BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues
ANALYSIS: This is probably the last time I write about Batum as a WW-target over here, basically because he keeps putting up numbers while starting for the Clips and his rostership is growing by the day. But given Batum is still available in almost 60% of Yahoo leagues, it is still worth honoring him one last mention here.
What you read above is correct. The part about starting, I mean. Batum has started every game for the Clips this season, eight at the power-forward position and the other one at SF. No matter the spot, he's been a good asset for a strong Clippers team where he's playing 29+ MPG over the year and up to almost 32 MPG in his last four games going back to Jan. 1st.
Batum has averaged an impressive 16-5-2 line in his three past games through Thursday, has shot 55.6 percent from the floor on 30 total FGA in that span, and has committed just 3 total turnovers in those three games. Playing in the same unit has the Clips two other studs is going to cut Batum's upside no matter what (he has a low 17.1% usage rate) but even in that situation he will keep playing a ton of minutes and exploiting defensive gaps generated by PG13 and Kawhi. Must add for every fantasy GM out there.
