A small NBA slate is on the docket today, with plenty of college football going on. Shout out to all the YouTube TV customers out there. Welcome back to civilization! Since you do not have to stress about how to watch games today, check out these NBA plays below!
Guards
PG/SG Ajay Mitchell, Oklahoma City Thunder @ Charlotte Hornets ($5.9K FD/$6.6K DK)
Mitchell continues to provide extreme value for the Thunder off the bench. Mitchell is playing around 30 minutes a game, giving him plenty of opportunity to rack up the stats. He is averaging close to 17 points a gam,e to go along with close to four rebounds and four assists. Mitchell has a good matchup against an improved Hornets team, but it is still a good value for Mitchell at his price.
PG/SG Andrew Nembhard, Indiana Pacers vs. Toronto Raptors ($6.9K FD/$6.8K DK)
Nembhard is four games into his return from injury in the Pacers’ season opener. The Pacers have had the worst injury luck of the season so far, leaving few options for the Pacers. Nembhard’s minutes have been limited to around 27-29 minutes, but he is effective offensively in those minutes. He has scored at least 32 fantasy points over his last three games, so add him to your lineup.
Forwards
SF/PF Jaden McDaniels, Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Denver Nuggets ($6.2K FD/$5.9K DK)
McDaniels has scored at least 30 fantasy points in four of his last six games. With Cameron Johnson out tonight, McDaniels will match up with the likes of Spencer Jones and Peyton Watson. I like McDaniels in those scenarios, so plug him into your lineup to stuff the stat sheet tonight.
PF Aaron Gordon, Denver Nuggets @ Minnesota Timberwolves ($5.6K FD/$6K DK)
With Nikola Jokic questionable tonight, Gordon will be huge in the rebounding department. Whether Jokic is out or limited tonight, there will be opportunities for Gordon to step up his play against the Wolves. Gordon has had no issues offensively, but his playmaking has been lacking recently, as Jokic continues to put up insane numbers once again this season.
Centers
C Jakob Poeltl, Toronto Raptors @ Indiana Pacers ($5.6K FD/DK)
Poeltl does not have season averages that will blow you away, but Poeltl has scored 36 and 38 fantasy points in his last two contests. As mentioned earlier, the Pacers have suffered several injuries to their roster, and players such as Tony Bradley, Isaiah Jackson, and Jay Huff have rotated in and out at center for Indiana. Poeltl should have a good opportunity to keep his momentum going tonight on the road, so consider Poeltl for your center spot today.
PrizePicks
De’Andre Hunter OVER 17.5 points
Hunter has resumed starter minutes and has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games.
Aaron Gordon OVER 16.5 points
Gordon is averaging nearly 20 points this season, and if Jokic is out tonight, it could be more.
Bobby Portis OVER 10.5 points
Portis has scored over 10 points in his last four games, and they will need his points against the Lakers tonight.
