PF 2 - LaMarcus Aldridge (San Antonio Spurs):

The Spurs had a pretty bad Week 7 in the NBA 2018-19 season, getting drubbed by the Minesotta Timberwolves and then by the Houston Rockets. They had some retribution against the Portland Trailblazers by beating them 131-118 and a big part of this win was the combination of star guard DeMar DeRozan and their forward LaMarcus Aldridge.

The Spurs seem to be thriving on DeRozan and Aldridge

In a league moving towards big men who shoot 3s and post up lesser, Aldridge is a throwback. He has been posting the ball up more than any other forward in the league and has still been a dominant presence in the team. He scored 29 points and grabbed 8 rebounds in the win over the Blazers, even though this season, he has averaged only 18.5 points to go with almost 11 rebounds per game. He has started to get into form and now is the time to go in on him.
