NBA Market Share Report: Is Dwight Howard Back?

Thaddeus Young Keeps Hustling

If you’re into riding waves, look no further than Thaddeus Young. Even with the lopsidedness caused by a 53.5 FanDuel-point outing Wednesday night, the Indiana Pacers forward is having himself a pretty nice week, averaging 39 FanDuel points at an average salary of just $6,366.

Wednesday night’s outing was made possible by Young’s 10 rebounds, 7 steals, and 3 blocks, which is the kind of hustle stuff that has made him a consistent value over the last month or so. He’s missed at least four-times value only three times over the last month, while hitting at least five-times value in seven games, all while maintaining an average salary under $6,100.

So long as Young’s availability continues to float at an affordable number, he’ll remain well worth the roster move. He’s getting solid minutes (33.5 over his last 15), shooting well (48 percent from the field), and contributing in significant categories.

Young and the Pacers take on the Pistons tonight, followed by the Nets, Celtics, and Hawks next week.
