Daily Fantasy Week 8: KD and the Kids
Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, and the Rockets rising stars are here to compete.
The addition of future Hall of Famer Kevin Durant into an already promising young Rockets core makes things interesting in Clutch City.
Match 1: The Los Angeles Clippers at the Houston Rockets
It is insane that in his 18th season, Kevin Durant is still a productive player–he is actually the Rockets’ top scorer. That smooth, buttery jumper is still unguardable, and his scoring will always be an essential part of any team’s offense. Alperen Sengun is still developing but has already improved a lot from last season, and his Jokic-style of play is taking over the league. The Rockets find themselves ranked 4th in the Western conference, but they definitely could be better if things go right.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Kevin Durant
Vice Captain: Alperen Sengun (if available)
Key picks: James Harden, Amen Thompson. John Collins, Jabari Smith Jr.
Match 2: The Boston Celtics at the Milwaukee Bucks
The Boston Celtics are currently on a five-game win streak, and despite Tatum’s recent, emotional rehab update which raised doubts on a return this season, the C’s are considerably doing well. Jaylen Brown and the Boston wings won 8 out of their last 10 outings, and with Giannis out, they are expected to win against the troubled Bucks.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Jaylen Brown
Vice Captain: Myles Turner
Key picks: Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Jr., Derrick White, Payton Pritchard
Match 3: The Phoenix Suns at the Oklahoma City Thunder
Seven Thunder players are officially out and injured, but this team is so deep that they are still winning, and the competition cannot seem to figure them out. Isaiah Hartenstein, SGA, Luguentz Dort, Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe, and Nikola Topic are all out, but they just keep dominating, even winning a game by 30. Devin Booker is out, but he might play against the Thunder, but that might not matter.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (if available)
Vice Captain: Chet Holmgren
Key picks: Devin Booker, Jalen Williams, Ajay Mitchell, Mark Williams
Match 4: The Chicago Bulls at the Charlotte Hornets
How the mighty have fallen! The Bulls started the season strongly with an early 9-game win streak, but they caught some of those famous Chicago blues and are now nursing a 7-game losing streak. Things are not looking great right now, that even the lowly Charlotte Hornets may even be a threat to them.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Miles Bridges
Vice Captain: Josh Giddey
Key picks: Kon Knueppel, Collin Sexton, Nikola Vucevic, Coby White, Moussa Diabate
