Isaiah Wong plays well in 16 minutes in loss to the Sixers

Fantasy Impact:

Keep an eye on Wong. While he might not be a part of your immediate fantasy strategy, there’s no denying his talent. Wong has been impressive at every level, from his collegiate dominance as a Miami Hurricane to his standout performances in the G-League. With the Salt Lake City Stars this year, he averaged 31.4 minutes, 24.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game while shooting an efficient 46.3 percent from the floor and 41.0 percent from deep. Those marks even show improvement from his previous year’s production. That consistency carries over to his NBA minutes this season. In just 15.5 minutes per game, Wong is averaging 7.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.5 steals, while shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from three. Double those numbers, and his production aligns closely with his G-League output. Against a competitive Sixers team, he put up an intriguing 11.0 points, 4.0 steals, and 1.0 rebound, which could earn him additional opportunities. While it might take a series of injuries or the team streamlining their roster decisions to fully unleash Wong, his potential makes him a player worth monitoring as the season progresses. For now, he’s best left as a speculative flier in DFS formats, as he doesn’t yet warrant consideration in category leagues.
