Fantasy NBA Daily Notes: Young Clippers are providing value

0 Comment


In a busy Monday night in the NBA, Anthony "The Brow" Davis bested Kawhi "The Klaw" Leonard in Toronto in a marquee matchup of two of the league's truly elite talents. The LA Clippers, meanwhile, put the league on notice with another impressive win, this time over the Warriors.cheap nike nfl jerseys from china

After beating an impressive Milwaukee Bucks team on Saturday in overtime, the Clippers delivered yet another overtime victory, outdueling Kevin Durant and his first triple-double of the season. The Clips are the first team this season to win consecutive overtime games and are the sole team, albeit within the context of a small sample, to have downed both the Bucks and the Warriors.4

We know the big names for the Warriors, yet the fantasy market is still learning to appreciate the Clippers' effectively deep rotation. Consider Montrezl Harrell, for instance -- the Clippers' impact big off the bench, who is found at 10th in the league in player efficiency rating (PER), thanks to awesome scoring efficiency and 2.8 combined blocks and steals per game. You can add Harrell in three-quarters of ESPN leagues for the cost of a roster spot.nfl nike jerseys cheap china

I've been championing proactive shares of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Clippers' dynamic rookie point guard, and he's beginning to produce fun returns. The Kentucky product has started the past three games, averaging a healthy 37.9 MPG en route to an impressive line that includes 17.7 PPG, 4.7 RPG, 3.0 APG, 1.0 SPG, 1.7 BPG, 1.3 3PG. All over the floor and likely to have the keys to this LA offense going forward, don't let "SGA" be a UFA (unrestricted free agent) in your fantasy league(s).

Picking up on this thread of underappreciated players who performed well last night, it wasn't just Davis and his season-high 20 rebounds that earned the Pelicans the rousing win on Monday, shooting guard E'Twaun Moore went with 30 points on 18 shots. The Pelicans' depth chart at the wing is uniquely weak using a league-wide lens, affording Moore unfettered shooting freedom going forward. Moore is rostered in 1.9 percent of ESPN leagues as of Tuesday morning despite averaging 14.8 PPG and 30.8 MPG on the season.
