BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues
ANALYSIS: After all was said and done, the Pelicans decided to hold onto Lonzo Ball and Eric Bledsoe, yet New Orleans moved on from J.J. Redick. For Josh Hart, that's fantastic. Guys like Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kira Lewis (mostly PGs) won't get many more chances than they were getting already, but Hart will bulk up his workload with his main competition at the SG/SF positions now out of town.

Go Premium, Win More!With the paragraph above I don't mean that Hart needed someone to be moved away to turn into a great fantasy asset. No, sir. He was already playing great basketball and he's been doing so for more than just a few games. Focusing on his performances after the AS break, Hart has played seven games leading up to the deadline logging 27 MPG off the bench and averaging a 9-9-3-1 line while shooting 46 percent from the floor.
You have to keep in mind that Hart isn't generating a lot of volume (8 FGA) but he's a killer when it comes to seizing his opportunities. The low 16% usage rate is good for him given how efficient he's playing. Hart has put up a more than great 1.13 FP/min in his past five games (league average 0.90), he's playing 25-to-30 minutes nightly, and nothing has changed for the bad in New Orleans as to think he'll get worse ROS. One of the best WW-targets out there no matter the league format.
