BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The Grizzlies will welcome Ja Morant back this week but that won't be the case for Steven Adams, who might actually miss the remainder of the regular season. Luckily enough for Memphis and even more for fantasy GMs out there hurting for late-season help, Xavier Tillman Sr. is doing more than enough to cover for the missing big man.
Tillman has started all games this month while averaging a healthy 28 MPG in which he's been excellent on a super-depressed usage rate as part of the Grizzlies' first unit. Tillman is getting just a 15% usage and hoisting fewer than eight FGA per game in March, but that comes with some positives.
For one, X-Till is finding paydirt on nearly 60% of the shots he attempts (58 FG%) mostly because he just operates in the paint without stretching the floor one tiny bit. That also allows him to stay close to the glass and boost his rebounding numbers (he's averaging seven RPG this month) while quickly dishing out dimes for others to hit open shots (almost three APG).
The steals are great with 1.3 SPG in March (10 games played through Sunday) while Tillman has also scored at a 60%+ clip from the floor in six consecutive games while attempting at least 4+ FGA in each of those.
