In two of his last three games, Nutall has reached 20 or more points, playing as the secondary scoring option behind Zhuric Phelps.

Jalen Smith - Usual role Saturday Smith (head) closed with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one assist over 20 minutes during Saturday's 69-68 loss to Jackson State.
Impact Fortunately for Smith, his previous head injury did not prevent him from continuing his regular role as one of SMU's backup guards. Fantasy managers should not consider him an option that will significantly help them.
DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Franklin Agunanne - Zero points across 12 minutes Agunanne logged zero points (0-1 FG) and four rebounds over 12 minutes during Saturday's 69-68 loss to Jackson State.
Impact As a senior, Aguanne failed to score his first game started and log in which he recorded more than 10 minutes. Fantasy managers should not expect him supplying much output until further notice. After a performance like that, it is expected that Efe Odigie will replace Aguanne again soon.
DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Efe Odigie - Falls out of staring five Odigie is not listed in the starting five ahead of Saturday's game versus Jackson State.

Impact In his second career start, Phelps tallied a career high in points, including helping out on the defensive end. Phelps played 35 minutes, the most among starters in the win.

Impact While the volume and usage were great signs for Phelps as a prospective fantasy asset, he did turn the ball over eight times, which could be a concern depending on the format. Turnovers were fortunately not a major issue for Phelps in his freshman season, as he averaged 1.0 per contest while appearing in 32 games and averaging 14.4 minutes.
