Jae Crowder (SF, PF) Miami Heat, on 42% of rosters

Daniel Theis (PF, C) Boston Celtics, on 46% of rosters
Theis' minutes have been hovering around the 27-30 mark for the better part of a month as Boston hone in on their playoff rotation. If you're looking for a big man to anchor to the end of your roster and need a boost in rebounds and shooting percentages, then Theis is your guy.

Coby White (PG) Chicago Bulls, on 32% of rosters
Coby is the definition of a rollercoaster fantasy player. When his shot is falling then he's somebody to add to your roster, and his shot is currently falling. Ride the hot hand.

Another guy who is riding the hot hand, but unlike Coby, Monk has been doing it for over a month. He doesn't provide much outside of points and 3-pointers made.

Towns is being re-evaluated in 2 weeks, which means it's Naz's time to shine, and he's the perfect big man for Minnesota to pump minutes into since he's all offence, and no defense.

With JJJ injured for 2+ weeks, it opens big man minutes for both Clarke and Dieng. If you're desperate for big man stats, and nobody else is available on the waiver wire, then Dieng is somebody to look at.

James Johnson (SF, PF) Minnesota Timberwolves, on 13% of rosters
James has been a walking 1-1-1 since joining the Timberwolves, and Towns being out only helps his situation. Add him if you need defensive numbers.

Gorgui Dieng (PF, C) Memphis Grizzlies, on 12% of rosters
With JJJ injured for 2+ weeks, it opens big man minutes for both Clarke and Dieng. If you're desperate for big man stats, and nobody else is available on the waiver wire, then Dieng is somebody to look at.
