Overview
- FantasyPros pegs Sacramento–Miami (239) and Atlanta–Washington (236) as the top totals, with Milwaukee–Detroit (-12.5) and Clippers–Timberwolves (-11) presenting the clearest blowout risk.
- Cade Cunningham is promoted as a core option after a bounce-back scoring night, with secure usage driving his ceiling against Milwaukee.
- Jalen Johnson enters off a triple-double and draws a favorable matchup versus a Wizards defense that has recently yielded the most fantasy production to power forwards.
- Value and GPP targets highlighted for Saturday include Marvin Bagley III with Washington short-handed, Kel'el Ware against a center-friendly Kings defense, Malik Monk with Dennis Schroder out, and mid-range appeal for Kyle Kuzma with Milwaukee thin up front.
- Friday’s 12-game slate featured SportsLine’s Bobby Portis pick with a Kevin Porter Jr. stack, while ESPN spotlighted Miami–Orlando as the highest total at 241.5 and tracked key statuses such as Paolo Banchero’s upgrade to questionable and Luka Dončić’s potential absence.
