BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Pelicans seem to be active in the selling market. Both Lonzo Ball and JJ Redick are being dangled around to see who baits, and reports are saying that NOLA is also trying to package those two with more players to send them all out of town. What does that mean? More--even more, I mean--minutes for the likes of Josh Hart, among other young guys in the squad.
Again, it is not that Hart isn't playing a ton of minutes already. Hart is coming off the bench for the Pels, which makes sense looking at the starting five, but he's running for more than 27 minutes a night while registering usage rates near 15% during the past two weeks. Going back to Jan. 29 (eight games played), Hart has scored at least 10 points in five of those outings, has scored 1+ trey in all but one game, and he also got a couple of dub-dubs in that span.
On the season, Hart is holding onto an 8-8-2-1 line. In the past two weeks, though, he's leveled up and raised that baseline to a slightly better 10-8-3-1 while shooting 45% from the floor. Hart is a player worth targeting in deep leagues nowadays, but if Zo/JJ are sent packing, he will instantly become a must-add asset in virtually every league.
