Welcome to RotoBaller's weekly dynasty league rundown! Dynasty leagues are becoming more and more popular, and we're here to keep you ahead of the game.
Each week, we'll touch on topics and players that may not necessarily be relevant in single-year formats, but they can make a splash in keeper leagues.
With that being said, let's look at the dynasty rundown for Week 15.

Guards
Danuel House, Houston Rockets
The Rockets have been without star guard James Harden (thigh) for a few games due to a thigh contusion, and House has raised the bar off the bench. He had 21 points, 11 boards, two dimes and five steals Monday. The run is likely to be short lived because Harden isn't expected to be out long. However, they have been resting him and Russell Westbrook off and on, and House could remain a factor in deeper leagues.
Malik Monk, Charlotte Hornets
The former first rounder has gone off the last couple of games with 20 points last Monday and 31 points, five boards and five assists Friday. The 31 was a season high, and he hadn't even scored in double figures this calendar year. So, this binge is out of the ordinary, and it could lead to larger minutes. If he's floating on waivers in deeper leagues, he's worth the speculative grab.
Forwards
Kyle Anderson, Memphis Grizzlies
Anderson has been sneaking up into box scores recently. He had 10 points Jan. 22, and he put up six points, 12 boards, two assists and two blocks in 28 minutes Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. Anderson fits the bill as a fringe deep-league flyer, and you're just hoping to catch lightning in a bottle.
Josh Jackson, Memphis Grizzlies
Point guard Grayson Allen (hip) is out indefinitely, and the team finally recalled Jackson from the G-League. The 22-year-old averaged 20.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 26 games in the G-League. He'll probably be eased in, but this is a former top-five pick. He should be picked up in all deeper or long-term leagues with fingers crossed.
Centers
Mohamed Bamba, Orlando Magic
The sixth overall pick in 2018 has begun to tease in box scores again with 10 points in each of the last two games and five blocks total. He won't collect a ton of boards, but he'll definitely thrive in leagues that lean toward blocks.
Jakob Poeltl, San Antonio Spurs
The former ninth overall pick hasn't found his niche in the league yet. Forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (thumb) went down to a sprained thumb, and Poeltl lit up the stat sheet with 16 points, 13 boards and three blocks Monday. The odds are long for it to continue, but he should be picked up for depth due to the scarcity at the position.
