Guards
Dante Exum, Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavs just lost shooting guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) for maybe a month, and Exum stepped up with 28 points Sunday. Exum won't contribute much except for points and threes, but he should have some leeway in the team's rotation. Pick him up in deeper formats for a short-term option or someone to flip when his value is at its peak.
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, Detroit Pistons
The second-year former Kansas Jayhawk has scored in double figures in four straight games. He's also shooting a lofty 43.2 percent from three-point land, which is higher than his 40.8 percentage overall from the floor. The Pistons have a slew of injuries, and their season is quickly going in the tank. The 22-year-old should remain an option to see what they have in him. Scoop Mykhailiuk if possible.
Shabazz Napier, Minnesota Timberwolves
The 28-year-old really took off the last four games averaging 21.8 points, 6.3 assists, 3.5 boards and 1.3 steals per game. He was filling in for minor injuries to guard Jeff Teague and forward Andrew Wiggins, but they're both back. Napier remained in the rotation. He should be owned everywhere as a possible sell-high chip when the team eventually features rookie Jarrett Culver.
Forwards
Sekou Doumbouya, Detroit Pistons
The 15th pick in the 2019 draft has seen his most extensive action the last three games and posted 12.3 points and 8.7 boards per game. He's being asked to play at the four a lot with Blake Griffin (knee) out, and his points and boards could stick. He just turned 19 last month and is still very raw, but he has shown a spark to build on.
Omari Spellman, Golden State Warriors
Spellman had a productive spurt earlier in the season and relegated back to the pack. The last three games, he has averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 boards and two steals per game. He's a little short at 6-foot-8 to play the four, but he's a big body. His rebounds will be inconsistent due to his athleticism limitations. However, the Warriors are a MASH unit and have little to play for. He has some short-term viability in deeper leagues.
Centers
Anzejs Pasecniks, Washington Wizards
The 7-foot-1 Latvian has done some good board work the last five games. He has averaged just six points per game, but he has hauled in 8.2 rebounds per game in just 21 minutes a night. He is very small at 220 points, and he has no long-range game. So, he's pretty limited offensively. However, he has proven to have a knack on the boards and could prove to be a sneaky piece for long-term outlooks.
