With nine games on Monday’s slate, let’s get into some of the multiplier plays over on SuperDraft.
Guard
Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz (1.2x score multiplier) – Although he hasn’t come through for us fully after targeting Mitchell multiple times over the last few weeks, there have been a variety of factors limiting Utah’s star guard game-to-game that don’t always include his on-court performance. Last time out it was actually the complete opposite, as Mitchell lost time in the blowout of the Pelicans Saturday night after putting up 21/7/7 with three stocks in just 27 minutes. I’ve been harping on his increased usage rate all season and now in a home matchup against Portland with one of the slate’s highest projected totals, I am jumping right back on the wagon. If this game remains in the balance (Utah is currently favored by seven and a half points) into the fourth quarter, a 1.2x Mitchell with his 33.4% usage rate playing mid-to-high 30’s in minutes is a guy I want in my SuperDraft lineups.
Kevin Porter, Houston Rockets (1.5x) – This game is about as meaningless as can be (unless you’re watching the tank race as closely as fans of these two teams are in late November) but there should be a ton of interest from daily fantasy managers. It’s rare to see both the Thunder and the Rockets in a game with a two-point spread, but that is what happens when two of the league’s worst get together. When you project these teams to play full minutes and not get blown out, you get some high-upside options like Porter. The Rockets will continue to be without Jalen Green tonight, opening up extra opportunities for the Houston backcourt. Porter stands out at his elevated multiplier and flashed his upside on Saturday night (albeit in overtime) against the Hornets finishing with 23 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds. At his 1.5x multiplier he is a priority in SuperDraft lineups this evening.
Forward
Luka Doncic, Dallas Mavericks (1x) – After a slow start to the season, both from a real hoops and daily fantasy standpoint, the odds-on preseason MVP favorite has gotten it going in both categories. Even after missing a week with ankle and knee ailments, Doncic has been outstanding. He is averaging near a 25-point triple double over his last five games and projects as my favorite option in the floor-multiplier range at forward with concerns about Joel Embiid’s minutes and less interest in a guy like Paul George now that his multiplier has fallen to this range as well. Dallas opened as just five-point home favorites against Cleveland, curbing any fears of an increased chance for a blowout. If you’re looking to roster a high-floor, high-ceiling option, Doncic is a great option on this nine-game slate.
Christian Wood, Houston Rockets (1.25x) – Back to Houston to fish some more fantasy goodness out of this horrendous basketball game. We talked about the game environment in Porter’s blurb, so I won’t repeat the reasons why we should have interest in this matchup. These teams have already played twice this season and Wood has been extremely productive in those games, averaging 20 points, 14 rebounds with some other peripheral stats for good measure. If I’m building multiple lineups on SuperDraft tonight, I would be likely to set a rule to include one of Wood or Porter in all of my lineups. With the uncertainty of the OKC rotation even in a close game, and their multipliers still slightly elevated from the recent absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, I don’t find it necessary to run it back with a Thunder player.

Center
Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets (1x) – This is the third article in a row I believe that I have written up a questionable Jokic. After assuming he’d return once he shed the wrist brace in practice, I’m back on the “I think he plays” train here. If the reigning MVP does in fact suit up against the Heat tonight, it’s hard to keep him out of your lineups even at his floor multiplier. Nobody in the NBA can currently produce like Jokic over such a large minutes sample, and with Michael Porter out for the season, the massive production should be here to stay. For reference Jokic hasn’t played since Nov. 18, but in the five games before his wrist injury he had amassed 140 points, 69 rebounds and 42 assists in just 168 minutes. With a floor in the low 50’s and possible low ownership given his injury designation, I’m all about rostering the Joker at center. If he does end up out, you can pivot your center spot to a 1.1x Karl-Anthony Towns, whose game tips off a half-hour past Denver and Miami.
