BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Garrison Mathews career has been so wild that it's still hard to believe. Without getting too deep into the details, let's say G-Mat hold onto his last shot at an NBA stint this past October signing with his lone option--the lowly rebuilding Rockets--and after just a few months, oh boy did that decision look like a life-changing gift for this man.
Mathews debuted as late as Nov. 15 playing just 15 minutes. He already put on a nice 7-1-1 line. Since then, he's played 11 more games and even better he has started all last seven matches played by Houston through Friday. Seriously. The Rockets didn't lose a single game Mathews had started until Friday when they dropped one to the Nets. That's bonkers but not just a coincidence, believe me.
Getting back to Nov. 27 (first start) and in the seven games he's been on the starting five, Mathews has been able to average a silly 18-3 line to go with 1.3 SPG and 0.6 BPG. Not happy enough with that, he's hit at least 3 triples in all of those games he started while averaging a higher 4.3 3MP per game. That's insane. He's shooting 53.2% from the floor on almost 11 FGA a game even though his usage rate is as low as to sit at 15%. No turnovers at all in his daily stat lines, the mighty three-point-scoring prowess, and the overall shooting accuracy all make for a fantastic WW target out of Garrison Mathews.

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.
