BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues
ANALYSIS: It's going to be impossible for Chris Boucher to sustain his most recent week-and-change of games. If he can produce at just a remotely close level then we might be witnessing greatness from a player still available in more than half of all ESPN fantasy leagues.
Boucher hit the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Atlanta with a non-COVID illness. There's been a bug going around NBA circles of late and it seems to have reached Toronto of late, with Gary Trent Jr. also out with a similar designation and Fred VanVleet recovering from it right before Saturday's matchup.
In the week spanning from Nov. 11 to Nov. 18, though, Boucher appeared in four games playing an average of 29 MPG while posting up fantasy scores between 28.5 and 42.5 FP each time. He averaged 33.9 FPPG with ridiculous averages of 18+ PPG, 8+ RPG, 1+ SPG, and nearly one dime a pop.
Boucher's shooting numbers have been ludicrous all season with the forward hitting 51%+ of his total field goals and nearly 35% of his 3-point shots while attempting 3+ 3PA a pop. Boucher is one of only 16 non-guard players hitting more than 50% of his FGA while attempting 3+ three-pointers per game.
It is safe to assume the points will go down a notch over time (he's dumped 20, 19, 20, and 15 in his last four games) but even then the shooting percentages have stayed high all year long, Bouch is adept at visiting the free-throw line, and the rebounds are always present in his stat lines.
