BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 61% of leagues
ANALYSIS: This definitely breaks my self-imposed rule of not writing about players rostered on more leagues than not when it comes to WW posts, but this might also be the last time you have a shot at landing a legitimate starter part of a loaded squad in Aaron Gordon and the Denver Nuggets.
Gordon has been out for a week after getting hit by the non-COVID but that seems to be affecting half the league. He has missed three games in that span including Friday's game against the Mavericks most recently.
When available and in the last few games he was able to appear in, Gordon was better than ever before this season, thus the window of opportunity to exploit now and before he comes back and makes fantasy GMs realize how good he's been to date. The forward went from averaging 27 FPPG in October (seven games) to 32 FPPG in November (six games).
Gordon has played 30+ minutes in four of his last six games and has reached 30+ FP in four of those (and the one before to close October). It's now been seven games in a row for Gordon hitting at least 60% of all of the field-goal attempts he's gone for while scoring an average of 15+ PPG and 1.2+ 3PM per game.
The return of Nikola Jokic shouldn't take a lot of value from Gordon as both have shared the floor and stayed off the court for virtually the same time, so the outcomes are expected to remain the same without much competition for SF/PF minutes in Gordon's way either.
