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

Guard

Russell Westbrook, Los Angeles Lakers (1.1x score multiplier) – The Lakers continue their lengthy homestand against the visiting Thunder. After a slow start to the season, Westbrook hasn’t quite caught up to the production that we had gotten so used to over the past few seasons, but the returns from the past five games are encouraging. The former MVP has 20 or more shot attempts in four of the past five games and has played no less than 34 minutes in each. Even in a matchup against the lowly Thunder, it’s hard for me to see the Lakers being up by enough against any team at this point of the season for Westbrook to lose minutes to a blowout. For what it’s worth, even though I expect him to play, LeBron James is listed questionable and if he were to sit it would make Westbrook (and likely Anthony Davis) must-roster type plays for me on this slate.

Kevin Porter, Houston Rockets (1.45x) – Houston competed well out in Los Angeles in their last two games but couldn’t quite come away with a win in either contest. The Rockets are playing their young up-and-coming players a ton of minutes to start the season and Porter has been soaking them up at the point guard spot. He played 36 and 40 minutes in those two games against the Lakers, neither of which went to overtime. He’s shot the ball poorly over the first two weeks, but I expect him to improve as the schedule progresses. It’s not the best matchup heading into Phoenix for a date with Chris Paul defense, but the minutes are just too good for me to pass up here at this elevated multiplier. As long as he avoids foul trouble or a freak injury, we should see 36-plus minutes from the Rockets young point guard and that’s upside I want shares of especially if I’m running multiple lineups.

Forward

Jimmy Butler, Miami Heat (1.1x) – I’m not so sure about the validity of “Heat Culture,” but Miami sure has things rolling to start the season. The biggest factor behind their smoldering 6 -1 start to the season is Butler, who has been doing a little bit of everything on both ends of the floor. Thursday, they’ll host the visiting Celtics, who have been an absolute sieve on defense in the first two weeks of the regular season giving up the second most points per game. Miami is currently six-point favorites and with this game projected to stay competitive, I like going back to Butler even with his multiplier shrinking from recent slates. His rebound and assist rates are slightly down from what we’ve seen in his previous Miami seasons, indicating to me that he still has some room for improvement on the great output we’ve already gotten from him through seven games. I’m also not opposed to rostering Butler’s teammate Bam Adebayo at 1.2x. He carries a nice upside as well, and you could play them both together if you want to stack the stars from this game. But if I’m forced to choose between the two, I’ll take Butler. 

Christian Wood, Houston Rockets (1.2x) – The Rockets have once again listed Daniel Theis as questionable, and when he sat out in Houston’s last game it resulted in a season-high 37 minutes for Wood. Coming off his massive 26-point 16-rebound performance, Wood will face a Phoenix frontcourt that could be without Deandre Ayton. I’m OK if you roster Wood if both Ayton and Theis play for their respective teams, but if those two end up missing another game here it’s near impossible for me (barring other unforeseen inactives) to not roster Wood if I’m only running one lineup. 35-plus minutes against JaVale McGee and Frank Kaminsky? Sign me up.

Center

Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers (1x) – While the 76ers big man didn’t quite get to the top of the fantasy point leaderboards Wednesday night against the Bulls, there was a lot of encouraging signs that should make you want to go back to him here. First of all, Embiid had a massive usage rate of 36.5%, a number that I think we could see hover around the 40% mark as long as Tobias Harris and Ben Simmons remain out. Secondly, his 34 minutes were a season high, an encouraging sign given that Andre Drummond has stifled the minutes upside for Embiid thus far. 18 points was a bit of a letdown as he shot well below his averages, but Embiid neared a triple-double with nine rebounds and seven assists. As long as he is active for this back-to-back against the Pistons, we should consider him a priority play on this slate. As an extra cookie, Embiid has forward eligibility on SuperDraft giving you extra flexibility when building your lineups. I wish the Pistons frontcourt the best of luck trying to stop Embiid (hint: they won’t).
