Daily Fantasy Week 13: Chaos Before the Storm
Chaos in the NBA!
The action picks up as the teams jockey for position and search for the perfect mix of players. The chaos that characterizes the NBA before the February deadline has already begun.
—
Match 1: The Denver Nuggets vs the Dallas Mavericks
The Denver Nuggets will be expected to win this match-up even without Nikola Jokic. They will be eager to avenge their Christmas Eve loss against Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks. There will be no Anthony Davis this time, and Dallas is already without star player Kyrie Irving.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Jamal Murray
Vice Captain: Cooper Flagg
Key picks: Aaron Gordon, Peyton Watson, Naji Marshall, PJ Washington
Match 2: The Oklahoma City Thunder vs the Houston Rockets
It seems like the Oklahoma City Thunder have gotten out of their funk following their victory against their arch-enemies, the San Antonio Spurs. However, the Rockets are no fluke and they look like they are already getting used to playing together. The Rockets have the height, the talent, and the youth to to compete with the defending champs.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Vice Captain: Chet Holmgren
Key picks: Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, Jalen Williams, Amen Thompson
Match 3: The Milwaukee Bucks vs the San Antonio Spurs
The Bucks were kicked in the butt by the Minnesota Timberwolves in their previous game. Giannis scored 25, 8 and 9 but it did not matter as they smoked and the Wolves won by 33. They are now going to play an arguably stronger team. The Spurs are expected to take this dub home even with Wemby playing limited minutes due to the hyperextended knee.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Vice Captain: Victor Wembanyama
Key picks: D’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Kevin Porter Jr., Ryan Rollins
Match 4: The Washington Wizards vs the Denver Nuggets
It would be fun to see Trae Young in a new jersey. If he plays, he would be facing the Denver Nuggets in his first games as a wizard–not a great looking proposition for his Washington debut. The Nuggets are expected to win this as the Wizards are one of the league’s worst teams. However, fresh starts should not be taken lightly as Trae Young might be on a mission to show the world that he could still carry a team, and what an opportunity he has.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Jamal Murray
Vice Captain: Trae Young (if available)
Key picks: Aaron Gordon, Peyton Watson, Tim Hardaway, Jr., Alex Sarr, Kyshawn George
