The Boston Celtics' opponents this season only took 20.8% of their shot attempts at the rim

That's the lowest rate for any NBA defense in the 21st Century

#FantasyBasketball 🏀

🔵 Jaylen Wells, Grizzlies 🔵

✅Must Add: Deep Leagues
🌊 Stream/Soft Add: Standard/Shallow Leagues
📊 Weak in Points Leagues (0.8 FP/min)

✍️ Memphis' injury report remains extensive, allowing Wells to see more usage. The second-year wing has scored in double digits across each of the past nine games, averaging 15/3/2 with 2.6 3PM while slashing 51/46/72. He's undoubtedly on a hot shooting stretch that won't continue, but he's certainly worthy of a stream today with just three games scheduled. Memphis does also play on low-volume Wednesday and Friday, making him a decent short-term play in many leagues as well.

⚪️ GG Jackson, Grizzlies ⚪️

✅Must Add: Deep/Standard Leagues
🌊 Stream/Soft Add: Shallow Leagues
📊 Good in Points Leagues (1.0 FP/min)

✍️ All the considerations for Jackson are essentially the same as for Wells, though Jackson has been the better fantasy player recently and is more rostered. He's a great stream for this week and should be on deep-league rosters for the long haul assuming nothing changes negatively with his role.

🟣 Malik Monk, Kings 🟣

✅ Must Add: Deep Leagues
🌊 Stream/Soft Add: Standard/Shallow Leagues
📊 Good in Points Leagues (0.9 FP/min)

✍️ I still can't believe Monk is on this team after the deadline, but that's the Kings for you. His role has been pretty steady though over the past month. Across his past 11, Monk is averaging 16/2/3 and hitting 3.2 triples in 24 MPG -- shooting 47/46/88. He's a great short-term add, with the Kings one of just three games on today, then playing on another low-volume Wednesday, which is the front end of a back-to-back. After that he can probably be dropped in most cases, though deep league managers will probably want consider a hold.

🟣 Precious Achiuwa, Kings 🟣

✅ Must Add: Standard Leagues
🌊 Stream/Soft Add: Standard/Shallow Leagues
📊 Good in Points Leagues (0.9 FP/min)

✍️ With Sacramento's frontcourt devastated by injury, Achiuwa has vaulted back into fantasy relevance. In the Kings' most recent game against the Magic, Achiuwa played 34 minutes and posted 14/10/1/4/2. When he plays more than his season average of 20.5 minutes, he averages 11/7/1 with 2.0 STK (26.9 fantasy points). It's hard to say with confidence that he'll continue seeing 30+ minutes, but I think we have to add and find out at this point. Sacramento plays four games from today through Thursday, so the dense schedule helps as well.

🔵 Andre Drummond, 76ers 🔵

✅ Must Add: Nowhere except for streaming
🌊 Stream/Soft Add: Deep/Standard Leagues
📊 Good in Points Leagues (1.1 FP/min)

✍️ Joel Embiid is sitting out a fourth straight game today, with Drummond averaging 8/8/3 with 1.3 BLK (25.7 FP) in 22 MPG in his Embiid's 3 recent absences. The 76ers have a back-to-back today/tomorrow, and then play again Tuesday and Thursday. That makes Drummond a nice short-term add for a lot of fantasy managers, depending on when exactly Embiid returns.

⚪️ Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Grizzlies ⚪️

✅ Must Add: Very Deep Leagues
🌊 Stream/Soft Add: Deep/Standard Leagues
📊 Good in Points Leagues (0.9 FP/min)

✍️Memphis sat out a ridiculous amount of players yesterday against the Jazz, but were unfortunately out-tanked. Prosper played 30 minutes and ended with 23/5/1/2/1. He's seen more run in general across the past 5 games, averaging 17/5/1 with 1.0 STK (25.5 FP) in 25.6 minutes. However, that scoring is on 54 FG% and 44% on 5.0 attempts per game -- marks that he was previously nowhere near in his career. I think he's okay as a streamer for today, but I don't have a lot of faith beyond that.

Maybe the worst part of ATL holding on to Trae Young too long was drafting Risacher instead of Stephon Castle.
