Forwards
John Collins – A promotion to the starting lineup and Bradley Beal’s season-ending surgery haven’t helped Collins improve his disappointing production. The forward/center can record a solid line here and there, but it’s not enough, especially in shallow leagues.
Tristan da Silva – When Paolo Banchero went down with an injury, da Silva stepped up. However, he’s cooled off over the past few contests. The sophomore is a decent streamer for some points, rebounds and threes.
Tari Eason – Eason is out for multiple weeks after suffering a strained oblique. The forward was having a solid season but tended to run hot and cold.
Rui Hachimura – With the Lakers back at full strength, Hachimura is irrelevant in most fantasy leagues. The 27-year-old is streamable when given more opportunities, but he has a limited skillset.
Herbert Jones – Injuries are once again limiting Jones. However, even when he’s healthy, his numbers don’t impress much. Instead, other players are stepping up to fill the void for the shorthanded Pelicans.
Nikola Jovic – Injuries have been a long-standing issue for Jovic, and it’s already affecting him this season. His role has declined and poor shooting splits are also hurting his ranking.
Kyle Kuzma – While Kuzma is putting together a better campaign than last year, it’s not enough to warrant a spot on most rosters. He’s lacked consistency and doesn’t contribute much outside of points and rebounds.
Naji Marshall – Team injuries haven’t done much to boost Marshall’s production. The problem is that the 27-year-old is very inconsistent, and managers are gambling on what kind of stat line they’ll get from him.
Zaccharie Risacher – Risacher hasn’t made a notable fantasy impact aside from decent averages in points, threes and stocks. The former No. 1 overall pick also hasn’t stepped up much offensively with Trae Young injured.
Klay Thompson – Thompson’s second season with the Mavericks is going even worse than his first. The former Warrior is unreliable and provides little value beyond points and threes.
