Trevon Brazile started and posted 11 points, 8 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 three on 5-of-9 shooting in 32 minutes in Denver's 104-91 win over New Orleans on Wednesday, October 28.

The starting assignment is a major development for Brazile, who had come off the bench in all three of his previous outings at 21.1 minutes a night. The extra 11 minutes on the floor lift his fantasy value across nine-category and points leagues, particularly for managers chasing rebounds and blocks in deeper formats.

Trevon Brazile

Over his previous 3 games, Brazile averaged 9.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 0.0 assists, 0.3 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.3 threes in 21.1 minutes off the bench. His 17.7 per cent usage rate at 61.1 per cent true shooting suggests he can provide efficient scoring when given the opportunity, and the 32-minute workload is a substantial increase from his earlier reserve role.

The Nuggets have 1 game left this week, on Wednesday. Brazile is worth adding in 12-team leagues and deeper, as a starting forward playing 32 minutes offers useful rebounds and blocks with the chance for more counting stats. In points leagues, his projected 14.2 fantasy points per game should rise if the starter's minutes hold, making him a viable streaming option in formats that value boards and defensive stats.

What to do

• Add Trevon Brazile in 12-team leagues and deeper, as his starting role and 32-minute workload make him valuable for rebounds and blocks.

• Start Brazile in his remaining game this week if you need help in rebounding or defensive categories.

• Monitor his status for next week, as the Nuggets have no games scheduled after this week's final contest.
