BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues
ANALYSIS: With the three of Jamal Murray, P.J. Dozier, and now Markus Howard also injured and missing at least six weeks of playing time, it's all about Facundo Campazzo manning the point for the Denver Nuggets off the pine. No matter the fact that Monte Morris remains healthy and getting first-unit minutes at the point guard position, Campazzo has found a very solid role in the second unit and has ramped up his time on the court of late.
Facu has played 27+ minutes in all but one of his last six games played, getting back to Dec. 11 (two weeks of play). In all of those matches (included the only one in which he dropped to just 20 minutes), Facu put up 6+ points, 2+ rebounds, 5+ assists and averaged a per-game 8-2-6-1-1 line. That, my friends, is nothing to laugh at considering how ridiculously thing the Nugs squad is and the fact that Campazzo, again, is an off-the-pine player.
Facu's individual numbers are even better, as his true averages are up at 8.3 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 6.6 APG, and 1.6 SPG. He's also hitting 1.5 3PM per game, and although his shooting percentage is going through a very deep slump (34.3% from the field in the past two weeks) he's still making threes in bunches, dishing out ample dimes, and stealing balls like a champ. Low usage, spot-up shooting, and good dimes/steals numbers are what make Facu a solid WW target.
