The NBA will field a 10-game schedule on Dec. 28 providing opportunity for fantasy players to stack their numbers on much needed positions. If you're current position player is on the bench nursing an injury, the following players could offer the needed numbers.
JaVale McGee (C) - Golden State Warriors
No, this is not a high draft pick for potential Shaqtin' moment - JaVale McGee could be a sleeper choice in center as the Warriors face Toronto Raptors. The game is going to be a battle in the back court but McGee could do well with the lobbed passes from some of the best guards in the NBA who could easily create space for their big men inside.
According to his Yahoo Sports stats, the only concern fantasy players should note on McGee is his playing minutes. He is only averaging 8.7MPG for the Warriors but the number could increase if he creates enough space inside.
C.J. Miles (GF) - Indiana Pacers
Guards Ellis and Stuckey are on the sidelines when Indiana face the guard heavy Washington Wizards. C.J. Miles could see an increase in minutes and he'll have to assume a bigger role not only in guarding Wall and Co. since he also needs to support Paul George and Jeff Teague.
The only challenge for Miles is his speed since Wizards would really on offensive attacks from the backcourt. If he could keep up with Washington guards, he's in for a big night.
Matthew Dellavedova (G) - Milwaukee Bucks
The Australian point guard is getting more playing time to support his new team with the nearly the same numbers with the bucks. According to his ESPN profile Dellavedova is currently averaging 7.7PPG with 37.3FGP. But his last game against Detroit was promising: 10 points with 57.1FGP and his numbers could go higher since all eyes are going to be the team's superstars.
