Eligibility
Availability
Jay Huff scored 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3PT) to go with six rebounds and four blocks in Friday's 119-86 win over the Washington Wizards.
Fantasy Impact
The big man played pretty well on Friday. He scored 12 points on just one missed shot from the field and was able to contribute well in other areas of the game with six rebounds and four blocks. He should continue to be a good, but not great fantasy asset moving forward.
Jay Huff scored 11 points (3-8 FG, 3-5 3PT, 2-3 FT) to go with three rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in Monday's loss to the Pistons.
Fantasy Impact
Two games after scoring a season-high 20 points, Huff was back in double figures Monday while contributing in multiple other categories during his 17 minutes on the floor. Huff continues to put together his somewhat rare combo of threes and blocks, as he has now recorded 11 of each over his last five games combined.
Jay Huff scored 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3PT, 0-2 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in the Pacers 114-83 loss against the Warriors.
Fantasy Impact
Huff recorded his first double-double on the season. He saw more opportunity with Pascal Siakam sidelined. He played just 22 minutes with Pascal Siakam likely returning next game.
Jay Huff provided an efficient scoring punch from the second unit in Wednesday's 112-103 loss to the Nets. He finished with 16 points, two rebounds, and two blocks in just 18 minutes, connecting on 4-of-9 attempts from three-point range.
Fantasy Impact
This performance was a significant outlier for Huff, who scored at nearly a point-per-minute pace. Fantasy managers should not overreact, as Huff had scored only 25 points combined over his first seven appearances of the season. He is best left on the waiver wire until he demonstrates he can produce on a semi-consistent basis.
Jay Huff played just 12 minutes off the bench in Indiana's 141-135 double-overtime loss to Oklahoma City on Thursday, contributing five points (2-of-4 FG, 1-of-2 3Pt), three rebounds, and two blocks.
Fantasy Impact
Huff saw minimal court time despite the game extending into double overtime and starting center Isaiah Jackson logging only eight minutes himself. The Pacers opted for a more mobile frontcourt featuring Obi Toppin heavily (40 minutes). Both Huff's and Jackson's roles appear diminished early on, putting them in fantasy limbo. Huff remains worth monitoring in deep leagues in case this usage pattern was specific to the matchup rather than a new norm.
