The sample size for the current NBA campaign continues to grow, which indicates we should start acknowledging the legitimacy of breakout performances around the league. A week or two into the season, its reasonable to dismiss a few big box scores as outliers, but now that were a quarter of the way into the marathon, its time to take note of which surprisingly productive players merit ownership throughout fantasy basketball leagues.George Hill cant seem to stay on the floor for Utah, but he has been prolific when active this season. Given the rash of injuries, the 11-game sample size for Hill is admittedly small this season, but its astounding to note hes fifth in the NBA (minimum 20 minutes per game) in effective field goal shooting, and ranks 11th among point guards on the Player Rater by averages this season. For some specific evidence, we find Hill is 15th in the league in points per game as the ball handler on pick-and-roll plays, in part thanks to earning free throws on 11.8 percent of such plays. A 56.3 percent leap in points per game above his average output from the past four seasons stands out, but increased free throw production and 3-point volume and efficiency validate the scoring surge.Phillys Sergio Rodriguez is enjoying his second stint in the NBA after years of stardom in the Spanish League with Real Madrid -- he even won EuroLeague MVP honors in 2014. Jerryd Bayless cant seem to get past this lingering wrist ailment, affording Rodriguez heavy minutes and a ball-dominant role on a team that looks to push the ball in regards to pace and transition. Eighth in frontcourt touches per game and sixth in the NBA assist percentage behind only Russell Westbrook, James Harden, John Wall, Chris Paul and LeBron James, Rodriguez is in elite company in the distribution department. Seventh among point guards in the past seven days on the Player Rater and 18th during the past 15 days, Rodriguez is available in nearly 80 percent of ESPN leagues. Adding Rodriguez costs only a few clicks and a roster spot at this point.The market is finally acknowledging Sean Kilpatricks emergence, as the Brooklyn Nets gunner is now owned in just more than 60 percent of ESPN leagues after spending the first month of the season floating in free agency in most formats. Eighteenth among shooting guards on the Player Rater and thriving in Kenny Atkinsons possession-centric scheme -- the Nets are second in the NBA in pace this season -- Kilpatricks breakout appears sustainable.Another impressive statistical commodity can be found in a majority of ESPN leagues, as investors have dropped the Suns T.J. Warren to an ownership rate below 40 percent thanks to a lingering head injury. General manager Ryan McDonough recently went out of his way to praise Warren as the teams best two-way player this season, while 32.4 minutes and 15.6 shots per game this season suggest a high-volume role waits for the talented wing when he returns to action. Expected to hit the court soon, Warren is 11th in the NBA in points per touch, and merits proactive interest for those looking to acquire a high-volume asset on a team that leads the league in pace.Fantasy Forecaster: Dec. 12-18The Nets pace-driven offense faces three similarly up-tempo foes in what should be a rewarding four-game schedule in the coming week. The Rockets and Raptors enjoy perfect ratings this week thanks to four-game schedules rife with positive matchups. It also appears to be a solid week to stream from the Kings and target their roster in daily fantasy, as they enjoy up-tempo, fantasy-friendly matchups for much of the slate.On the unfavorable end of the spectrum, the Timberwolves are the lone team with two games in the upcoming slate, thus we should avoid streaming from Minnesotas roster. The Celtics also claim an undesirable stretch, with meetings against slower-paced, defensive-minded foes defining their upcoming schedule.Access the downloadable forecaster chart PDF hereMatchup ratings are based on a scale from 1 (poor matchup) to 10 (excellent matchup). These are calculated using a formula that evaluates the teams year-to-date and past 10 games statistics, their opponents numbers in those categories and their performance in home/road games depending on where the game is to be played. The column to the left lists the teams total number of games scheduled, as well as home games, and lists the overall rating from 1 to 10 for that teams weekly schedule.Isolated successHarrison Barnes 74.3 percent leap in scoring output from last season with the Warriors to this season for the Mavericks is proving impressive from a fantasy perspective. The source of such success isnt from beyond the arc, as Barnes has dipped from shooting 39.4 percent during the past two seasons to just 30.3 this season.We expected a deflation in shooting efficiency, as Barnes enjoyed a bevy of uncontested corner 3-pointers with the Warriors, and is now facing contested shots at the Mavericks leading scorer. Instead, the source of scoring volume for Barnes is coming from isolation plays, as he leads the NBA with 5.9 points (nearly 29 percent of his overall scoring production) on such offensive sets. Barnes is scoring on 50.4 percent of his isolation plays this season. This is a valuable reality for Barnes fantasy stock, as drives and isolation plays prove sustainable for scoring success.Pick-and-roll pointsThe Hornets Kemba Walker leads the league with 11.9 points per game as the ball handler on pick and roll plays, just ahead of Harden and Westbrook in this metric. One player thriving on such plays and still available in over 20 percent of ESPN leagues (and likely still cheap in trade talks) is Detroits Reggie Jackson, as hes seventh (and rising) in the NBA with 9.5 points per game as the lead guard on pick and roll sets. Among the league leaders in drives and pick and roll production last season, we should pursue discounted shares of Jackson while hes still on his current minute restriction.Post producersMarc Gasol is in the midst of a career campaign, as ESPNs Zach Lowe reveals the Grizzlies center is on pace for one of the best assist rates in league history for a player of his size. Gasol is also enjoying a career campaign in the scoring department. This success is in part due to Gasol leading the NBA in scoring on post-up plays, besting the likes of DeMarcus Cousins and Joel Embiid.Gasol remains a value on DFS markets and could sustain his elite passing metrics with Mike Conley sidelined, validating his perch as a top commodity on the Player Rater among centers.
