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

Guard

Chris Paul, Phoenix Suns (1.15x score multiplier) – This is the most important day of the NBA DFS year in terms of keeping up with the news. As we inch toward the 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, there will likely be multiple players moved that not only shift the landscape of the NBA but dictate our priorities on this slate as well. For now, we can take a look at some of the standout plays as things stand in the morning hours and we’ll start with the future Hall of Famer. An NBA Finals rematch on deadline day? Yes please. The Suns play host to the Bucks and are currently 4-point home favorites. Paul has been highlighted in this article multiple times over the last three weeks or so, and his stellar play has continued throughout, averaging 50 SuperDraft points per game over his last 11 outings. Over that span, the All-Star point guard has posted a 21.6% usage rate and a massive 43.9% assist rate, both increases on his season-long rates. With this game possessing the highest implied total on the slate and the Suns currently sitting as four-point home favorites, I like getting to Chris Paul as my favorite Phoenix fantasy asset and as of now think it’s the best game to stack multiple “studs.” I have no problem if you prefer his backcourt-mate Devin Booker, but I’m siding with the scorching hot fantasy hand of Paul if I must choose between the two. 

Kyrie Irving, Brooklyn Nets (1.2x) – The Nets hit the road and the biggest question (which may be answered by the time you’re reading this) is whether James Harden will still be a member of the team. Luckily for our fantasy purposes, Harden is ruled out of Thursday’s game already, so we have a solo Kyrie Irving piloting the Brooklyn offense. Irving has turned in some uninspiring performances in similar situations this season, but I can’t deny how well he projects at this point of the day. In the 139 minutes he has spent without Harden, Kevin Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge on the court this season, he has a 33.1% usage rate and a 35% assist rate, increases of 4.2% and 13.3% respectively. There are clearly some other good options up top at guard: the aforementioned Paul, his teammate Devin Booker in the same matchup, and the young phenom Luka Doncic sitting at the 1x floor. But Irving getting a 20% boost to his fantasy points on SuperDraft stands out as a priority to me here, in a game that the shorthanded Nets are only 3-point underdogs. 

Forward

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks (1x) – The reigning NBA Finals MVP in a competitive game with the highest implied total on the slate? Sign me up. But if you need a bit more convincing, perhaps you may be interested in his 35.4% usage rate, his 32.1% assist rate and 18.4% rebound rate. Point is, Giannis has the highest floor/ceiling combo on the slate if we take away multipliers, and even if we factor in the multipliers for the rest of the available players on the slate, I’m not sure many of them pass the Greek Freak in either category. Antetokounmpo has averaged 64 SuperDraft points over his last five games (and only exceeded 31 minutes in two of those five), and he projects just a touch under that number for me as of this writing. As more potential value opens with trades and injury news this afternoon, Antetokounmpo is the last of these “star-caliber” players that I’m moving off in favor of any shiny new toys that become available. 

Jonathan Kuminga, Golden State Warriors (2x) – Taking a shot on a value here since we don’t have a ton of actionable news as of this writing. The Warriors sat Klay Thompson Wednesday night in the blowout loss to the Jazz. While Thompson returns, Otto Porter will sit out of Thursday’s second leg of the back-to-back set. With Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and Porter out, there is just one more piece of news yet to drop that will open the door for us to roster Kuminga. Nemanja Bjelica has missed the past six games with back issues and did not even travel with the team for the Monday/Wednesday road trip. We have yet to receive the Warriors injury report for this game, given they’re on the back-to-back, but if Bjelica sits again then there should be a significant (think upper-20s) minutes share for the rookie. At his 2x multiplier I would have a lot of GPP interest in rostering Kuminga against the lowly Knicks if Bjelica is out.

Center

Alperen Sengun, Houston Rockets (1.75x) – Those familiar with my love for the Turkish rookie center will know how pleased I am to be able to write a Sengun paragraph this early in the day. Stephen Silas has inserted Sengun into the starting lineup over the past two games and if he remains in that role, he becomes my favorite tournament option at center on SuperDraft. Sengun is well over a SuperDraft fantasy point per minute player in his 858 minutes so far this season and as long as he remains in the starting lineup, he should see upper 20’s in minutes. Even if he starts, he’s by no means a lock button play at center, but the upside at his 1.75x multiplier (and taking my Sengun bias out of it) is attractive in any contest format. There are plenty of pivots if he ends up relegated back to the bench, including some forward-eligible plays like Bam Adebayo, Jaren Jackson and Julius Randle.
