Malcolm Brogdon
He started last season on a tear without Oladipo, has started this season on a tear, and now Oladipo is gone. If you've followed that train of thought, then you'll agree that top-35 value is sustainable for the rest of the season

Joe Ingles
His fantasy output has started to regress, but the assists and 3-pointers should still be there

Brook Lopez
Brook has found a way to extend his career as a 3-point sniper who's capable of hitting 2+ threes and getting 2+ blocks a game

John Wall
Houston is no longer in win-now mode, and it's hard to see anybody willing to trade for Wall's contract, so he might be on the Rockets roster for a while. Expect good-stats-on-bad-team levels of output, thrown in with a lot of DNP/rest

Has the potential to be a top-100 staple as he continues to develop his game, mostly because of his defensive numbers

Kelly Oubre Jr.
Things can only get better for Oubre, but he needs to get better at adapting to Golden State's way of playing basketball (and actually learn how to pass the ball) or he won't be a top-100 fantasy player this season
