BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues
ANALYSIS: If you remember anything about last season, it must be that the Lakers faced the Heat in the Bubble-Finals. That's cool, but what matters most here is that you should remember what--or rather, who--took Miami to a position where they could ultimately contend for the ring: no other than Kendrick Nunn.
I know, I know it was all about Goran Dragic and Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. But earlier in the year and for most of the regular season, Kendrick Nunn was the starting point guard of the team, and although Nunn has yet to start a game this year for the Heat, he's strung three consecutive games of 27+ (34+ in the last two through Wednesday) minutes of playing time and he's been fantastic.
Nunn is barely rostered in Yahoo leagues because he's been forced to miss multiple games (he's only played 8 this season), but he's now back in full force and has dropped 18-5-3-2-1 and 28-8-5-1 lines in the games against Detroit and Toronto this past Monday and Wednesday. I am convinced those were not fluky performances at all, and that Nunn will provide his fantasy GMs with plenty of goodies as we get deeper into the season and he gets in shape. Make sure to target Nunn in virtually every league before his rostership makes it impossible to acquire him for free.
