Richards isn’t the only member of the Hornets who has seen his role increase down the stretch. With LaMelo Ball out for the season, Smith is one of the top players on the Hornets’ second unit.
Since Ball went down, Smith has averaged 10.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.5 steals over eight games. Given their favorable schedule for the next two weeks, Smith is another member of the Hornets to consider adding now.The Grizzlies are trying to hold onto one of the top spots in the Western Conference despite missing a few key players — although they should get. Up front, they will operate without Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke for the rest of the regular season.
Tillman has made the most of his opportunity to start, putting up 11.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals over those nine games while shooting 59.2 percent from the field. The Grizzlies play four games in each of the final three weeks of the regular season, making Tillman an ideal center to add for fantasy managers who need help at the position.Aldama was selected with the 30th pick in the 2021 Draft.
While Aldama doesn’t usually provide much in the way of assists or steals, he has averaged 11.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers over the last four games. He also shot 53.1 percent from the field and 87.5 percent from the free-throw line during that stretch. With a minimum of 20 to 25 minutes likely coming his way on a nightly basis, he is another member of the Grizzlies to consider adding.The Jazz have been rolling with limited depth at guard since trading away Mike Conley Jr.
In turn, Dunn has taken on a significant role. Over nine games since joining the team, he has averaged 11.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals while shooting 53.1 percent from the field. The Jazz close out the season with four games in each of the final three weeks, making Dunn a prime option on waivers for those who need a guard.Yet another injury to Kevin Durant puts the Suns in a tricky situation.
Ross is the only player they have coming off the bench that can score in bunches. Over four games since Durant went down, he has averaged 11.3 points and 2.8 three-pointers. It has been a mixed bag, with him scoring at least 18 points in a game twice, and three or fewer points twice. The Suns have three games in Week 23, then four games each in the final two weeks of the regular season.
