The Wire Troll: Gerald Green Heating Up in Houston

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Powell is playing big minutes off the bench in the last couple of games, and has been producing, scoring at least a dozen points in four of the last five games. His touches are up lately and his shooting accuracy has gotten better every season. Powell seems to be establishing himself as a key component in the Dallas rebuilding program — especially given the lack of effective options around him. Jump on this train now, especially in dynasty formats.

2016-17 Fantasy Basketball Sleepers and Busts

Despite Rose being at the top of the depth chart, Jennings — who looks healthy this preseason — is still projected to have an increase in overall production compared to his last two seasons, although it would be nice to see some consistency (he was 0-for-6 on Wednesday after a solid effort on the weekend).

The Wire Troll: J.J. Barea Torches It up in Dallas

/ Adrian Wallace, Basketball, The Wire Troll

Barea is 31 now, people, but you wouldn’t know that looking at his recent stats (no offense to the vets still going strong at the 30 year mark). He made his way into the starting lineup and has been torching since — especially beyond the arc (five treys on Wednesday). It’s hard to find a solid point guard who’s also a three-point shooting gem that’s available on the wire this deep into the season, so Barea needs to be picked up now without a doubt.

The Wire Troll: John Henson Returns With a Vengeance

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

This season, McDermott may see time at both the three and four and he earned his first career start on Thursday. We’re starting to see his offensive skills, with back-to-back double digit scoring games earlier this week (including a five-trey show on Tuesday) and he’s being rewarded with more PT (26.5 MPG over the last two). The fact that Bulls won the game that McBuckets started bodes well for more. Grab him now.

The Wire Troll: CJ McCollum Flashing His Potential

/ Basketball, McCade Pearson, The Wire Troll

He’s been massively inconsistent and the free agent to be could be nearing the end of his Lakers’ career. However, Johnson’s recent play may give LA pause to think about bringing him back next season. He’s been logging a big load lately, and while his shooting leaves something to be desired, Johnson has reached double digit points in four of the last five (including a team-high 16 on Sunday), while canning plenty of treys and pitching in with more boards than usual (although, overall, his rebounding is down slightly after averaging a career-best 4.4 last season).

The Wire Troll: Jae Crowder Elevating his Game

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Keep a close eye on Irving’s MRI results, because Dellavedova — who also double-doubled on Friday with five assists and two treys — could become a nice short-term option. Dellavedova scored seven points in the first quarter, but managed just seven for the rest of the game. Still, there was a reason this youngster was picked for the Rising Stars Challenge at the All-Star Game earlier this month.
