Guards
Alec Burks, Golden State Warriors
The 28-year-old journeyman is the next cog up in the Warriors' depleted backcourt. Burks has dropped 17.2 points, 4.6 boards, 3.8 dimes and 1.9 steals per game in 11 games this month. So it might be a little late to grab him, but he has staying power with so many injuries and inexperience in the backcourt.
Aaron Holiday, Indiana Pacers
The second-year man from UCLA had a statement game Monday night in the 120-115 overtime win over the Toronto Raptors. He finished with 19 points and 10 assists, but he came up big late in the game to propel them to victory. He has scored in double figures in seven straight games, and he's shooting a career-high 41.7 percent from distance. Holiday is a fringe commodity in traditional leagues, but he needs to be owned in dynasty.
Gary Payton II, Washington Wizards
The son of "The Glove" had a phenomenal first game of the season Monday night against the New York Knicks. He had 10 points, 11 rebounds, five dimes and six steals in 34 minutes of action. Point guard Isaiah Thomas has one more game to serve in his suspension, and Payton should have another chance to make a splash and remain in the rotation. Give him the speculative pickup to see if he can build on his epic first game.
Kevin Porter Jr., Cleveland Cavaliers
Porter had 15 points and nine boards in 23 minutes against the Atlanta Hawks Monday. The 19-year-old has been making some noise sporadically and has averaged 11 points and 3.1 rebounds per game this month. The Cavs traded shooting guard Jordan Clarkson to the Utah Jazz, which will open up more minutes for Porter. Pick him up in deeper formats to see what he can do with them.
Forwards
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Toronto Raptors
The Raptors have a slew of injuries on their front line, and the 24-year-old Hollis-Jefferson figures to see increased action at the three. He's averaging 13.3 points, 6.7 boards, four assists and one block per game the last three games. He's not likely to score in bunches, but the playing time and his solid play bode well for multiple-category support.
Centers
Gorgui Dieng, Minnesota Timber Wolves
The 29-year-old veteran has witnessed a resurgence with superstar center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) out with a sprained knee. Dieng has averaged 14.3 points, 8.5 boards and 1.3 steals per game over the last four contests. He'll sprinkle in some threes as well as he's shooting 36.7 percent from deep this year. He'll likely lose luster once KAT comes back, but he needs to be owned everywhere right now.
