Saddiq Bey scores 25 points with four steals off the bench for Pelicans

Bey's 25-point outing was hot shooting in normal minutes off the bench, a line to appreciate but not a signal for fantasy managers to act on yet.

Saddiq Bey scored 25 points with six rebounds, one assist, four steals and one three on 9-for-13 shooting and 6-for-7 from the line in 26 minutes off the bench on Saturday, October 31, as the Pelicans beat the Hawks 121-99.

The performance lifted his nine-category value and fantasy points well above his usual, but the 26 minutes and 13 shots were in line with his previous five games (24.2 minutes). Treat it as one efficient game off the bench until the role expands.

Saddiq Bey

Bey's 25 points, six rebounds and four steals came in 26 minutes, typical for him, while his 13 field-goal attempts matched what he normally gets. The 69.2 per cent shooting was the story, well above his 44.7 per cent mark over his previous five games. His season usage sits at 20.6 per cent with 60.6 per cent true shooting across six games.

The line boosts his season averages to 15.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 24.5 minutes a game, with projected fantasy points of 24.1 per game in default points scoring. The Pelicans have one game left this week, on Saturday. Bey remains a hold for standard leagues, a reserve who needs more minutes or a starting role to warrant add consideration.

What to do

• Hold Bey in standard leagues and wait for a role change before moving him up fantasy rosters.

• Do not stream Bey for Saturday's final game this week based on one hot shooting night.

• Monitor his minutes and shot attempts over the next few games to see if the production was noise or the start of something more.
