Dunkest NBA Fantasy Tips, R91: A two-faced Bridges

Everything you need for Dunkest NBA Round 91 (it’s free and playable on iOS, Android, and the web).

From position-by-position NBA fantasy basketball tips to injury updates and projected lineups, here’s a ready-to-use kit with all the tools you need to tackle the day like a pro.

The NBA Playoffs 2026 have started., and we won’t leave you alone. Dunkest’s NBA Fantasy Basketball will continue through the Play-In and Playoffs.

League and draft

As announced at the start of the season, the regular season and Playoffs are part of a single competition. This means each league and draft can decide whether to stop or continue all the way through the Finals.

Here are the available options for the 2026 NBA Playoffs:

• Continue with your current team in the same league until the end of the Playoffs
• Create a new league/draft while keeping your current team and accumulated credits
• Create a new league starting from scratch, with a new team and fewer credits than you currently have

Average scores and teams not on the schedule

• Teams that are on the schedule but marked as resting will receive their average score (including all players on the roster, injured ones as well, plus the coach). This is designed to optimize the NBA calendar as much as possible. As in the regular season, players who receive an average score due to scheduling reasons will NOT get the 1.5x captain bonus if selected as captain.

• Teams NOT on the schedule (players, coaches, and unavailable players) will NOT be considered “resting teams” and will NOT receive an average score, but instead 0 points. These are teams that have been eliminated or have already qualified and are waiting for their next Playoff opponent.

NBA Fantasy Captain Picks

Are you unsure who to make captain for the Dunkest round? Here are our tips, one for each turn.

Centers

Mitchell Robinson (New York Knicks, 6.2 cr)

With Karl-Anthony Towns constantly having to manage his foul trouble – he played fewer than 26 minutes in the last game – the possibility of Robinson stepping in and earning a larger role is always present. His track record against the Spurs has not been particularly impressive, but we are talking about a player with all the tools needed to trouble San Antonio in the paint and pile up stats in a hurry.

Forwards

Julian Champagnie (San Antonio Spurs, 9.7 cr)

After posting a double-double in Game 1, Champagnie’s impact – particularly on the glass – has been sorely missed by the Spurs in the following games. In a must-win Game 5, where San Antonio will need to empty the tank to keep its season alive, we expect a player with his skill set to step up and return to the 30+ FPT range.

Mikal Bridges (New York Knicks, 9.5 cr)

Bridges’ two-sided nature is reflected in his playing time as well: around 40 minutes in an inspired Game 2, compared to just 28 minutes throughout the rest of the series. After two highly productive playoff rounds, a statistical regression is perfectly normal, but we expect him to showcase his talent once again in a game as crucial as this one.

Guards

Devin Vassell (San Antonio Spurs, 9.9 cr)

It is no coincidence that Devin Vassell is the only Spurs player currently listed as “on fire.” While several teammates have cooled off, he has maintained his level and become extremely valuable to the team’s success. Efficient and composed in his execution, he has averaged 23.9 FPT, 14 points and 6.8 rebounds against the Knicks while shooting 51.1% from the field and 44.1% from beyond the arc.

Jose Alvarado (New York Knicks, 4.1 cr)

With a salary close to the minimum, Alvarado continues to emerge from under the radar, earning more trust, more minutes and increasing statistical production. In Game 4, he shot 75% from the field and 66.7% from three-point range. In a win-or-go-home environment, a player with his characteristics becomes extremely valuable for disrupting the opponent’s rhythm. It would not surprise us to see him exceed the 20-minute mark for the first time.

Coach

Mitch Johnson (San Antonio Spurs, 11.5 cr)

Coach Johnson and the Spurs have been backed into a corner, and situations like these are always dangerous for the opposing side. With nothing left to lose and the support of their home crowd behind them, we expect Wembanyama and company to find a way to force a victory in Game 5.
