Tips Fantasy NBA M34

Here we go again with another 2-round matchday! This time there won’t be any players getting their average scores, so we can include them all in our tips.

Centers

• Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz, 18.6 credits): The Frenchman is on a roll right now and he’s up against the Washington Wizards, which means no one will be able to stop him under the rim.
• Richaun Holmes (Sacramento Kings, 13 credits): Even though he’s not Gobert, it’s more of the same here, since they’ll also face the Wizards. He’s doing amazingly lately and is still low-cost.
• DeAndre Jordan (Brooklyn Nets, 10.9 credits): In the New York derby he barely missed the double-double, but he proved once again that he knows how to exploit the fact that Nets’ rivals mainly focus on the Big Two (Three of course when KD is healhty).

Forwards

• Jimmy Butler (Miami Heat, 19.7 credits): When he plays, he scores or at least grazes 50 PDK, plain and simple. Just pick him anytime you can.
• Julius Randle (New York Knicks, 17.2 credits): Considering that the Knicks will be taking on the Magic, Randle seems like a must-pick, too. A triple-double might very well be in order on this one.
• Andre Wiggins (Golden State Warriors, 9.4 credits): We get it, it’s hard to trust him, but he can easily score 25 or more against the Rockets, and we don’t see the defense contesting too many shots.

Guards

• Russell Westbrook (Washington Wizards, 18.4 credits): Now that he plays both legs of back-to-backs, there’s nothng to worry about. He might not be the Russell Westbrook of old, but he’s a lot better than anyone could imagine after the first half of the season.
• Lonzo Ball (New Orleans Pelicans, 11.7 credits): For some reason people don’t talk about him enough, but he’s been a pretty good fantasy player lately, and surprisingly so.
• Ricky Rubio (Minnesota Timberwolves, 9.2 credits): He said it himself, he’s in really good shape right now and stats are starting to reflect that. The match-up against his former team will certainly provide some extra motivation.

Coaches

• Erik Spoelstra (Miami Heat, 9.2 credits): The Heat have won 11 of the last 12 games, only falling short against the Hawks. It’s really hard to imagine the Grizzlies stopping their winning streak.
• Nate McMillan (Atlanta Hawks, 7.7 credits): McMillan turned the Hawks around and now they’re starting to climb through the Eastern Conference ranking. The Thunder might give them and Trae Young some problems, but in the end they’ll probably fall.
