Royce O'Neale

Royce O'Neale recorded a season-high 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3PT, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block, and one steal over 33 minutes in Monday's 10-92 loss to the Raptors.

Fantasy Impact

O'Neale stuffed the statsheet on Monday and recorded his best scoring total of the season. Most of the Jazz was ice-cold on Monday but O'Neale and Bojan Bogdonaovic were able to step up amidst their team's struggles and make their small forward platoon looks great. The third-year forward out of Baylor doesn't bring a ton of value to fantasy circles as this game appears to be his ceiling. For those that took the risk in DFS though, they've got to be happy with Monday's payoff.

In a 112-104 win over the Knicks on Wednesday, Royce O'Neale had three points (1-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, and one turnover in 29 minutes of action.

Fantasy Impact

O'Neale continues to show fantasy owners that he barely has value even in the deepest of fantasy leagues. With that said, you're better off avoiding him completely in regular leagues.

Royce O'Neale recorded 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3PT), seven rebounds, three assists, and one block over 29 minutes in Monday's 126-113 win over the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

O'Neale scored all of his point from behind the arc on Monday. His season averages would lead you to believe that he isn't valuable in fantasy, but over his last three games he's averaging 11.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.7 blocks over 30.1 minutes. His value in DFS makes him a solid play as he rides this mini hot streak.

Royce O’Neal chipped in 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, three steals and an assist over 29 minutes in the Jazz’s 114-103 loss to the Celtics on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

O'Neale was back in the starting five Wednesday, and he had a productive showing in the loss. The versatile forward has averaged 6.1 points, 5.2 boards, 2.5 assists and 1.2 threes in his third season, making him a fine asset in deeper leagues.

The Utah Jazz will start Royce O'Neale in favor of Mike Conley going forward.

Fantasy Impact

With Mike Conley in the middle of a frustrating season, the Jazz have decided that Royce O'Neale will be a better fit in the starting lineup moving forward. O'Neale is a better 'real life' player than he is in fantasy, putting up averages of 6.0 points and 5.2 rebounds a night while scoring in double-digits only once in his last 18 games. As of now, It remains to be seen what the rotation will look like for Utah, though Wednesday night's game versus the Celtics should provide some sort of idea.
