Hashtag Basketball projections update (Notebook drop)
Added 2023-11-13 12:25:10 +0000 UTCThings are starting to stabalize, so this notebook drop will just run through the teams that have seen significant enough changes to mention.
Brooklyn Nets:
The Cam Thomas injury opens minutes at SGs for Lonnie Walker IV and shot attempts for Mikal Bridges. Have also temporarily upped the usage for Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O'Neale.
Boston Celtics:
Have taken a shot attempt off Jrue Holiday, and added a rebound, but mostly unchanged.
Charlotte Hornets:
Gordon Hayward's getting a temporary increase in projections until we find out when Miles Bridges returns. Not buying into his 1.7 steals per game to start the season.
Cleveland Cavaliers:
Jarrett Allen will remain on a minutes restriction until further notice, so I've lowered his minutes to 28 per game and increased Caris LeVert's minutes while Isaac Okoro is still out injured.
Dallas Mavericks:
Tim Hardaway Jr gets another bump as he continues through his hot streak.
Golden State Warriors:
Lowering Klay Thompson's usage a touch as he has started the season slower than expected.
Houston Rockets:
The ball is going through Alperen Sengün's hands more, so I've upped his assists.
Miami Heat:
Jaime Jaquez Jr is getting more playing time, have upped his minutes and will monitor how long it continues.
Philadelphia 76ers:
Kelly Oubre Jr will likely be out for a few months, and it looks like it'll be a joint approach between Nicolas Batum and Robert Covington to help contribute. Neither are really roster-worthy, but you can stream them on low-game days.
Portland Trailblazers:
Skylar Mays is getting a short-term spike in projections as the starting point guard. Just don't expect this kind of production when Scoot returns.
Washington Wizards:
Have lowered Jordan Poole's minutes down to 30.
Chat soon,
