Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans Obvious Starts
Zion Williamson – PF ($ 14,700 DK)
Williamson is someone who can give you points on any given night. He’s been mostly healthy and continues to be a matchup nightmare. At 39.7 fantasy points per game, it seems not only obvious but really should go without saying to include the star from the New Orleans Pelicans against the Phoenix Suns tonight.
Devin Booker – PG/SG ($ 15,000 DK)
Booker is someone who can go off on any given night. Even if Kevin Durant is having a great outing, you can expect him to match or even go over Durant’s production. Therefore, you need to include him in this matchup between the Phoenix Suns and the New Orleans Pelicans.
Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans Obvious Starts
Kevin Durant – PF ($15,600 DK)
Speaking of Durant from earlier, he too is someone who can get you great fantasy production. At 48.0 fantasy points per game, even with his steep price, it’s something that you need to not only consider but just go forward with. The Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans game could end up being a high-scoring affair, but even if it isn’t, he’s going to get you nice fantasy value.
Trey Murphy III – SG/SF ($11,100 DK)
At 26.9 FPPG he’s someone who is going to benefit from Ingram not being able to play. Additionally, his current average production is his floor. Especially against what can be a poor Phoenix Suns defense, this is one avenue that the New Orleans Pelicans will be able to at least score and try to keep up with even if they end up losing the game.
Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans Sit ‘Em
Jusuf Nurkic – C ($11,400 DK)
Nurkic will have his hands full against the frontcourt of the Pelicans. This could be a matchup that we see played to a stalemate. Both centers are capable of having big nights in this game, but it can also be risky playing either of them. In terms of scoring, you know that they are limited. However, their only remaining hope is that they have a big night rebounding the basketball. But if you don’t see that as a possibility, then this is a stay-away play.
Phoenix Suns vs New Orleans Pelicans Lock of the Day
CJ McCollum – PG ($13,200 DK)
McCollum is going to see plenty of action and has had an increased role as of late. Again, they are playing a Phoenix Suns side that is trying to figure things out defensively. The guard will have a nice fantasy night for you while playing for the New Orleans Pelicans.
