Cade Cunningham will cost you a pretty penny, as he is easily the most expensive healthy option on the board. He is averaging 51.3 fantasy points per game and he should have another strong game against a 76ers team with an opponent rank of 28th. Cunningham is coming off a triple-double with 19 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds on Sunday afternoon against the Charlotte Hornets.
The Bulls are allowing 120.4 points per game (PPG), which ranks 29th in the NBA, while Chicago allows teams to hit 47.2% from the field, which is 20th in The Association.
In the most recent meeting with the Bulls on February 2nd, Cunningham went for 22 points with 15 assists, hitting 10-of-23 from the field and 2-of-6 from downtown. He also added three boards, a steal and a blocked shot in his 34 minutes.
Karl-Anthony Towns has a favorable matchup in Tuesday’s trip to Indianapolis. The Pacers have allowed 115.1 PPG to rank 21st this season, while teams are hitting 47.3% from the field, ranking 22nd. Towns has posted 50.3 fantasy points per game, which makes him a strong play, with a lower price tag and similar production to Cunningham above.
After going for 27 points and 20 rebounds on Tuesday in Toronto, he went for just nine points and nine boards on 3-of-8 shooting against Boston on Saturday, while spending most of the game in foul trouble. He should bounce back nicely against the Pacers. He scored 30 points with nine rebounds and two three-pointers on November 10th in the most recent trip to Indianapolis.
Kevin Durant also has a very favorable matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies paying a visit to Footprint Center. He has rolled up 44.8 fantasy points per game, while the Grizzlies are 29th in opponent rank. He is good for 24.5 points. four assists, three rebounds and one block per game in two games in February, while hitting a total of three triples.
The last time he faced Memphis at home was New Year’s Eve. He went for 29 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and two blocked shots on 11-of-19 shooting while adding a pair of three-pointers.
Jaren Jackson Jr. (PF, C – MEM)
The last time Jaren Jackson Jr. faced the Suns at Footprint Center he was on a heater. Jackson rolled up 38 points, more than filling the void with Ja Morant (strained right shoulder) missing that game. Keep in mind that Morant will be back, so Jackson won’t be asked to do as much.
However, it’s still hard to ignore his production against the Suns. Even with Morant, Jackson should still fare well against a team with a 26th opponent rank on a night with a limited four-game slate.
Paul George is coming off an impressive game in Milwaukee, finishing with 12 points, six assists, five rebounds, three steals and a pair of three-pointers in 29 minutes.
George has a solid matchup against a Raptors team with an opponent rank of 20. George is good for 34.4 fantasy points per game so far this season.
Pascal Siakam is averaging 22.8 points per game through five games in February, which is his best scoring month of the season. He has managed at least six rebounds in seven consecutive games while going for three or more assists in nine of the past 11 outings.
Siakam hit five three-pointers against the Clippers on Thursday. In two games against the Knicks this season, Siakam is averaging 13 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game with a pair of three-pointers.
You can’t necessarily build a Pistons stack, as they aren’t deep. Still, you’ll want to drop Jalen Duren into a handful of your lineups against the Bulls.
In that February 2nd matchup in Detroit, Duren had 21 points with 13 rebounds and four assists on 9-of-11 shooting in 30 minutes. DFS players hope it’s Groundhog Day for Duren against the boys from Chi-town.
Immanuel Quickley had a strong line on Sunday in Houston, finishing with 20 points, eight boards, three assists and a steal on 6-of-15 from the field, including three triples.
Quickley has averaged 14.7 points per game this season while doling out 5.8 assists a game with 2.1 three-pointers made per contest. At a low price, Quickley can rack up solid stats rather, uhh, quickly, when getting starter minutes.
If you’re going with a Pistons mini-stack, you’ll want a piece of Tobias Harris. He has been running hot lately, going for 20+ points in three of the past four games, averaging 21 points, 6.5 rebounds and two assists in the past two outings.
Harris had 16 points and six boards with three steals, two assists and two blocked shots in 34 minutes against the Bulls on February 2nd in their most recent matchup.
Malik Beasley came off the bench on Sunday against the Hornets, and he caught fire. He finished with 17 points on 6-of-16 shooting, including 5-of-14 from behind the arc, in 26 minutes.
That’s a similar line to what he posted against the Bulls on February 2nd — 19 points with five triples in 28 minutes.
Precious Achiuwa (PF, C – NYK)
Precious Achiuwa has been on a roller coaster ride lately, as far as his production is concerned. He went for just three points on 1-of-4 shooting in a blowout loss to Boston on Saturday.
However, in the game before that, in a favorable matchup similar to this one, Achiuwa went for 17 points, eight boards and three steals with two blocked shots in 36 minutes against Toronto.
Ochai Agbaji was in the starting lineup on Sunday in Houston, as RJ Barrett (concussion) continues to sit. Agbaji took advantage of his starting status against the Rockets, going for 11 points, five boards and two assists on 5-of-8 from the field in 32 minutes.
Agbaji won’t likely tear it up, but getting starter minutes at a low price is too tough to pass up.
