Daily Fantasy Week 4: The Injury Bug is Out
A lot of marquee players are out, but there is plenty of game in week 4 of NBA.
Match 1: The Cleveland Cavaliers at the Miami Heat
The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to extend their 4-game win streak early in the season. The Heat have won their last 2 assignments, and they will be tested by a good Cavaliers team. Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley are stat monsters–producing 30 and 20 points per game. The Heat have been bitten by the injury bug—Bam Adebayo is out, Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier are both out as well. It will be an interesting match-up, to say the least.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Donovan Mitchell
Vice Captain: Evan Mobley
Key picks: Bam Adebayo, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jaquez Jr.
Match 2: The Milwaukee Bucks at the Dallas Mavericks
Anthony Davis is injured again–he missed the last 5 games as the Mavericks slid to the bottom of the Western Conference. Kyrie is not returning anytime soon, Dereck Lively II is out, Daniel Gafford is out as well. You know things are bad when the top scorer is PJ Washington with 15 a game, followed by Cooper Flagg with 14 a game. Can they even stand a chance against the Greek Freak with almost no serviceable big men on the roster?
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Vice Captain: P.J. Washington / Cooper Flagg
Key picks: Myles Turner, Ryan Rollins, Max Christie
Match 3: The Memphis Grizzlies at the New York Knicks
The Knicks have won their last 4 games and are looking to extend the streak against the troubled Memphis Grizzlies. Jalen Brunson has been brilliant so far, and Karl Anthony Towns has been a beast. OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges have been reliable scorers too. The Memphis Grizzlies have Ja and Jaren Jackson Jr as their main guys–but it seems like Ja might have to be out of the team eventually. The rumors that have been swirling around Ja and his one-game suspension in the context of a trade are too loud to ignore.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Jalen Brunson
Vice Captain: Karl Anthony Towns
Key picks: Mikal Bridges, Ja Morant, OG Anunoby, Jaren Jackson Jr.
Match 4: The Chicago Bulls at the Detroit Pistons
Who would have thought that Josh Giddey would average an almost trip-dub (21 pts, 9 rebounds, 9 assists) to start the season? The Bulls have excellent balance as it has many reliable contributors in Nikola Vucevic, Matas Buzelis, and Ayo Dosunmu. The Cade Cunningham-led Detroit Pistons will be tested by the Bulls, but will the bulls have enough to stop a trio of 25 point-10 assist Cade Cunningham, young stalwarts Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson (assuming they are all healthy)?
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Cade Cunningham
Vice Captain: Josh Giddey
Key picks: Nikola Vucevic, Ausar Thompson, Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris, Ayo Dosunmu
