BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Even if you erase the past week and last four games from Garrett Temple's game log, he would still be a truly valuable WW-target and acquisition through waivers. At 34 years of age, Temple has been reborn in Chicago after signing with the Bulls this past offseason. It took him a few years, but this is the best version of G-Temp we've seen in the league since his heyday in the mid-2010s.
Temple is a role player for a rebuilding Bulls squad that is using the vet as a guide to the younger men in the squad. Temple had started a couple of games prior to Feb. 12, but he's been a starter for four straight matches since that day up to last Friday's contest against Philly. Going back to Feb. 8, Temple has played at least 28 minutes in all of the six outings he's played in that span, averaging 33 MPG and straight balling.
The line in the last five games read 11-4-2-1-1, which is a stuffed one, and on top of that Temple is shooting mightily from the floor hitting shots at a 60 percent clip while he has also scored 1+ trey in each of those matches. Temple will eventually get back to riding the pine, but even coming off the bench he was playing 26+ MPG on the year with an average 8-3-2-1 line before this hot stretch. Definitely one to have rostered in deeper formats out there.
