"Naji Marshall and Brandin Podziemski are heating up in fantasy as we enter the final week of January, while Paul George and Draymond Green are heading in the wrong direction. Meanwhile, Kel'el Ware has hit rock bottom and is impossible to figure out going forward, but has an incredible skill set. So what should we make of all this? Here's what you should do with each of these players, and other risers and fallers."
"The Dallas Mavericks are a bit of a mess and need an offensive savior not named Cooper Flagg, and Marshall has stepped up in a big way recently. I already had Marshall queued up for this column before he exploded to tie his season high with 30 points on 10-of-12 shooting Thursday night, adding seven rebounds, nine assists and two 3-pointers in a win over Golden State."
"Coming into Thursday's game, Marshall was averaging 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 3-pointers while shooting a stellar 55% from the field. Most of those numbers went up with Thursday's performance, although he didn't have a steal or a block. He's hit 12-of-12 free throws over his last two games and has helped the surging Mavericks win five of their last six games."
Naji Marshall and Brandin Podziemski are emerging as valuable fantasy options late in January. Paul George and Draymond Green are showing negative trends that diminish their fantasy appeal. Kel'el Ware appears to have hit rock bottom and remains unpredictable despite an intriguing skill set. The Dallas Mavericks are struggling and leaned on Marshall, who delivered a 30-point, 10-of-12 shooting performance with seven rebounds and nine assists in a win over Golden State. Marshall averaged 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 threes while shooting 55% before that game, and he has hit 12-of-12 free throws over two games, helping Dallas win five of six. Fantasy managers should adjust keep/cut/add decisions and seek value in both points and category formats based on these trends.
