3 players who are on a roll in Fantasy Basketball
Aside from the fantasy superstars of this season like Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who deliver huge performances in fantasy basketball night in and night out, there are plenty of players who are also providing huge nights for your lineups. Here are a few who have been hot over the last few weeks.

Deandre Ayton - Center, Phoenix Suns
Ayton has averaged 32.5 fantasy points per night over the last two weeks and has been getting it done on the glass, averaging 12.6 rebounds per game in that stretch to go with 20.5 points. Ayton’s performance over the last few weeks has helped the Suns to maintain a 16-9 record, mostly without the help of Chris Paul, who is sidelined with an injury.
Ayton has had a nice bounce back to his season after starting slow amid drama surrounding his return to Phoenix this offseason, now averaging 17 points and 9.7 rebounds a game for the season. Suns fans and Ayton fantasy owners hope he can continue his recent performance moving forward.

Zion Williamson - Forward, New Orleans Pelicans
As a fan of the NBA, it is so good to see Zion back to playing basketball and dominating, which is exactly what he has done in fantasy basketball over the last two weeks.
Williamson has averaged 30.6 points per game in that two weeks, which equates to 23.7 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 4.9 assists. He has also seen an uptick in the number of fouls called on him recently, which may show that he’s being more aggressive and going toward the rim, which he is so good at doing.
It is really great to see as an NBA fan or a Zion fan, but specifically, Pelicans fans and Zion fantasy owners should love what they’ve seen out of him so far this season as a whole but also over the last two weeks.

Pascal Siakam - Forward, Toronto Raptors
Since returning from injury last Monday, Siakam has picked up right where he left off before the injury. Siakam is averaging 27.6 fantasy points in the five games since returning to the lineup. Good for 24 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and a steal a game over that stretch.
Siakam has been tearing it up for your fantasy lineup, and there is no end in sight. Siakam is a fantasy basketball star if he can stay healthy, and he is such an important part of the Raptors team and their prospects going forward for the rest of this season and beyond.
