Fantasy Basketball Gold: 4 Outstanding Performances from November 2-4, 2025
So far, the first week of November delivered some spectacular performances - with 4 coming from players with bargain basement Salary Cap Sports pricing
Breakout Alert: Jake LaRavia
Exploded for 25 points off the bench for the Lakers. LaRavia's versatility and hustle have earned him consistent minutes in the rotation, and this scoring outburst suggests he's ready for expanded offensive responsibility. He added 8 rebounds to round out a stellar fantasy line. With LeBron's return timeline still uncertain, LaRavia's minutes are secure, and he's showing he can produce when given opportunities.
Career Revival: Isaiah Jackson
In the most unexpected performance of the night, Jackson turned back the clock with 21 points and 10 rebounds—his highest scoring output since posting 26 points in January 2022. With the Pacers decimated by injuries (Tyrese Haliburton out for the season with an Achilles tear), Jackson is seeing extended minutes and making the most of his opportunity. With Myles Turner now in Milwaukee and the Pacers' injury crisis, Jackson should see consistent 25-30 minutes. He offers double-double upside and defensive stats.
The Brodie Bounces Back
Russell Westbrook turned in season-high numbers with 26 points and 12 rebounds against his former team, the Denver Nuggets. Westbrook has found a rhythm coming off the bench and providing instant energy and production. Westbrook's inconsistency makes him tough to trust, but on his good nights, he still delivers counting stats.
Moses Moody's Breakout Night
The surprise of the evening came from Moses Moody, who erupted for 24 points off the bench with five three-pointers. Moody has been waiting for his opportunity in Golden State's crowded rotation, and he seized the moment with both hands. His shooting touch and defensive effort earned him extended minutes. With the Warriors dealing with injuries and playing deep into their rotation, Moody could be a huge plus if he maintains this role. He offers threes, points, and defensive stats.
