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

Guard

Dejounte Murray, San Antonio Spurs (1.1x score multiplier) – After weeks of impressive fantasy performances, Murray finally had somewhat of a let-down performance Tuesday night against New York. Hopefully the recent underwhelming performance combined with the other star players on this short three-game slate keep the field off Murray, because he’s in a great spot against Denver Thursday. The Spurs are actually favored in this game — not a common occurrence this season — and Murray getting full minutes on this short slate is something we should be very interested in buying into. Tuesday’s 15/7/7 stat line broke a seven-game streak of double doubles for Murray, who also had a triple double in that run. His floor is extremely safe, and the ceiling is massive. With the extra 10% we get on his fantasy output on SuperDraft, he’s a priority for me on this short slate. 

Donovan Mitchell, Utah Jazz (1.2x) – The last time we saw these teams meet a few weeks back, the 76ers were shorthanded and the Jazz embarrassed them on national television. The result limited Mitchell’s minutes on that night, and this rematch is expected to remain much closer with the Jazz 3.5-point favorites on the road as of this writing. Mitchell has been on an absolute tear of late, averaging nearly 34 points per game over his last four. His peripherals have left a lot to be desired though, with no more than nine combined rebounds and assists in that span, and that has kept him from some slate breaking performances. We’ve discussed Mitchell’s elevated usage multiple times in this article so far this season, and nothing has changed since we last checked in. The Jazz guard is still hovering around his career high mark through 23 games with a 33.2% usage and at his 1.2x multiplier is something we should target heavily.

Forward

Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers (1.05x) – It’s a tough matchup on paper here for the 76ers center, but history shows that Embiid doesn’t struggle too badly from a fantasy perspective against Rudy Gobert. In fact, the last time these two teams met (albeit in overtime) Embiid finished with 40 points, 19 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and a steal. If we expand that sample a bit further, Embiid has averaged 26 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists in the five games he has played against Gobert since the beginning of the 2018-19 season. With his forward eligibility persisting on SuperDraft, he is a staple for me at the position when building lineups on this short slate. 

Dillon Brooks, Memphis Grizzlies (1.4x) – I’ve been on this Brooks train for a while now, and I wouldn’t fault anyone for jumping off back at the last station. First the usage was massive, but either the shots weren’t falling or his minutes were limited due to foul trouble or blowout. Now things have shifted a bit over the last three games, with the minutes being very solid even through some more foul trouble but the usage dipping below 30% in that span. I still believe that sometime soon it’s all going to come together for Brooks, and he will break a slate at his multiplier with Morant sidelined. No better time to make him a priority than a short three-game slate where a big game from Brooks at his 1.4x multiplier could sink you in tournaments if you don’t have him. As a note, it’s a good idea in general to have some Memphis shares especially if you’re running multiple lineups. The likes of Tyus Jones (1.65x), Desmond Bane (1.45x) and Jaren Jackson (1.35x) stand out as the other top options from the Grizzlies.

Center

Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets (1x) – The case for playing Jokic, especially on a three-game slate, doesn’t have to be a tough one. The reigning MVP is carrying the decimated Nuggets roster on his back right now, and that won’t change against the Spurs. Jakob Poeltl is a fine defender in his own right, but there’s not a single player or team in the league that can deny Jokic his fantasy points right now. Over his last five games, his “worst” output was an 18/15/7/1 line against the Heat in a nine-point road victory. He’s also been a menace to San Antonio over the last few years, averaging 30 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists over his last four matchups against the Spurs. Take your 50-plus fantasy points and move on at the center position. If you want to get different in tournaments or multiple lineups, I don’t hate rostering Rudy Gobert at his 1.2x multiplier, but Jokic is the clear priority.
