The Knicks face off against the Pelicans who are starting to get some of their players back from injury. The key here is the Pelicans allow the third-most assists per game to their opponents. So while the individual defensive players are strong between Murphy, Herb Jones, and Dejounte, the team defense is susceptible. They have been getting cooked on the interior with just rookie Yves Missi playing the majority of the minutes at the 5, and while I like KAT here, the line is a bit high for me. The player that sets KAT up though? Sign me up. Brunson is averaging 7.7 assists per game on 12.3 potentials. In the one matchup with KAT against the Pelicans, Brunson converted for 9 assists in just 27 minutes due to a Knicks blowout. Considering the Pelicans have the fourth-worst Adjusted Defense in the league and allow a plethora of assists to their opponents, I’ll back Brunson, the clear head of the snake to set up his teammates.

The Suns take on the Pistons today and they will be without Devin Booker. In his absence, I’m turning to Kevin Durant. Durant has been lethal this season and is scoring 26.4 points per game with a 59.3 eFG% as he remains as efficient as ever. Although he has yet to play without Book this season, when Booker sat last season KD averaged 32.1 ppg. This season, when KD plays alongside Booker, he scores 32.7 points per 100 possessions. Without Booker? It jumps to an eye popping 44.5 points per 100. This matchup against the Pistons is exploitable. Their defense is below average and they get roasted in the midrange. Without Booker, I expect KD to score.

🌟 Karl-Anthony Towns to be an Eastern Conference All Star+240

I'm expecting a big bump from KAT on the offensive side of the ball as he returns to the Center position. It should dramatically impact his spacing and his shot profile while also seeing a bump in rebounds not playing alongside Gobert. Couple that with the NY Boost and the comments surrounding Embiid, Paul George, etc regarding their health/health management there are multiple outs for him to get there. I love that players designated as a replacement will also be graded as winners.

Relogging, not doubling down. The Denver Nuggets will be adjusting to life without KCP this season and I expect a boost for MPJ. MPJ has averaged 2.7, 3.0, and 2.8 3s per game in the three healthy seasons he’s played in despite the Nuggets playing at a Bottom 6 Pace in the league in each of those seasons (per NBA Advanced Stats). There’s reason to believe in a change here with the acquisition of Russell Westbrook along with the injection of Christian Braun or Julian Strawther into the starting lineup instead of KCP. This is a significantly faster and more athletic rotation and Denver will be able to play at an overall faster Pace. Further, those players are not nearly as good as KCP from shooting beyond the arc. MPJ will need to absorb a greater number of 3 point attempts to maintain the team’s spacing. He is a deadeye shooter with a 41.0% mark from behind the arc throughout his career. Even if we see a decline in efficiency due to an uptick in volume, 2.8 3s per game is too low for MPJ. I’ll take over 2.8 3s per game.

Team Specials on DK - This is a “free” boost on OKC to win the title in my opinion, he averaged 19.1 last season primarily w/ Giddey and if he DOES NOT average 20+ ppg, it would dramatically affect my opinion of OKC anyway ***- This is how I'm betting OKC to win the title***

Bennedict Mathurin+2500
2024-25 NBA 6th Man of the Year
0.5u
Play down to +1500 I like Mathurin's opportunity here as a guy that plays primarily off the bench. He's a microwave scorer and even though he's coming off of injury, he can easily score 17-18 ppg this season. He had better splits post ASG and at home, those are things that tend to regulate as players get more seasoned and watch more tape.

For Pritchard, he continues to improve and Boston just destroys teams. He could sneakily score even 13 ppg this year and that's assuming perfect health from Boston who is coming off a Championship. It's worth a sprinkle.
