Overview
- Wednesday guidance identified Nikola Jokic as a top target versus the Pelicans after triple-doubles in his first three games and a favorable center matchup.
- Austin Reaves drew strong DFS interest with Luka Doncic sidelined, reflecting a spike in usage and elite recent production.
- Devin Booker was framed as a cash-game anchor with Jalen Green out and Dillon Brooks ruled out against Memphis in a pace-up spot.
- SportsLine’s Mike McClure spotlighted Pascal Siakam as a core play while he fills a larger role in Tyrese Haliburton’s absence.
- Thursday recommendations pivot to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Giannis Antetokounmpo, with Hartenstein projected for 30-plus minutes and a likely double-double as a center value.
