Dunkest NBA Fantasy Tips
Here you’ll find our tips, position by position, to tackle the best way Round 41 of NBA Dunkest Fantasy Basketball.
Round 41, Turn 1
Scottie Barnes vs MIN
Scottie Barnes is our pick for the captain role in T1: he contributes across all stats and has the potential to approach a triple-double. In the last three outings, the Timberwolves have been among the least effective defenses against forwards, which further boosts his appeal.
Round 41, Turn 2
Paolo Banchero vs BKN
For Turn 2, we’re backing Paolo Banchero: the season matchup, although aided by overtime, gave us a 40 FPT performance. That was about a month ago, and since then Banchero has accumulated more minutes, showing greater consistency. He could be a key factor for the Magic and, by extension, a valuable asset for our fantasy teams.
Round 41, Turn 3
Andrew Nembhard @ MIL
We close G41 with the Pacers’ player, who will face the Bucks, probably in the first game without Giannis. In G40, he struggled against the Rockets, but against Milwaukee, the situation changes completely. This time, he has a good chance to deliver a very interesting score.
