BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues
ANALYSIS: I'm not sure most fantasy GMs out there thought about Free-Agent Otto Porter Jr. becoming 2022 Otto Porter Jr. In other words, OPJ is besting all projections, has become a bona fide rotation player for the Warriors, and even with Klay Thompson back and Draymond Green around (and coming back to the lineup soon) Otto has still delivered the goodies with completely efficient ways.
Porter was fantastic prior to Dray's injury, but he's now leveled up his game and raised his numbers all across the board starting at the PF position. It's been six starts at PF in the past seven games for Otto through Friday spanning two weeks of play. Porter is playing around 25 MPG in that span while posting a 10-6-2-2 per-game line in those minutes. That's far far from bad, folks, as it'd prorate to a 14-8-3-3 over 36 MPG. Not that we can complain about this guy's playing time and role these days, though.
Porter has dropped 9+ points in six of the past seven games and has hit on a triple (or more) in the past nine games he's played and he has yet to miss on hitting at least one 3PM in a game since he did so all the way back on Jan. 9. The shooting has been sublime in this starting stint with a 51.6% shooting percentage from the field. Barely a trip to the free-throw line, though, but Otto makes up for that with pinpoint accuracy that includes a bunch of three-point attempts and makes. Not many turnovers and upside on the boards and, perhaps more importantly, the scarce steals cat.
