Fantasy Wrap: Friday, April 3

The Headlines

Pascal Siakam just put the league on notice. 45.4 Yahoo points isn't a fluke when you're dropping 30+ with boards and playmaking all over the court. Charlotte's depth is actually legit this season, and the Pacers got exposed defensively. This wasn't just Siakam carrying a corpse. The entire Hornets squad showed up ready to work.

Top Performers

Pascal Siakam (CHA) - 45.4 Yahoo FP. The stat line that started it all. Multi-category monster.
Need full box scores from tonight's other games to properly rank, but Siakam's running away with this one based on what we've got.

The Disappointments

Indiana got completely cooked. Without seeing the full Pacers box, it's safe to say anyone rostering Indy's backcourt or supporting cast had a rough night. 21-point home loss? That's a "check your lineup" moment. The Pacers' defensive schemes couldn't contain Charlotte's pace and spacing.

Waiver Priority

Role players from Charlotte's bench - Depth won the game, and if any Hornets reserves posted decent minutes, they're worth a speculative add. Siakam's going to get attention, but role players who were efficient are diamonds.
Anyone the Pacers cycled in - When a team loses by 21, garbage time rotations get weird. Might be nothing, might be an opportunity if someone got unexpected run.

Sell High, Buy Low

Sell Siakam? Nope. Not yet. He's your keeper. That performance wasn't a one-off on a bad defense. Unless you need an immediate trade return, hold.

Buy the Hornets' supporting cast - If they're chasing Charlotte's depth contributors on waivers, pounce first. One 21-point win doesn't prove anything long-term, but the offensive balance is real.

Fade Pacers streamers - Indiana's defensive issues are legit. Don't get cute loading up on their players just because they're "due." Wait for a real stability signal before trusting them again.
