BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Seven games played by the Clippers after Christmas, and six starts for Eric Bledsoe in this span (to go with another 36-minute outing as part of the starting five on Dec. 22). Bledsoe has taken full advantage of the Clips woes on the injury/protocol front and has grabbed full hold of the LA point putting up very serious numbers. The rostership doesn't make much sense, so take advantage while the bargain lasts.
Bledsoe's last eight games have seen him play 30 MPG while putting up an average 14-5-3-1 line on a per-game basis. Truth be told, Bledsoe's last couple of outings have been horrid on shooting (zero and 33% on 3 and 12 FGA respectively), but other than that he was good for an overall 40% from the field (all eight games considered) and/or a very spicy 48% (removing those two duds) depending on how positively you look at Eric-B's numbers.
The Clips should have Luke Kennard back probably as soon as you read this, but other than that there aren't many bodies sitting on the shelves that could eat from Bledsoe's cake. In other words: the role should stay the same for a while when it comes to Bledsoe playing his 30 minutes, shooting 12+ shots a game, and contributing fantastic points, assists, and shooting percentages at all three levels. Keep an eye on the turnovers, though, as they've been sky-high at 3.1 TOPG from Dec. 15 on.
