BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues
ANALYSIS: You might like this, or you might not, but there is nothing false about it: Denver is fixed on starting veteran Paul Millsap and that won't change any time soon. Millsap has started every game for the Nuggets, and after the departures of Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee, Millsap is even more perched to the staring PF position. Not that it's a bad thing, considering he's still available to roster in more than half of Yahoo leagues.
Millsap is starting but not playing a ton of minutes. He's averaging almost 24 MPG on the season, and in the past two weeks, he's played a bit more clocking in at near 26 a night. While not logging a lot of minutes for a starter, the truth is that Millsap is playing better each passing day on a per-minute basis, having raised his FP/min season average of 0.91 (league average) to a much more palatable 1.16 mark going back a week.
You can expect gaudy numbers from Millsap on the shooting front. The vet is hitting 51.6 percent of his FGA, of which he's attempting 7+ on the season per game. He is not adept at going to the line, but when he does he's boasting a 75.6 FT%. Millsap is a steady source of points, rebounds, and 1-2 assists while he often ends with 1+ triple and almost entirely avoids turning the ball over more than once per game.
