Here are 8 players who have trended downwards over the past week.
Dennis Schroder
Last 7 days rank: 187 | Season rank: 148
With the news that Russell Westbrook is replacing Schroder in the Kings’ starting lineup, his long-term outlook isn’t looking good. Don’t be fooled by his last performance, as he’s struggled this year and will have a much harder time trying to replicate that line as a reserve.
Nikola Vucevic
Last 7 days rank: 117 | Season rank: 63
Vucevic is going through a cold streak after a hot start to the season. Usually a double-double threat, he’s yet to post one in November. The big man’s dreadful shooting percentages and failure to record a block in the last four games have also contributed to his fall.
Ja Morant
Last 7 days rank: 200 | Season rank: 100
Morant will miss some time due to injury, but the deteriorating relationship between him and the Grizzlies has had the most significant impact on his poor performance. His shots haven't been falling, and he hasn't taken care of the ball. Frustration and a lack of motivation can take most of the blame.
RJ Barrett
Last 7 days rank: 251 | Season rank: 112
Barrett started the season strong and made tremendous improvements to one of his biggest weaknesses. However, his field goal percentage has plummeted over the past two games. The forward’s points and threes have suffered as a result, and he also hasn’t been providing much on the other end.
Jaren Jackson Jr
Last 7 days rank: 147 | Season rank: 88
Even with Morant’s lack of effort, Jackson Jr. hasn’t been able to step up much. His poor shooting has hurt him, and the big man’s blocks also took a dip. He’s even gone multiple games without swatting a shot. Foul trouble has made things worse by limiting his playing time.
VJ Edgecombe
Last 7 days rank: 168 | Season rank: 117
Edgecombe had a scoring start to the season and was quickly picked up. Despite still receiving high playing time, his production has declined as he’s struggled to convert shots. The third-overall pick’s numbers in the offensive categories have suffered the most. Over the past two weeks, his FG% has dropped below 35%.
OG Anunoby
Last 7 days rank: 207 | Season rank: 52
Managers know Anunoby is well-rounded, but over the past week, his impact has declined on both ends of the floor. As a result, his numbers haven’t stood out much in any area. Anunoby also left the last game early after suffering a hamstring strain, further decreasing his value.
Jaylen Brown
Last 7 days rank: 94 | Season rank: 62
Considering Brown is supposed to be Boston’s leader with Jayson Tatum out for the season, his output has been disappointing. His best category is points, but his scoring average has dropped to the low 20s as of late. The 29-year-old’s numbers elsewhere haven’t exactly jumped off the page either.
