BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues
ANALYSIS: All eyes will focus on the additions of Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis. That's reasonable, but only because of the New Toy Bias. As real as it gets, brothers. Dorian Finney-Smith, on the other hand, has kept flying under the radar but he's scored himself a four-year deal worth $50+ million just a couple of days ago, proving how valuable he is--at least from Dallas' perspective--for the Mavs now and going forward. This guy isn't getting off the rotation nor the starting lineup any time soon, so score some shares while you still can.
DFS has started every game he's played this season, and since we flipped the calendar page to February (five games this month through Friday) Dorian has averaged a ridiculous 39 MPG, and only once in those five did he drop below 40 minutes (!) of playing time. Jesus Christ. Obvoisly, the efficiency sucks but only because the minutes can't get much higher. Dorian is making up for that on brute force, bullying his way even on lower usage rates to bulky stat lines packed all across the board.
Dorian has dumped 10+ points in four consecutive games even while stuck in the middle of a shooting slump (38.5% from the field back to Jan. 30). He's hitting 2.3 3PM per game in the past two weeks, has strung four in which he's finished with either two or three treys, and although the turnovers are quite high, so are the rebounds, and most importantly the steals sitting at 1.2 SPG over the season and 1.8 SPG on the month of February.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: One would reasonably think that a player seeing a playing-time boost such as that of Deni Avdija's this month would make said player drop his efficiency numbers.
