BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues
ANALYSIS: If you watched the Warriors vs. Magic game a few days ago, you probably don't want to know anything about Ennis. Steph Curry switched onto him on a bunch of plays and cooked him with gusto... on defense. On offense, though, Ennis was as good as ever, and in fact, had his best game of the season to this point with a 36-FP performance in which he put up his first dub-dub with a 17-10-1-2 stuffed line. Not bad for a player rostered in barely one of each 10 Yahoo leagues, if you ask me.
With Jonathan Isaac out for the year, Aaron Gordon out at least a month, and Al-Farouq Aminu getting back only slowly, it's been Ennis' year at the SF position this season. Ennis has started 19 of the 20 games he's been part of, all of them consecutively getting back to Jan. 8. And in February we can very well affirm he's stepped up his game a notch.
In the past six games, all of them taking place this month, Ennis has bumped up his averages to a 12-5-1-1 baseline with upside for more. He has scored 10+ points in five of those six games, has hit 7 treys total, and best of all he's shooting a ridiculous 61.4 percent from the floor going back to Jan. 27. If there is a spot-up shooter killing it these days, that's your guy Ennis. He also goes to the line fairly often and avoids turnovers, which makes him a valuable low-usage starter for those in deeper formats.
