dropping a couple of dub-dubs in those matches.
Dwight has yet to have a game below 1.00 FP/min in the month of March (7 GP), is averaging an 11-9 line with 2 stocks a night, and although he's not part of the starting unit he's as valuable as he can be off the pine. Must-add in 12+ Team leagues while JoJo remains out, which, again, could be up to a couple of weeks from this weekend on.
