Malik Beasley

The Denver Nuggets are interested in reaching an early extension deal with shooting guard Malik Beasley. The deadline is October 21.

Fantasy Impact

This is a promising sign for Beasley's tenure on the Nuggets. He has been averaging nearly 16 points and 55 percent shooting from the field. The desire to get a deal done early shows the Nuggets' commitment towards him and his value on the second unit. Monitor his deal status and playing time before drafting him. He may be a waiver-wire pickup sometime into the season if he gets more playing time.

Malik Beasley got some more opportunities on Sunday night against the Blazers and did well with them as he finished with 15 points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 24 minutes. Beasley went 6-for-14 from the field and 2-for-6 from three.

Fantasy Impact

Beasley had a strong middle of the season as the Nuggets backcourt was injured but as of late, he's been somewhat non-existent. He'll look to build off of this performance on Tuesday night against the Jazz.

Malik Beasley will not play on Tuesday versus the Detroit Pistons due to personal reasons.

Fantasy Impact

With Beasley out, Monte Morris, Will Barton, and Gary Harris will all get a boost in value and minutes.

Malik Beasley put in 12 points and one rebound in 21 minutes of floor time on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Beasley has scored in double-digits in every other game this month, which doesn't really bode well for someone whose fantasy value relies on his scoring. Beasley is hitting 2.3 triples per game so he's an option as a three-point specialist, but that's it.

Malik Beasley came off the bench on Monday night and finished with 15 points, three assists, and three rebounds in only 22 minutes. Beasley went 6-for-11 from the field and 2-for-6 from three.

Fantasy Impact

Beasley's minutes have gone down as the Denver backcourt is finally healthy. He's a risky start but has proven to catch on fire from three which still garners some fantasy attention.
