BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues
ANALYSIS: The arrival of Anthony Edwards last season surely brought Malik Beasley's upside down a notch, and there is nothing wrong about that. Edwards has delivered goodies steadily for the Wolves, keeps improving, and there is nothing stopping Ant the Man. But Malik Beasley, back with the squad this season, has been playing 17+ minutes nightly and he's taken on a heavier role from Oct. 30 on that has me excited.
Beasley, mind you, has still come off the pine every game this season and that won't change any time soon. BUT. Malik has been absolutely devastating in the past four days, all of them in which he's played 27+ minutes dropping 11+ points and 3+ triples, grabbing 2+ rebounds, dishing out 1+ dime, and stealing 1 rock each time. That's fantastic to watch happen in real-time if you ask me.
On the season, Malik is putting up an average 6-2-2 line but he's revved up of late with a whopping 15-3-1-1 line in 31 MPG even on a kinda-low 21.5 USG%. The shooting has been all around the place going from 12.5% on 8 FGA back on the third game of the year to a reasonable 42.9% on 14 FGA just last weekend. Beasley is a walking bucket, a preternatural three-point/spot shooter, and a low-but-steady source of all boards/dimes/steals without many turnovers attached to his outcomes.

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.
