Ali Ali - Career high against BuffaloAli provided 32 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 16-22 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 37 minutes during Saturday's 88-76 victory over Buffalo.

ImpactAli had to work through a bit of a cold stretch in mid-November, but is now averaging an impressive 18.7 ppg over his last six contests, culminating in a career-best scoring total Saturday. It's no coincidence the Zips have gone 6-0 over that stretch. Fantasy managers in formats that include the MAC likely are hoping for more than a 3.5 rpg average from a player who serves as his team's primary power forward, but the scoring is starting to look consistent enough for the third-year forward to remain relevant.
