Hello, everybody and welcome to Fantasy NBA today, Sports Ethos show brought to you by our great partners at Fan.

Well, today I'm flying solo, and on this show, I'm going to cover ads, players in the drop zone, top streamers, and let's get started with potential ads.

After last night's game, let's kick it off with none other than T.J. McConnell. Now, Andrew Nemhardt missed the game.

Quentin Jackson started. He didn't do anything too big. 18 minutes, four points, five assists, one steal, one block. But the one steel and one block did catch my eye. But T.J. McConnell did get the bulk of the minutes. And I'm not sure if this was related to Rick Carlisle getting his thousandth win. They hadn't won since they played the Sacramento Kings in God knows when. And maybe he said, okay, TJ, go get me that win. He had 28 minutes, 23 points for boards, 8 assists, 4 steals, 1, 3. It's the T.J. McConnell line we've been waiting for. Is he a must-add player? Deep breath, I guess, no.

I hate to say it.

I really hate to say it. T.J. McConnell is one of my favorite fantasy players of the last five years.

Get you that top 100 or maybe even top 75 value.

We've been craving for this season in less minutes than what he had here last night.

But the injury risk and the tanking risk and the fact that this is the first time we've seen him reach up to the stars and get one of these,

I don't know if we can call him a must-ad player.

He's a speculative ad for sure.

If you need a guard, slide the needle a little bit more toward must-add.

We'll see what happens next.

But his teammate, Johnny Furphy, also

joined some sort of fantasy relevance here. He had seven points, six boards, two assists,

one, steal one, block, one three. I know they like themselves from Johnny Furphy and Indy.

You know, Doc's on the ground there. He's always talking about the fans love Johnny Furphy.

He'd throw down a dunk with the best of them. Maybe a silly season hero, Johnny Furphy. But I don't think in a deep league we want to take that bait just yet. So we'll just watch that one. And Sam Merrill, 22 points, two boards, three assists, one, steal five threes. That makes, what, 11 three-pointers in the last

two games, 31 minutes in this one. Dean Wade injured, Sam Merrill, maybe starting to get healthy.

He's a mid-round guy when he's cooking right now, and Sam Merrill, I think, is somebody who's

so close to being a must-ad. He has his own injury risk. It's a very small sample size since

getting back on the right side of the ledger. So we're probably one more Sam Merrill game. And it's not
