MVP/CPT
I mean, yeah. He’s scored 30+ actual points in 13-of-14 games and has put up 50+ DKP in 11 of them. The Mavericks are decimated with hobbled players and Curry has already torched them this season averaging 42.5 PPG and 57.4 DKP/game. Nobody in the league can stop Curry right now and your decision to put him in the CPT spot becomes that much easier if Luka Doncic gets ruled out.
Doncic has been in great form of late. He’s averaged 56.1 DKP/game over his last six contests and was just deemed the Western Conference player of the week. Doncic has had a couple of good showings against the Warriors this year averaging 34.5 points, 8.5 assists, 6.5 rebounds and 57.6 DKP/game.
He didn’t do anything special against the Kings, but Oubre has really looked good coming off the Warriors bench. He poured in 37+ DKP in three of his last five games and the scoring has really picked up as well putting up 19+ actual in six-of-seven. Dallas has had no answer for Oubre this year as he’s averaged 27 PPG and 41 DKP/game in two meetings.
Mid-Tier
Green is coming off two straight double-doubles. The significance? Neither double-double include points. He’s had 26 rebounds and 32 assists in those two games and in each contest, he’s put up 44+ DKP. Green is orchestrating this Warriors offense and the defensive numbers haven’t really been there either. If they show up while he’s putting up the stats he is in the rebounding and passing categories, look out.
It’s been under-the-radar, but Finney-Smith has been a really solid fantasy contributor lately. He’s put up 30+ DKP in two straight, in three-of-five and six-of-10 overall. His role will be expanded with Kristaps Porzingis and Josh Richardson both out as Dallas will need him to play some PF, which will help him on the glass and they’ll need him to continue to be productive offensively.
Wiggins has actually been very productive lately, more productive than he had been for a while there. He’s put up 35+ DKP in three-of-four games and has topped 28 or more in seven-of-10 overall. Wiggins plays monster minutes every game and has been helping in every category lately, notching 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks to go along with his 16.8 points over his last five.
Value Tier
Tim Hardaway Jr.
Look, he’s a high usage player that happens to be very streaky and if you catch him on a good night, he can win you a tournament. Kristaps Porzingis and Josh Richardson are both out and they make up a lot of this team’s offense. Hardaway is a no-brainer to make up for their lost offense with the others out.
JTA has played a lot of minutes lately notching 25+ in four straight and he put up 19+ DKP in each of those games. Dallas has a very bad and exploitable front court and with their choice of likely going small with DFS at PF, JTA could see a lot of extra run here
