What’s up, y’all?
It’s week 19.
Welcome back to The Playlist.
We’re at that point of the season where your playoffs could already be underway, are about to get going, or still have two weeks left.

If you’re playing in a Yahoo default league, your trade deadline ends this Thursday, so that is your last time to make that last-minute change, switch up your roster right before you make that playoff push.
But I have three pickups that you’ll wanna make across leagues, starting with high score.
Pick up Nick Clifford.
He’s been over 44 fantasy points in three of his last four games, and with Zach LaVine out for the season, this rookie’s gonna continue to provide a lot of stocks, rebounds, and assists for fantasy managers.
And if that shot falls on top of that, this guy’s gonna have some real league-winning potential across leagues.

Also, in deeper leagues, I would look at Derrick Jones Jr.
He’s under 10% rostered right now, and that’s too low considering that two starters got hurt on Sunday in Chris Dunn and John Collins.
And Derrick Jones Jr. has been a top 150 player over the course of the last month.
He’ll give you the scoring, the threes, as well as stocks.
Expect a little boost in the beginning of the week, and the Clippers have a great schedule.
Lastly, I’m picking up Pella Larsson of the Miami Heat.
Now, Norm Powell is week-to-week with a groin injury.
Tyler Herro’s still working his way back from his toe injury, coming off the bench.

Pella Larsson, 18 starts this year, 13 points, five boards, four assists.
He’s been a pretty good nine-cap player, and this is a guy that I think is gonna hold a role for the Miami Heat going forward because his on/off splits just look really good.
Him and Caleb Ware are clicking, really rocking for this Miami Heat team, so fantasy managers need to get on board as well.
That’ll do it for The Playlist this week.
I’ll see y’all in week 20, and hopefully you guys are making that final playoff push.
Peace.
