Dunkest NBA Fantasy Tips, R8: for the first time with DeMar DeRozan
Dunkest NBA Fantasy Tips: The 5 Must-Have Players for Round 8 and Key Insights

Everything you need for Round 8 of Dunkest NBA Fantasy. From fantasy basketball tips, position by position:
Guards
Coby White (Chicago Bulls, 10.5 cr)
The 2000-born player quickly bounced back against Minnesota after his worst performance of the season, and we’re ready to keep the faith. Atlanta certainly doesn’t have a high-level defense on the perimeter. Plus, the Hawks will be playing a back-to-back. I see no reason not to bet on Coby’s talent at T2.
Jalen Suggs (Orlando Magic, 10.0 cr)
There’s no shortage of key absences for both the Magic and the Pelicans, with both teams missing important players. More responsibility falls on the versatile Suggs, who has stood out in the early part of the season on the offensive end, contributing with some tempting PDKs.
Forwards
DeMar DeRozan (Sacramento Kings, 13.6 cr)
We didn’t have high Dunkest expectations for the former Raptors player, but DeMar, in these first 7 games, has shown he’s aiming for a 40-piece. The matchup against James Harden’s Clippers is too tempting to pass up.
Santi Aldama (Memphis Grizzlies, 9.0 cr)
The Spaniard with the Grizzlies alternates between solid performances and moments of struggle. We’re counting on him to lead the wing position against the Wizards, who are having an up-and-down season. The 23-year-old has already recorded a double-double three times, and the fourth is just around the corner.
Center
Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves, 14.2 cr)
The French player is almost a guarantee for Dunkest. He only struggles when forced to step out of his comfort zone, the paint, but with Ayton, he faces no risks. The 32-year-old continues to rack up numbers, averaging a double-double for yet another year. His consistency is crucial for us fantasy coaches.
Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers, 12.7 cr)
Charlotte is plagued by injuries and has limited options in the paint due to the injuries of Richards and Williams. The adapted Grant Williams will have little chance of containing the Pacers’ veteran, who is aiming for his third consecutive double-double.
Coach
Chris Finch (Minnesota Timberwolves, 10.5 cr)
The Twolves are sailing smoothly. Although they’re still finding the right balance with the new roster, the progress is already clear. Portland doesn’t scare them at all, and Finch is aiming to give his fans a winning streak, something they haven’t had since the third game of the season.
