Here are my picks for this week (category leagues)!  
  
*My top pick for 10-team leagues* 

**Tari Eason (HOU - SF/PF): (Rostered: 32% ESPN, 30% Yahoo)** 

* **Weekly Schedule:** IND, BKN, DAL
* **Recent Trends:** Eason has returned from his early-season injury and, in four games so far, has averaged 11.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 steals, and 1.0 block on 51% shooting from the floor, providing 10th-round value. His value primarily comes from his defensive stats, and it looks like he will be getting a solid 20–25 minutes per game, with higher upside if he’s pushed into the starting lineup when other starters are injured.

*My top pick for 12-team leagues*

**Brook Lopez (LAC - C): (Rostered: 18% ESPN, 22% Yahoo)** 

* **Weekly Schedule:** SAC, UTA, BOS
* **Recent Trends:** Lopez has seen starter minutes in his last three games since Ivica Zubac injured his ankle and now looks to be a must-roster player. He has averaged 15.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks over that span. Pick him up if you need blocks and threes.

*My top pick for 14-team leagues*

**Dylan Cardwell (SAC - C): (Rostered: 2% ESPN, 6% Yahoo)** 

* **Weekly Schedule:** LAC, BOS, PHO, MIL
* **Recent Trends:** With the Kings in last place in the West, they have started giving Cardwell regular minutes to split time with Maxime Raynaud. Over those five games, Cardwell is averaging 6.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks on 59% shooting from the floor. He is a great pickup for blocks and efficiency.
