Fantasy Basketball Pickups: Shaedon Sharpe among young Blazers worth adding

[ad_1]

There were only four games on Tuesday, which provided us with limited streaming options. There may be a few extra names on this list that are best for deep, deep leagues, while other names will be great in every league. Nobody likes injuries, but if we try to look at the bright side of situations, streaming options tend to open up because of them. That isn’t always the case, as we saw Anthony Davis exit early with an abdominal strain. Dorian Finney-Smith started the second half in his place, but DFS, Jaxson Hayes and Christian Koloko aren’t players to consider streaming, even if they’ll see more minutes.

There was an injury on Tuesday that will likely open up minutes and shots. Jerami Grant (ankle) exited early from their win over the Bucks, which opened the door for Shaedon Sharpe (47% rostered in Yahoo leagues). Sharpe played 31 minutes after playing just 19 minutes the game before and finished with 17 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals and three 3-pointers. Sharpe has come off the bench over their last six games, but he had a strong stretch as a starter in late December and early January. He could return to the starting lineup if Grant remains sidelined, and they have two more games this week. Looking at the broader landscape of things, Sharpe is a good option to pick up with the trade deadline approaching. If Grant doesn’t miss more time because of this injury, there is a chance that he is moved next Thursday. If not, Portland hasn’t been shy about shutting down their veterans in recent years. Sharpe should be a great option during silly season, and it isn’t a bad idea to get out ahead of things.

PG Scoot Henderson (43%), Portland Trail Blazers

Henderson had an excellent run about two weeks ago, and then he had a few quiet games that likely scared managers. However, after scoring 25 points with five 3-pointers on Sunday, Scoot had a really efficient performance against the Bucks. They’ll unleash him at some point, though we’re hoping it’ll be sooner rather than later.

SF/PF Toumani Camara (36%), Portland Trail Blazers

Camara ranks just outside the top-100 over the course of the…
