🎧 Who’s in My Rotation: 9-cat and points leagues

Anthony Black – PG/SG, Orlando Magic (22% rostered)

Let’s keep it simple: Black should be rostered everywhere. While I prefer him in standard points leagues, Black has been a near top-100 player in 9-cat formats over the past week. Despite his struggles with turnovers and making free throws, he averaged 23.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 stocks per game while shooting 53% from the floor. In a four-game week starting Monday versus the Bulls with no Paolo Banchero, keep streaming Black.

Jaylon Tyson – SF, Cleveland Cavaliers (14% rostered)

Tyson is proving to be an effective two-way player and a near top-100 asset in his second season with the Cavs. In 11 starts this season, Tyson has posted a solid line of 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks and 2.6 3-pointers per game while shooting 54.8% from the field. He’s playing 20–30 minutes regularly and giving you multi-category production with limited turnovers. I like him more for 9-cat formats in a four-game week, but he’s a reasonable option for points leagues, too.
