Comes close to double-double Seabron had 14 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four steals, three assists and a block across 33 minutes in Saturday's win over Wake Forest.
Impact Seabron has struggled to produce much in fantasy all season long, but he delivered a strong performance Saturday -- he recorded season-high marks in points, rebounds and steals, while also tying his season-best mark for assists. He has started NC State's last two games and might remain in the lineup for Wednesday's tough matchup at Virginia.

Keeps scoring for fun Hellems posted 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and two rebounds across 34 minutes in Saturday's win over Wake Forest.
Impact Hellems continues to be the Wolfpack's biggest offensive threat on a nightly basis, as he has now scored in double digits in each of NC State's last 10 contests. He is averaging 15.1 points across 31.2 minutes per game in that stretch while shooting 50 percent from the field and 46.4 percent from three in that span.

Logs two minutes in return Dowuona (illness) supplied two empty minutes off the bench Saturday versus Wake Forest in his return.
Impact Dowuona missed some time due to illness but appears to be available for bench depth in the frontcourt moving forward. However, he's unlikely to attain a consistent role in the rotation this season.

Has sprained ankle Head coach Kevin Keatts said Wednesday he doesn't know when Allen (ankle) will be able to return, PackPride.com reports.
Impact Allen missed Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh due to a sprained ankle, but it's unclear how much more time he could miss. Allen's status ahead of Saturday's game against Wake Forest remains up in the air, but if he's not able to play, the team will turn to Braxton Beverley and Cam Hayes to pick up minutes in the backcourt.

Two boards shy of double-double Funderburk registered 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-9 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and a steal across 35 minutes in Wednesday's win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Funderburk was just two rebounds away from putting up his first double-double of the season, and he scored in double digits for the fourth time in a row -- that's his longest streak of the season. He is averaging 12.8 points per game in five February games.

Extends impressive scoring streak Hellems scored 17 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and grabbed a rebound in 25 minutes during Wednesday's win at Pittsburgh.
Impact Hellems paced the Wolfpack in the win, and he has been NC State's biggest scoring threat of late -- he has scored in double digits in nine straight games while surpassing the 15-point mark four times in that stretch. He is averaging 15.2 points per game in that nine-game span.

Collects 12 points off bench Beverly (hip) had 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt) in 21 minutes off the bench during NC State's 74-73 victory over Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Impact While Beverly was out of the starting lineup for the second consecutive game, he still managed to put up his highest scoring total since Jan. 23 despite dealing with apparent hip discomfort. Outside of one turnover, however, the senior didn't tally a single counting stat beyond his scoring, which limits the fantasy ceiling moving forward.

Missing more action Dowuona (illness) didn't suit up in Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh.
Impact The freshman missed his third straight game with a stomach bug, as he still doesn't have a timetable for a return. Dowuona has suited up in just seven games this season, averaging 1.2 rebounds across 7.6 minutes per contest. His next chance to suit up is in Saturday's game against Wake Forest.

Will come off bench Wednesday Moore will come off the bench in Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh.
Impact Moore was coming off scoring a team-high 13 points last time out against Duke. That was the freshman's second start of the season. He is currently averaging 7.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 18.4 minutes per contest.
FEBRUARY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Getting another start Seabron will start Wedneday's game against Pitt.
Impact Seabron isn't typically a huge producer from a fantasy standpoint, and the change in role didn't really result in a big minutes boost during his only other start of 2020-21, so his inclusion in the starting lineup shouldn't be read into too far Wednesday. It's worth noting, however, that Thomas Allen (lower leg) will miss the game and Braxton Beverly (wrist) is a bit banged up, so there is a chance Seabron will log a few extra minutes.
FEBRUARY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Back in starting lineup Hayes is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh.
Impact Hayes will be making his seventh start of the season. The freshman has been averaging 6.1 points and 3.0 assists in 19.5 minutes per game. He did not start last time out against Duke.
FEBRUARY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Not starting again Beverly (wrist) isn't starting Wednesday's game against Pitt.
Impact This doesn't necessarily mean Beverly won't play in the contest, but his wrist issue may be persisting and preventing him from being able to handle a full workload. Deron Seabron will instead get the start Wednesday with Thomas Allen (lower leg) out of commission.

Takes part in shootaround Beverly (hip) participated in shootaround ahead of Wednesday's game against Pitt, R. Cory Smith of 247Sports reports.
Impact Beverly was held to just 12 minutes in a bench role during Saturday's game against Duke to a bothersome hip, but he may be needed for more work Wednesday with Thomas Allen (lower leg) set to miss the contest. Beverly's presence in early shootaround serves as a good indicator that he will likely be available in some capacity versus the Panthers.
FEBRUARY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Out with leg injury Allen will miss Wednesday's game against Pitt due to a leg lower left leg injury.
Impact On a positive note, X-rays on Allen's leg returned negative so there's a chance the issue won't keep him out long. With Wednesday's contest out the window, his next opportunity to take the floor arrives Saturday against Wake Forest. Braxton Beverly (hip), if available, seems the logical candidate to rejoin the starting lineup in Allen's absence.
