"The NBA season is moving fast, and we are moving right along with it to keep you up to date on the players that are playing themselves onto the fantasy radar. Young players, in particular, find that switch and all of a sudden go from rotation guy to impact performer at any given moment. Let's delve deeper to identify a group of lightly-rostered players that deserve more attention and can help your fantasy squads."
"Ajay Mitchell, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder (49.1% rostered in ESPN leagues): Mitchell continues to quietly produce for the Thunder as they deal with injuries on the perimeter. Jalen Williams is still out, and last week Aaron Wiggins joined him on the sidelines. This has left consistent space for Mitchell to produce. He's a nightly upper-teens scorer, contributes about seven combined rebounds and assists, and is a plus in both steals and 3-pointers while he holds onto this role."
Young, lightly-rostered NBA players are emerging as valuable fantasy assets when injuries or role changes create opportunities. Ajay Mitchell has capitalized on perimeter injuries for Oklahoma City, averaging upper-teens scoring, roughly seven combined rebounds and assists, plus contributions in steals and 3-pointers while Jalen Williams and Aaron Wiggins remain sidelined. Ayo Dosunmu for the Chicago Bulls provides consistent upper-teens scoring, efficient shooting, a few 3-pointers, boards and assists while Coby White is out, despite a recent quad-related absence. These role-driven opportunities can quickly elevate rotation players into meaningful fantasy producers.
