Walker Kessler - Triple-double after stat correction Kessler chipped in 16 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and 11 blocks across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 70-55 victory over LSU.
Impact Kessler was originally credited with just nine rebounds in the contest, but a stat correction was applied to give him just the second triple-double in program history. His shot-blocking prowess has been a tremendous asset for fantasy managers this season, as he's now averaging 4.2 rejections per contest, good for third in the nation and tops in SEC. Kessler recorded three blocks before LSU made its first shot Wednesday, and his 55 rejections on the year are more than North Carolina -- his former team -- has combined (43). His effort was a driving force in shutting down the undefeated Tigers, and he's showing no signs of slowing down heading into SEC play.

Allen Flanigan - Productive in first start Flanigan totaled 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 70-55 victory over LSU.
Impact Flanigan missed the first 11 games of the season due to an Achilles injury but made his debut off the bench Dec. 22, posting three points and four rebounds in 12 minutes. He saw a workload Wednesday more typical of what one would expect from a healthy Flanigan, reaching double figures while also making meaningful contributions in the ancillary categories. If other managers have been asleep in season-long fantasy games, consider Flanigan a must-add for the rest of the season.

K.D. Johnson - Just nine points Wednesday Johnson chipped in nine points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and four steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 70-55 victory over LSU.
Impact Johnson was held in single digits offensively for a third time across the past four outings, as the guard has cooled down significantly after a hot start. Across his first nine outings, Johnson averaged 15.1 points and shot 41.0 percent. Now throughout his previous four performances, the sophomore is posting just 7.8 points on 34.5 percent overall shooting.

Allen Flanigan - Starting Wednesday Flanigan will start Wednesday's contest againt LSU, Justin Hokanson of Auburn Live reports reports.
Impact With fellow teammate Devan Cambridge testing positive for COVID, the junior forward will start in his place. Flanigan missed the team's first 11 games of the season due to an Achilles injury, but was able to return to the court during last Wednesday's contest against Murray State. It is obviously encouraging to see Flanigan being inserted back into the starting lineup in just his second appearance on the year.
