Cameron Boozer recorded 18 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists on 6-10 shooting and 2-2 at the line with four threes and two turnovers in 28 minutes as a starter in Memphis's 124-103 victory over Portland on Thursday, October 29. The triple-double represents his first of the season and came in a blowout win at home.

The line stands well above his previous four games (14.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.8 threes in 33.1 minutes), particularly in assists, but the 28 minutes and six field-goal attempts suggest his role did not change. He is averaging 15.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 6.2 assists through five games, which supports a top-40 rank and projected 38.2 fantasy points per game. The 24.3 per cent usage rate and 42.5 per cent true shooting offer solid playmaking value alongside his rebounding.

The 18 points came on just 10 field-goal attempts, matching his efficiency at the line (2-2) and from three (4-4 on a small sample). Over his previous four games he shot 27.9 per cent from the floor and 94.7 per cent at the stripe with 1.8 threes, which makes Thursday's 6-10 performance a welcome change. The 12 assists are more than double his previous average of 4.8 and lift his season mark to 6.2 per game, but the 28 minutes and shooting volume suggest the role itself has not expanded.

Memphis has no games left this week and zero next week, which limits his immediate utility. The triple-double offers encouraging evidence of his passing ability, but the 42.5 per cent true shooting and 24.3 per cent usage rate remain modest for a top-40 player. His combination of rebounds and assists carries value in both nine-category leagues and points formats, and the four threes add a useful dimension. Hold him as a mid-round contributor who can fill the stat sheet without dominating the ball.

What to do

• Hold Boozer as a top-40 player whose passing and rebounding support both nine-category and points leagues.

• Do not chase the triple-double, as the minutes and shot attempts matched his usual role.

• Monitor his usage and true shooting over the next week, when Memphis returns to action.
