Point Guard

Tre Jones, PG, Chicago Bulls (33.8% rostered in ESPN Leagues): Jones is a constant producer for as long as he begins in place of Josh Giddey, averaging out in the low-mid teenagers in scoring with seven-plus assists and a steal or two per recreation. Giddey is beginning to ramp up his exercise, but until he’s back Jones is value beginning or streaming in most leagues.

Ajay Mitchell, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder (45.8%): Mitchell is constant in his sixth man position. He scores in double figures every night time, averaging out around 15 factors with three-to-four rebounds and assists each with a 3-pointer and just over a steal per recreation. Production that is at least stream-worthy, if not flex-starter worthy in deeper leagues.

Shooting Guard

Grayson Allen, SG/PG, Phoenix Suns (43.4%): Allen has actually ramped up his scoring in 2026 since returning from the harm that stored him out the last couple weeks of 2025. The Suns get nearly all of their offense from their perimeter gamers, and Allen caught fire from behind the arc last week. Devin Booker is also dealing with an ankle difficulty, giving Allen more alternative as properly.

Jaylon Tyson, SG/SF, Cleveland Cavaliers (17.6%): Tyson was already taking part in properly before Darius Garland aggravated a toe harm, but with Garland out Tyson exploded for a career-high 39 factors on Friday night time. The sophomore has grown into a constant position that fluctuates between starter and sixth man, but he clearly has upside when given a bigger alternative.

Small Forward

Naji Marshall, SF/PF, Dallas Mavericks (30.1%): With both Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg sidelined, Marshall has stepped up as the main scoring option for the Mavericks with a string of 20-plus level performances. Marshall confirmed last season, when called upon late in the season, that as the foremost man he can persistently average 20/5/5 with a couple of steals and a 3-pointer per recreation. He’s a must add for as long as Davis and Flagg are out.

Brice Sensabaugh, SF, Utah Jazz (13.0%): Sensabaugh has been a stable but unspectacular producer in a sixth man position for most of the season, but he has proven bursts of explosive scoring potential of late with several 20-plus level performances sprinkled over the last few weeks. He is averaging 31.7 PPG in his last three outings, and all-told he has been averaging more than 17 factors and more than two 3-pointers a recreation since Christmas.

Power Forward

Jerami Grant, PF, Portland Trail Blazers (41.7%): Grant missed 14 video games with Achilles tendonitis before returning last week. He is ramping up slowly, taking part in restricted minutes and load managing, but when he performs Grant is a strolling 20-point scorer with more than two 3-pointers per recreation. Health allowing, he should return to that stage soon.

Noah Clowney, PF, Brooklyn Nets (9.6%): Clowney has picked it up a bit in the last couple weeks, notching around 15 factors, eight mixed rebounds and steals, more than two 3-pointers and about a steal and a block per recreation. This manufacturing is more impactful in class leagues than factors, but he’s worthy of streaming if not flex consideration in deeper leagues.

Center

Jay Huff, C, Indiana Pacers (14.2%): Huff has established a manufacturing profile very comparable to his predecessor as the beginning heart for the Pacers: Myles Turner. Huff is a scorer and shot blocker in the center, succesful of dropping 20 or more factors about once every few video games with couple of threes and two to three “stocks” (steals plus blocks) on a nightly foundation.

Mitchell Robinson, C, New York Knicks (5.6%): Robinson is one of the best rebounders in the NBA when he’s healthy. He is also a stable shot blocker, and when he gets minutes he can rating in the high single-digits nearly purely off putbacks and hanging around the rim. Robinson’s upside is capped since he usually comes off the bench behind Karl-Anthony Towns, but he’s getting about 25 minutes a night time and averaging double-digit boards and a couple of “stocks” since Christmas. Solid rebound/protection position participant, significantly in class leagues.
