Guards
SG/PG Andrew Nembhard, Indiana Pacers vs. Philadelphia 76ers ($5.9K FD/$5.5K DK)
Since returning from injury, Nembhard has been a catalyst for the Pacers’ recent improved play. In his last three games, he has scored at least 30 fantasy points. He does not score a lot, but he is involved in other ways on the court. He is a great passer that leads to points, and he sticks his nose in the rebounding battle as well. With the Sixers banged up, this would be another good game for Nembhard to leave his mark.
SG/SF/PG Buddy Hield, Golden State Warriors vs. Washington Wizards ($5.2K FD/$4.7K DK)
Hield has become the top scoring option for the Warriors’ second unit with Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga out. Hield has scored over 15 points in three of his last four games including some other stats that has produced a solid fantasy score as of late. Hield has a great matchup against the Wizards’ second unit so take the flier on Hield tonight.
Forwards
SF/PF Andrew Wiggins, Golden State Warriors vs. Washington Wizards ($6.4K FD/$5.8K DK)
Wiggins has scored 20 points in his last two games shouldering some of the scoring load for the Warriors while Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga recover from illness and injury. Green is set to return tonight, but that should not stifle Wiggins’ scoring impact. As long as Wiggins can corral some boards tonight, he should be able to put up a good fantasy score.
SF/SG Bennedict Mathurin, Indiana Pacers vs. Philadelphia 76ers ($6K FD/$5.9K DK)
Mathurin missed the Pacers’ last game due to suspension, but he returns tonight. He will be looking to have an impact throughout this game to help the Pacers continue their momentum in 2025. With Paul George potentially limited or out this game, Mathurin can be aggressive scoring at the rim and continue to stuff the stat sheet.
Centers
C/PF Alex Sarr, Washington Wizards @ Golden State Warriors ($6.5K FD/$5.6K DK)
Sarr is having a decent rookie season as a somewhat bright spot for the Washington franchise. He has scored at least 35 points in his last two contests. Sarr has stuffed the stat sheet with things other than just scoring and rebounding. He has a decent matchup against Trayce Jackson-Davis although the Wizards will probably not win the game.
PrizePicks
Pascal Siakam OVER 20 points
Siakam has been on fire as of late. The Sixers will be without Caleb Martin and possibly Guerschon Yabusele which creates a massive mismatch for Siakam.
Tim Hardaway Jr. OVER 3.5 rebs + asts
Hardaway has achieved at least four total rebounds and assists in his last five games.
Buddy Hield OVER 12.5 points
Hield has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four games.
