Wizards’ Alex Len: Flirts with double-double
Alex Len tallied eight points (3-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocked shots and an assist across 20 minutes in Saturday’s 133-132 OT win over the Pacers.Coach Scott Brooks routinely makes things difficult for fantasy managers when it comes to the frontcourt, as he often shifts the rotation on a whim. He opted to give Len the start Saturday, and he responded with a solid rebound total. Len isn’t known for a high shot volume, so his ability to notch double-doubles is somewhat capped by his lack of scoring opportunities. His overall fantasy value is also restricted due to the current timeshare at the position, as Robin Lopez and Daniel Gafford are also heavily involved.

Wizards’ Alex Len: Sniffs double-double in win
Alex Len accumulated 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 24 minutes during Wednesday’s 116-107 win over the Lakers.The 27-year-old has now posted back-to-back quality games, averaging 17.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in that span. Len was only averaging 5.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in his previous nine games before Monday’s and Tuesday’s impressive performances, so fantasy managers should tread lightly before investing in the veteran big man. Still, the eighth-year center has started in each of his last 26 contests, so feel free to stream him if you need blocks along with low-end points, rebounds and field-goal percentage.
