He went on a scoring binge last week, has been seeing extra PT of late, and even when the touches aren’t there, he’s contributing in other ways (four assists, three steals and two blocks on Thursday, when he moved back into the starting lineup). As for Beverley’s touches, they’ve been rising all season long, so that trend — combined with playing his most minutes since 2018-19 — makes him worthy of Fantasy consideration, especially in deeper formats.

Sure enough, Powell played a season-high 33 minutes on Friday, and while the production wasn’t eye-popping, he still flirted with a double-double while recording a pair of steals. His PT has been rising all season, so we’re curious to see what he’ll do when consistently getting 30+ minutes per game. Powell is still mostly a full-time starter, but not necessarily used to the same load he was before his Achilles’ injury a few years ago. Consider him a deep league option with some possible upside in standard formats.
