Oso Ighodaro posts 9 PTS, 7 REB, 7 AST and 3 BLK for Phoenix

Fantasy basketball: Ighodaro filled the stat sheet Wednesday but played his usual 23 minutes off the bench, making this a normal night rather than a role…

Oso Ighodaro recorded 9 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks on 4-of-6 shooting with one turnover in 23 minutes off the bench Wednesday as Phoenix fell to Portland 132-119. He added just 1-of-3 at the free-throw line.

The line looks appealing across nine categories, particularly the three blocks and seven dimes, but Ighodaro played his usual minutes and drew his usual workload. In fantasy points formats he scored 35.9 points, well above his projected 17.1 per game, though the role itself has not changed. Season to date over four games, this one included, he is averaging 8.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 20.7 minutes a game.

Ighodaro's playmaking has jumped from 2.3 assists per game last season over 82 games to 4.3 this season, though his minutes have dipped slightly from 22.1 to 20.7. He shot an efficient 67.6 per cent true shooting on Wednesday with a usage rate of 17.6 per cent. The blocks are a bonus, but his season average of 1.0 per game remains modest and his steal total sits at zero over four contests.

Phoenix has no games left this week and none scheduled next week, so Ighodaro will not appear again soon. His projected 17.1 fantasy points per game and minus-4.9 nine-category value place him outside most standard league rosters. Treat Wednesday's output as one strong game rather than evidence of an expanded role, and wait for a minutes increase before adding him.

What to do

• Hold Ighodaro in deep leagues but do not add him in standard formats until his minutes rise.

• Do not start Ighodaro this week, as Phoenix has no games remaining.

• Monitor his role over the coming weeks for any sign of a consistent uptick in playing time.
