🎧 Who’s in my rotation: High score
Kel’el Ware – FC, Miami Heat (67% on roster)
Since entering the starting lineup three games ago, Ware has been a force, recording three consecutive double-doubles. In those games, he averaged 47.6 fantasy points while posting 24.7 points, 15.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. Although Erik Spoelstra continues to publicly criticize his defensive failures, the production is undeniable. Ware is shooting a ridiculous 71% from the field and 12 of 16 from 3 in that span, so he’s literally on fire. Whether the role will stick long-term is yet to be determined, but at High Score, the counting stats and actions are too good to be left on waivers.
John Collins – FC, Los Angeles Clippers (77% registered)
Managers became frustrated with Collins’ inconsistency, but their situation changes with Ivica Zubac out for at least a few weeks with an ankle injury. Collins responded on Sunday with 17 points, 12 rebounds, 4 actions and a season-high 43 fantasy points. He’s been a shadow of himself compared to last season, but Collins will see a significant increase in touches and rebounding opportunities, putting him back in must-start territory over the next few weeks.

Santi Aldama – FC, Memphis Grizzlies (44% registered)
Memphis is exhausted and Aldama is taking on a huge role. He exploded for a season-high 57 fantasy points on Saturday against Washington, scoring 37 points, 10 rebounds and 2 actions while attempting 23 shots. That volume of shots is the story: The Grizzlies are desperate to attack, and with Brandon Clarke now sidelined with a calf injury and Ja Morant already ruled out before Monday, Aldama looks good in a week in which the Grizzlies play four games.

Isaiah Collier – G, Utah Jazz (20% on roster)
Collier is doing what I thought he would do in the preseason: racking up crazy assists. The backup point guard recorded three consecutive games with 38+ fantasy points, averaging 10 assists per game during that stretch. For managers who need playmaking and multi-category coverage, Collier is a streaming option in Week 10 with the Jazz playing a back-to-back Monday/Tuesday, plus a back-to-back Friday/Saturday as well.
Donte DiVincenzo – G, Minnesota Timberwolves (45% on roster)
DiVincenzo has racked up more than 50 high-scoring points in each of the last two weeks, intensifying Anthony Edwards’ absence. Even with Edwards back, Jaden McDaniels’ hip injury creates another window of opportunity for DiVincenzo to absorb more usage and shot attempts.

His combination of scoring and rebounding at guard, action and underrated passing offers a 31-point fantasy floor with a 40-50 point ceiling, as he has demonstrated over the past two weeks. The Wolves are one of the teams playing in the five-game slate on Christmas, so if you’re looking for a streaming option there, DiVincenzo is in play.
