Paolo Banchero, PF, Orlando Magic: With his extended injury absence, some fantasy hoops managers may be getting antsy and willing to move on from him. But, before his injury, Banchero was off to an outstanding start to the season. And in his absence, Franz Wagner was putting up monster numbers until his own injury. The Magic will need for Banchero to produce in a big way on a nightly basis, making him good long-term value.
James Harden, PG/SG, LA Clippers: I'd trade Harden while his value is at its highest point. His volume has been higher this season with Kawhi Leonard out, up 5.5 PPG and 1.3 RPG from last season. But Kawhi is getting closer to a potential return, able to play in a 5-on-5 contact scrimmage last week, and when he does it moves Harden back into a secondary role in the Clippers' offense.
RJ Barrett, SF/PF, Toronto Raptors: Barrett is having a stellar season, averaging 23.5 PPG, 6.8 RPG, and 6.1 APG with a 29.3% usage rate, making him a strong 'Most Improved Player' candidate. However, with Immanuel Quickley set to return, Barrett's usage and production are likely to dip. For fantasy managers, now might be the ideal time to trade him at peak value.
