Nick Martinelli - Nine straight with 20-plus Martinelli supplied 22 points (9-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 39 minutes during Saturday's 77-58 loss to Nebraska.

Impact Martinelli's ninth consecutive game with 20 or more points actually brought his season-long average down a tick to 23.7 ppg -- good for the second-best average in the country. Northwestern may be a woeful 0-7 in Big Ten play, but Martinelli remains one of the top fantasy assets in the nation as the team's go-to option. On top of the scoring, Martinelli is averaging career highs in rebounding (6.8 rpg) and shooting percentage (56.3). The Wildcats hit the road this week for matchup at USC (Jan. 21) and UCLA (Jan. 24).
