With six games on tonight’s slate, let’s get into some of the Multiplier plays over on SuperDraft.

Guard

Devin Booker, Phoenix Suns (1.25x) – As of this writing, this slate looks like one of the most unique that we’ve seen in weeks on SuperDraft. Absent news that we will almost assuredly get between now and lock, there aren’t a ton of plays standing out with elevated multipliers. So we start with Booker, who gets a road matchup north of the border tonight against the Raptors. The Suns are four-point road favorites in a game that features the second-highest projected total on the slate. Booker has been great lately, both from a real basketball standpoint and a daily fantasy one. He’s scored fewer than 22 real points just once in his last seven games and boasts a 31.9% usage rate on the season. His high floor/ceiling combo in a game that has all the makings of a high-scoring back-and-forth contest makes him my favorite play in this range at guard.

D’Angelo Russell, Minnesota Timberwolves (1.3x) – The 1.2x-1.4x range has a lot of palatable options, but Russell stands out to me in a game against the Pelicans that has the highest projected total on the slate. He’s been fantastic of late, topping 49.25 SuperDraft points in three of his last four outings. The Wolves are 3.5-point road favorites and are expected to have all of their normal rotation players available with Patrick Beverley probable. That piece of news is the only thing holding Russell back from being my favorite play at the position. He’s recorded double-doubles with assists in four of his last five games (dating back to before his stint in the health and safety protocols), and Beverley’s return will take Russell off the ball in the starting lineup. But Russell still has a 26.2% usage rate on the season and the upside to put up an optimal score against a team like New Orleans, so I still have a lot of interest in getting to Russell in this multiplier range. I prefer him to his teammate Anthony Edwards at a slightly higher multiplier.

Forward

Pascal Siakam, Toronto Raptors (1.2x) – Sticking with the theme of lower-multiplier recommendations for this slate, Siakam is my favorite way to get some exposure to Toronto in a fairly difficult matchup against the Suns. Siakam has been starting and playing mostly center over the last few games, but with Gary Trent being late scratched on Sunday we saw Khem Birch enter the starting five. Trent is questionable as of this writing, but if he’s out again I think it actually boosts Siakam. Being able to avoid the matchup with DeAndre Ayton to start each half should be beneficial in the half-court but could take away from his rebounding opportunities. Bottom line is, we should get around 40 minutes (he hasn’t played fewer than 38.5 minutes in six of his last seven games) from Siakam tonight and I think he’s a strong play regardless of Trent being in or not. 

DeMar DeRozan, Chicago Bulls (1.25x) – Bulls all-star roulette has been a game that I’ve tried to avoid over the last few weeks as they continue to add players back to their normal rotation from both the health and safety protocols and injured list. But with the way this slate is shaping up, I think it’s worth it to take some shots on the big names out of Chicago. The one that stands out to me is DeRozan, who has been slightly more stable as a fantasy asset at his multiplier compared to the likes of Zach LaVine, Nikola Vucevic, and Lonzo Ball. After a three-game stretch of nearly 29 points per game to start the new year, DeRozan has had two relatively down games in a row. But the shot attempts and assist opportunities haven’t wavered, and with his peripheral stats projections a bit higher than LaVine’s at the same multiplier, give me DeMar as my priority play from the Bulls – who have the highest implied team total on the slate.

Center

Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets (1x) – Surprise surprise, the reigning MVP retains his crown at the center spot in this article once again. For most of you who have read through this article a time or two this season, this is just repetitive. But if you’re new to the world of Nikola Jokic, welcome in! He’s by far the most valuable fantasy asset in the NBA, and even at his 1x floor multiplier, we should expect 60 SuperDraft points. Jokic has topped 56.5 SuperDraft points in seven of his last eight games with the lone outlier being a 43.25 SuperDraft point performance that he recorded in just 25 minutes in a blowout of the Rockets. He’s as safe a play as there is and I’m fine eating the chalk in tournaments. There are a few other options sitting right above him in terms of multiplier that are acceptable pivots for GPPs, but as things stand now Jokic is the first player I’m clicking into a SuperDraft lineup tonight against the Clippers. I’ll try to find other spots to get different if I’m just running one lineup.
