Necas has been quieter in the two games since that streak, but continues to get shots on net. Still, as long as Teravainen remains out (and you never know how long that will be with a concussion), Necas is a fine waiver wire add, and long-term makes for an interesting trade target.

Amazingly, he’s the first player in NBA history to hit the 50-point mark without getting to the charity stripe once. Murray’s touches are up this month, but he’s not supplying quite as many dimes as he has over the last couple of seasons.
The Wire Troll: Tristan Thompson Working the Boards for Boston Read Post »
Well, Covid put a quick end to his hot play, but this season he’s picked up right where he left off, recording four points in the last two games and nearly a point per game overall while proving a nice source of hits. Brown’s also racking up more PM this season, and while he’s playing on the top line and garnering plenty of PP time, he needs to be owned.

Toscano-Anderson is seeing heavy minutes, and he’s producing, making him a great pickup in deep leagues and a nice play in DFS after scoring at least 14 points in back-to-back games, adding eight boards, five assists and two blocks on Thursday. Ride this productivity while you can.

He’s slowed since then (although did pick up his first assist on Thursday), so obviously we need to adjust our expectations a bit, but it’s clear he’s poised to break out. Is Comtois the answer to Anaheim’s scoring woes? Well, we’d like to see him get a bit more PT, as his ice time is down for the second straight season, but if the opportunity comes to him, he’s got major potential.
The Wire Troll: Jason Dickinson Stepping Up in Dallas Read Post »
Another player that has yet to really work his way onto the Fantasy radar, Trent’s offensive contributions have been inconsistent recently, but in scoring 18 points last Saturday, he showed what he’s capable of. Even though he’s been used exclusively off the bench so far this season, he’s been doing a better job of getting to the line. Trent has a golden opportunity to step up as Portland’s third scoring option if he can just bring it on a more regular basis.

That lead has since slipped away after he was shut out on Friday (despite an increase in PT), but it’s clear the weight he added this offseason is going to help him. It’s not unreasonable to think Farabee could put up 30 or more points as the second-line left winger this season.
