BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Wolves have been hit very hard by the health-and-safety-protocols department of late. That's one of the reasons for Malik Beasley's uptick in counting stats and four consecutive starts through Christmas. Had it not been for the absences of Patrick Beverley/Josh Okogie/Anthony Edwards, Beasley would have kept his second-unit role this week. But don't get that wrong, as Beasley was a very interesting WW target before all of those developments and he will keep on being once (if) everything gets back to normalcy.
This past week of play, as a starter and getting a much healthier 23.8% usage rate instead of his prior 18.6%, Beasley has averaged a ridiculous 21-3-3-1 line in four games played. Beasley has scored at least 3 treys every game and averaging an even higher 5.0 3PM a contest. Sweet lord. Beasley was attempting a good-enough 12 FGA in December prior to getting the starting nods and is now at around 18 FGA. As you see, even on the second unit Beasley eats plenty of chances.
Beasley is a fantastic three-point shooter, though his field-goal percentage from the field is always going to hurt because of his long-range shooting tendencies. He's hoisting 8.4 3PA a game on the season while shooting 11.6 shots a game (73% 3PAr) and his shooting splits are currently sitting at 38/35/72. Beasley will give you three-pointers and total points with limited production on all other fronts. In case you want or can take advantage of it, he's also not turning the ball that much with 0.9 TO per game against 1.8 APG.
