With nine games on Tuesday’s slate, let’s get into some of the multiplier plays over on SuperDraft.

Guard

James Harden, Brooklyn Nets (1x) – The Nets are home, and we all know what that means. With Kyrie Irving out due to his vaccination status, we’ll look to Harden as our top floor multiplier play. Kevin Durant remains out as well with his knee issue, and without both Irving and Durant this season, Harden has a 34.6% usage rate in a 482-minute sample. The matchup against the Lakers is not something we should shy away from, and Harden has been in great fantasy form of late, scoring 62 or more SuperDraft points in four of his last seven games. Don’t overthink things at the top of the guard position, if you’re looking for a player around the multiplier floor, roster Harden and move on.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker (1.75x) and Jose Alvarado (2x), New Orleans Pelicans – The Pelicans turned the slate on its head late Tuesday morning, announcing that Jonas Valanciunas, Brandon Ingram, Devonte’ Graham and Josh Hart will all miss Tuesday’s second half of the back-to-back set. Barring some late additions from their G-League affiliate, the options of which are limited as some of their G-League players have entered the health and protocols as of Monday, New Orleans will have nine players available. Alexander-Walker and Alvarado will command the majority of the backcourt minutes, and both guys are fantastic options on this slate. Alexander-Walker is the more talented player on paper and is who I would look to first. But I have no issue rostering Alvarado for the ceiling 2x multiplier as the rookie has shown the fantasy upside to end up optimal if he gets the time that he’s projected to in this one. I’m also not against stacking the two, especially if you’re running multiple lineups on SuperDraft, but in one lineup I’m likely choosing just one given the fact there are eight other games on the slate and I have Pelicans interest at other positions as well.

Forward

Pascal Siakam, Toronto Raptors (1.2x) – There are more than a few palatable options up top at forward, but Siakam stands out as my favorite in this range. The matchup against the Hornets is one of the best in the league to attack from a fantasy standpoint and although the Raptors are towards the middle of the pack in terms of implied team total tonight, it’s the minutes that I just can’t shy away from here. Coach Nick Nurse loves running the tightest rotation in basketball, somehow taking over that moniker from Tom Thibodeau in New York, and Siakam has seen 38.5 minutes or more in nine of his last 10 games. We also got news while I’m writing this that Fred VanVleet is questionable for this one, and with VanVleet off the court this season Siakam has seen a 2.2% usage increase. I love rostering Siakam either way for the floor/ceiling combo against the Hornets. 

Furkan Korkmaz, Philadelphia 76ers (1.8x) – Purely a minutes play at this juncture, Korkmaz has recorded 36.5 and 39 minutes in his last two games. The sharpshooting Turkish wing has been hit or miss with his fantasy production, but you won’t find another player at forward with this high of a multiplier who projects for as many minutes as Korkmaz tonight. It’s important to note there is one piece of news we are waiting on before we can slot him in with this much confidence. The Sixers are still without Seth Curry, Danny Green and Shake Milton, but Matisse Thybulle is listed as questionable with his shoulder sprain. If he is active, it would make me look elsewhere in one lineup. The matchup will be juicy regardless, as the Sixers are now 11-point home favorites against the shorthanded Pelicans as of this writing, but I want Thybulle to rest just one more night so we can use Korkmaz as a run back to our Pelicans exposure.

Center

Willy Hernangomez, New Orleans Pelicans (2x) – As I mentioned at guard, I have some interest in getting to Pelicans at other positions. Look no further than Willy Hernangomez, who has seen his SuperDraft multiplier fall back to the 2x ceiling after being relegated to third string in favor of Jaxson Hayes over the last few weeks. I expect Hernangomez to start here, and while the matchup against Joel Embiid is about as tough as they come, the fantasy production for Willy is just too good to pass up at 2x. He hasn’t played in a game since January 3^rd but looking at that last stretch when he was in the rotation, Hernangomez averaged 1.03 SuperDraft points per minute in games from Dec. 21 to Jan. 3. At 2x, he is my favorite way to attack the center position, and with this game tipping off right at main slate lock we will get the starting news and be able to pivot off if we see fit after the starting lineup is released.
