Power Conferences
Anthony Robinson, G, Missouri (Fantrax Ownership: 13%)
After failing to crack double figures in four straight games, Robinson has righted the ship and is putting up 16.3 PPG over his last four. In addition, the junior guard has been one of the best defensive threats over that stretch with 2.5 SPG, as well as solid contributions in the rebounding (4.5 RPG) and assists (4.5 APG) categories. Missouri gets Kentucky and Ole Miss this week.
Brayden Burries, G, Arizona (17%)
Burries is still owned in less of 20 percent of Fantrax leagues and part of that could be attributed to how slow he began his freshman campaign. Safe to say the five-star recruit has figured things out, as he is putting up 17.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.7 steals over the last nine games. Burries will look to help the Wildcats stay unbeated this week against Kansas

Burries will look to help the Wildcats stay unbeated this week against Kansas State and TCU.
Sananda Fru, F/C, Louisville (8%)
Fru has hit the 30-point mark in fantasy three times this season and they happen to have come in each of the last three games. Over that stretch Fru is averaging 15.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.7 assists. Louisville had a lot of other options in the frontcourt that many thought would be getting time ahead of Fru, but Kasean Pryor, Aly Khalifa and Khani Rooths have nowhere near the production of the 6-11 big man.
Solomon Washington, F/C, Maryland (<1%)
Washington missed the first month of the season with an ankle injury, but has been productive since returning. He has logged double figure rebounds in each of his last three games. Over that stretch he is putting up 13.0 points and 12.3 rebounds per contest. He's been a reliable player for years for coach Buzz Williams and he should continue to be a big part of the equation for Maryland, especially with fellow big man Pharrel Payne (leg) expected to miss some time.
Stefan Vaaks, G, Providence (4%)
Vaaks is another one of these fabulous freshman that has defined this season. He's been incredibly consistent, as he has scored in double figures in all 14 games. Vaaks is a tremendous shooter knocking down 2.7 three-pointers per contest and also is putting up 3.3 APG and 2.6 RPG. Vaaks has great size for a wing at 6-7 and should only improve as the season rolls along. Providence is coming off a big win over St. John's and will look to take down UConn next.
Roddie Anderson, G, Xavier (<1%)
Anderson has only started four games this season, but his usage rate of late is better than ever Xavier's leading scorer of Tre Carroll (16.1 PPG). Anderson is putting up 14.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.3 three-pointers with a 31.2 percent usage rate over the last seven games. Expect coach Richard Pitino to keep leaning on the veteran throughout Big East play.
Jasen Green, F/C, Creighton (1%)
It's been a disappointing season for Creighton's frontcourt with transfer Owen Freeman being a bust and former top 50 recruit Jackson McAndrew suffering a season-ending injury. Green's play has been a bright spot, however, as he is the team's second-leading scorer at 10.2 PPG and the leading rebounder at 5.1 RPG. Green is coming off his two best performances of the season last week when he went for 23 points, six rebounds, and five assists against Butler and then 13 and nine against Seton Hall.
Stephon Payne, F/C, Seton Hall (4%)
Payne has had some huge games in the last few weeks. On Dec. 19 he went for 18 points and 16 rebounds in a win over Providence, and then dropped 14 points, 22 rebounds and three blocks in a win over Marquette last week. Payne has had some duds this year, but that kind of upside is coveted from a player this widely available at this point in the season. It's been a big bounce back campaign for coach Shaheen Holloway after the Pirates mustered just seven wins last year.
Other Conferences
AJ Lopez, G, Richmond
Lopez has been feeling it of late. Over his last five games he averaging 15.6 points and 1.6 three-pointers while shooting over 61 percent from behind the arc. Lopez is also getting after it on the defensive end at 1.6 SPG over that stretch. Those numbers are even better than what he was putting up last season at Maine. Lopez will hope to help Richmond be competitive in the A-10 this year.
Wes Enis G, South Florida
Another elite shooter to consider is a man who just his 10 triples on Sunday in a double-overtime loss to UAB. It came right after he missed the previous two games with a foot injury, so that doesn't appear to be a concern moving forward. South Florida plays at an extremely fast pace, which is great for the likes of Enis and backcourt mate Joseph Pinion who rank first and second in three-pointers attempted per game, respectively.
Jordan Mason, G, Temple
Mason has been on an absolute tear of late. Over the last six games he is averaging 14.7 points, 6.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals per contest. That stretch also includes a pair of double-doubles, the last of which marked a season-high 43-point fantasy effort with 15 points, 12 assists, five rebounds and four steals in a win over UTSA. Mason will look to help Temple run the win streak to seven on Wednesday against ECU.
David Fuchs, F/C, San Francisco
After missing three games in early December with an upper-body injury, Fuchs has been very strong since returning. In the last six games he is putting up 15.0 points and 7.7 rebounds. That includes a pair of double-doubles and a pair of 20-point outings. The Dons are now inside the Top 100 on KenPom and Fuchs will try to keep them there with games against Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine this week.
