"The NBA season will reach the one-month mark this week, and the action keeps rolling along. Players continue to get unexpected opportunities and are taking full advantage of them. This week's players of interest contain some veteran starters that are settling into their roles, some players getting added minutes due to injury and making them most of the opportunity, and some very young players who are already showing they have the game to produce at the NBA level."
"Daniss Jenkins, PG, Detroit Pistons (11.7% rostered in ESPN leagues): Jenkins ended last week in the convergence of improved play of late and increased opportunity due to the injury absence of Cade Cunningham. Jenkins had picked it up before Cunningham went out, scoring 24 points with 8 rebounds, 4 steals, 4 3-pointers and 3 assists in 34 minutes last Monday. Then, in the two games Cunningham was out, Jenkins averaged 18.5 PPG, 10.0 APG and 2.5 3PG."
The NBA season reaches the one-month mark as players gain unexpected opportunities and maximize them. Veteran starters are settling into defined roles while other players receive added minutes due to injuries and capitalize on expanded responsibilities. Several very young players are already showing the ability to produce at the NBA level. Lightly-rostered players can provide meaningful fantasy value and help fantasy squads. Daniss Jenkins benefitted from Cade Cunningham's absence, posting a 24-point, eight-rebound, four-steal, four-3-pointer, three-assist game and then averaging 18.5 PPG, 10.0 APG and 2.5 3PG in two games.
