In the past week, Clarke has had two games of 26 MP each, and his FP/min is at a high of 1.12 since Nov. Pro-rated to a per-36 average, that'd yield a sound 17-5-4 with 1.5 blocks. In the six games he's played through the last two weeks of play, Clarke has averaged just 19 MPG but he's put up a daily 9-3-2 line with 0.8+ BPG on top of that. Clarke could take huge advantage and be the main beneficiary of a potential injury down the road, but even if that never happens he's doing more than enough to get more playing time as the season grows older. But JJJ has not missed a beat this season-yet. Jaren Jackson Jr., on the other hand, surely is. Morant is not what you'd define as an injury-prone player, but alas. So what about other ancillary pieces such as Clarke? Now, obviously, that doesn't directly impact Brandon Clarke but the two next-men-up in Tyus Jones and De'Anthony Melton are so super-rostered already that it didn't make much sense to talk about them as WW targets in mega-deep formats (chase both of them, though, and consider yourself lucky if you land any of the two!). If you didn't, here is the thing: Ja Morant got injured and will miss a bunch of weeks.
