Detroit: Week 11 of fantasy basketball is here, and it’s getting interesting. With Jaden Ivey out due to a fractured fibula, two players are stepping up: Ausar Thompson and Malik Beasley. The choice between them really depends on what your team needs.
Thompson has been the go-to guy since Ivey got hurt. He’s averaging 10.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in about 22 minutes per game. If you need help with rebounds and steals, he’s a solid pick. On the flip side, Beasley is more about scoring. He had a rough game recently, but before that, he was on fire, averaging over 21 points in six games.
So, if your team needs some scoring, Beasley might be your guy. But if you’re looking for those extra rebounds and steals, Thompson could be the better fit. It’s all about what your roster needs right now.
Other players to consider this week include De’Andre Hunter, who’s been putting up solid numbers for the Hawks, and Alexandre Sarr, who’s finally finding his groove with the Wizards. There are plenty of options out there, so make sure to check your roster and see who fits best.
