DAN TITUS: What's up, y'all? Welcome back to "The Playlist." It's week 21. Fantasy playoffs are here. Let's get to the pickups.
Payton Pritchard. He's under 10% rostered. And I think he's gonna be in for a big week because of the Boston Celtics schedule. They play a lot of inferior talent, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Boston Celtics continue to rest some of their starters. That would mean more opportunity for Payton Pritchard, a guy that's coming off a double double on Sunday night. Add him.
TJ McConnell. The Pacers play four games against really nice opponents this week. And he's quietly been a top 90 player over the last couple of weeks. He always seems to be fantasy relevant around these playoffs, so make sure you add him.
If you miss out on Duncan Robinson or Jaime Jaquez, I would look to add Caleb Martin. Caleb Martin's been stuffing the stat sheet in the absence of Tyler Herro as well as Jimmy Butler. And doesn't look like Tyler Herro's gonna be returning for the fantasy playoffs. So Caleb Martin has a good spot to contribute in fantasy going forward.
And lastly, for deep, deep leagues, I will go Naji Marshall. He's under 3% rostered. And with Herb Jones dealing with a back injury, then there's a very good chance that we should see Naji Marshall play on three critical days-- Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. So he's definitely gonna get into your lineup. So take a look at him if you're looking for an added boost in some statistical categories like steals, points, and 3's.
All right. Good luck to you. Hope you make it to the next round or take home that title. Peace.
