Fantasy Tips 4: Streaks
Some teams have won multiple games in a row, while some have been tending to losing streaks. A lot of action and excitement as the fourth week of the season heats up.
The Fantasy Tips series gathers key NBA fixtures within the week and projects stat-leaders, plays scenarios, and suggests optimal fantasy picks.
Match 1: The Utah Jazz vs the Miami Heat (Wednesday)
The Utah Jazz have lost 7 straight games. They find themselves in a match-up against a “stronger” team (at least on paper) but who have since suffered underwhelming losses against supposedly inferior teams. The Jazz are young and chaotic, and could definitely have a shot at winning against a dysfunctional Miami squad. Yes, the Heat could lose even with Giannis and Bam.
Suggested Laki Play lineup:
Captain: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Vice Captain: Keyonte George
Key picks: Bam Adebayo, Lauri Markkanen, Darryn Peterson, Jaren Jackson Jr., Davion Mitchell
Match 2: The Memphis Grizzlies vs the Denver Nuggets (Thursday)
Ty Jerome has been producing insane numbers this season. The Grizzlies have lost three straight games now after winning their first 6 games. The Nuggets are not far behind in the standings, and this game could go either way. A Ty Jerome-Jamal Murray match-up could be interesting.
Suggested Laki Play lineup:
Captain: Nikola Jokic
Vice Captain: Ty Jerome
Key picks: Cam Boozer, Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, Cedric Coward, Isaiah Stewart
Match 3: The Chicago Bulls vs the San Antonio Spurs (Thursday)
Caleb Wilson is one of the standouts in this year’s rookie class, and his numbers speak for himself. The Spurs will probably dominate this game as the Bulls are nowhere near the firepower the Spurs have, but it would be interesting to see how Wilson fares against a Wembanyama-led defense.
Suggested Laki Play lineup:
Captain: Victor Wembanyama
Vice Captain: Caleb Wilson
Key picks: Norman Powell, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, De’Aaron Fox, Matas Buzelis
Match 4: The San Antonio Spurs vs the Golden State Warriors (Saturday)
The Spurs will have won 9 straight by the time this contest happens, and it would be cool to see if the Golden State boys can hold their own against an elite team. The Dubs are currently on a 7-game win streak on account of Steph Curry being Steph, and rookie sensation Yaxel Lendeborg, who has since turned out to be a potential franchise player despite being drafted at 23.
Suggested Laki Play lineup:
Captain: Victor Wembanyama
Vice Captain: Steph Curry
Key picks: Yaxel Lendeborg, Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, De’Aaron Fox, Brandin Podziemski
