Anthony Black posts 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists vs Warriors

Fantasy basketball: Black's 38-minute night delivered 4 steals and 3 blocks alongside the scoring and playmaking, and Orlando has one game left this week.

Anthony Black posted 18 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks, 2 threes and 2 turnovers on 7-of-19 shooting and 2-of-3 from the line in 38 minutes as a starter on Saturday, November 7, when Orlando fell to Golden State 126-119.

The line was worth 55.6 fantasy points, well above the 30.9 a game he managed over his previous 5 games, and the defensive tallies make him useful in nine-category formats while the volume lifts his appeal in points leagues. He has played 38 minutes in back-to-back outings after averaging 28.5 over his previous 5, and the 22.3 per cent usage rate at 65.4 per cent true shooting gives him room to produce when the minutes are there.

Player by player

Anthony Black

Black now averages 15.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.8 blocks over 6 games this season, starting 5 of them. The defensive counting stats have been inconsistent, but when they arrive they turn a solid all-around floor into a difference-maker. The 7-of-19 shooting was inefficient, though his 65.4 per cent true shooting on the season suggests he can sustain better percentages with this kind of volume.

Orlando has one game left this week, on Saturday, giving managers a chance to ride the extended run if the minutes hold. With 26 projected fantasy points a game in default points scoring and a nine-category value that sits outside the top 100, Black is a streaming option when the workload is elevated and a hold in deeper formats. Managers in need of defensive stats and assists should consider adding him while the playing time remains this high.

What to do

• Start Anthony Black on Saturday if the elevated minutes continue and you need defensive stats or assists.

• Stream Black in 12-team leagues and deeper while he is playing 35-plus minutes a night.

• Monitor his workload closely, as the fantasy value depends on maintaining this level of court time.
