NBA Fantasy Captain Picks
Are you unsure who to make captain for the Dunkest round? Here are our tips, one for each turn.
Centers
Mark Williams (Phoenix Suns, 11.3 cr)
The Phoenix Suns seem to be managing Mark Williams in the best possible way, and he is repaying them with performances that meet expectations, including a 42.8 FPT against the Trail Blazers. In the next round, he will face the Warriors, who, with issues in the paint and the possible departure of Draymond Green, will likely be a very beatable opponent.
Jalen Smith (Chicago Bulls, 8.3 cr)
Vucevic’s trade opens the door for Jalen Smith, who was already performing well this season, averaging around 10 points and 7 rebounds in 20 minutes. With more playing time and responsibility, his stats can only improve, and given the lack of other players in his position for the Bulls, he becomes a must-pick, especially considering his low cost, for this G41.
Forwards
Dillon Brooks (Phoenix Suns, 10.1 cr)
After his recent comments about active players running podcasts, showing little love for them, Dillon Brooks is set to clash – trade permitting – against Green and the Golden State Warriors. In the two previous encounters this season, he scored over 20 points and grabbed at least 5 rebounds in each game, and this match could be the right one to reach 30 in both points and FPT.
Saddiq Bey (New Orleans Pelicans, 10.0 cr)
In a team that relies on individual stars like Zion and Murphy, Saddiq Bey is managing to stand out with important performances. After several games over 40 FPT, he had a drop against Charlotte, from which we expect him to bounce back immediately against the Bucks, who don’t have the tools to contain the Pelicans’ scoring trio.
Guards
Nickeil Alexander-Walker (Atlanta Hawks, 10.9 cr)
The Utah Jazz have the fourth-worst defense in the league against guards, and George’s questionable status, along with a roster weakened by trades, will impact the game significantly. The Hawks, however, already settled after Young’s trade, will find fertile ground to increase their win record, and Walker will have the perfect opportunity to reach double digits in both assists and points.
Pelle Larson (Miami Heat, 7.2 cr)
With Norman Powell still sidelined, Pelle Larson is yet another functional player highlighted by the Heat system and coach Spoelstra. In the last 4 games, he’s averaging 27.9 FPT with strong stats, and at a cost just above the bottom-tier limit, he’s an opportunity worth seizing without hesitation.
Coach
Tiago Splitter (Portland Trail Blazers, 4.7 cr)
Tiago Splitter is an interesting pick this round: the matchup between the Blazers and Grizzlies, after yesterday’s trades, clearly favors Portland. Memphis has started a deep rebuild, looking more toward the future than the present, while the Blazers can still play their cards to stay in the play-in race and keep their playoff hopes alive.
