New York Knicks vs Houston Rockets Obvious Starts
Jalen Brunson-PG ($9,500 DK/ $9,900 FD)
The guard is getting used to the new rotation and new players after a brief time on the bench due to injury. However, when healthy, he is one of the best in the league. At 44.5 FPPG and against this Houston Rockets team, he needs to be in your lineup tonight!
Donte DiVincenzo-SG/SF ($8,000 DK/$7,800 FD)
Another product out of Villanova, he is on a hot streak lately! DiVincenzo has averaged 40.9 fantasy points over the last ten days as of late. Against a Houston Rockets roster that is good at defending the three, he may slow down tonight, but as of late it hasn’t mattered. Until he slows down, you need to keep playing him in your lineup!
New York Knicks vs Houston Rockets Start ‘Em
Jalen Green– PG/SG ($7,900 DK/$8,100 FD)
Former #2 overall pick Green out of the G-League comes into tonight off a great playing night. He recorded his first career triple-double. His stat line included 26 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists. Although another night with those numbers is unlikely, he can still flirt with close to that stat line tonight.
Bojan Bogdanovic– SF/PF ($6,300 DK/ $5,900 FD)
Since being acquired, Bogdanovic has come off the bench. However, on the season he’s averaging 30.2 FPPG. Especially with some players questionable to play tonight, he’ll likely see an increased role. Certainly, he’ll play for 30+ minutes, and if he gets hot shooting the ball, at his value, it’s an easy choice.
Sit ‘Em
Alperen Sengun-C ($9,000 DK/$9,000 FD)
If Sengun was healthy he’d be a lock of the day. But he is dealing with a back injury. Unfortunately for the Houston Rockets, he may not get a chance to showcase himself against the New York Knicks. Therefore, because even if he plays he’ll likely be limited it’s too risky to play him.
New York Knicks vs Houston Rockets Lock of the Day
Jabari Smith Jr.– PF ($6,000 DK/ $6,800 FD)
Smith is coming off a solid 39.5 fantasy night. Additionally, he averages 29.1 FPPG. Considering some of the players who will be limited or out, he’ll see plenty of chances. Especially against some smaller defenders on switches, you can expect him to have a good individual night against the New York Knicks.
