We have 5 games on the NBA slate this evening for MLK Day and Underdog Fantasy is bringing us plenty of options for our NBA Pick'em plays!

With that said, let's dive into our favorite Underdog Fantasy NBA Pick'em plays for Monday, January 15th, featuring Andrew Nembhard!

 

Underdog Fantasy NBA Pick'em Top Plays

Andrew Nembhard, Indiana Pacers

Nembhard has been thrusted into the starting PG role with Tyrese Haliburton currently on the shelf with a hamstring injury. Over his last three games, Nembhard saw 26, 23, and 29 minutes and accrued 5, 6, and 7 assists in those games. He is averaging 10.0 potential assists for that span, while averaging 6.0 APG, and an adjusted assists of 6.7 per game. In the lone game earlier this year vs the Jazz, Nembhard only needed 19 minutes to log 7 assists. The Jazz are allowing the 8th MOST assists per game at an average of 10.0 to the PG spot over the last 30 days. This game has a modest spread and a hefty total of 246, which is good for the highest on the slate as we know the Pacers love to push the pace. Going to look for Nembhard to dime out tonight.

Pick: Higher 6.0 ASSISTS 

Mikal Bridges, Brooklyn Nets

The Heat are decimated with injuries and have already ruled out Jaime Jaquez, Kevin Love, Kyle Lowry, and Jimmy Butler is questionable to play in this game in Brooklyn. In the three games vs Miami so far this season, Bridges averaged 6.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game recording 9, 12, and 12 rebounds + assists. On the season, the Heat are currently allowing an average of 6.75 RPG and 5.3 APG to the SG position per game. 

Pick: Higher 8.5 REBOUNDS + ASSISTS
