Fantasy streamers for Sunday

Trey Murphy III, SF/SG, New Orleans Pelicans (Rostered in 31.1% of ESPN leagues)

With the Pelicans missing two high-usage stars and Herbert Jones also ailing, Murphy steps into a huge role for New Orleans as a premier scoring threat and the team’s top perimeter defender. The Knicks have wings upon wings, but Murphy might just have too much opportunity to deny.

Deni Avdija, SF/PF, Portland Trail Blazers (50.5%)

A favorite of mine from his days with the Washington Wizards, this versatile young forward is blossoming into a fantasy force with the Trail Blazers. The team is running the second unit offense through him at times, while his work defensively has him in rare territory with nearly a block and a steal per game.

Stephon Castle, PG/SG, San Antonio Spurs (31.1%)

It’s happening. Castle is already flashing the dynamic two-way play that made him such an intriguing lottery pick. The Spurs have paired Castle with Chris Paul in most looks and the results have been emboldening; Castle has averaged 16.5 points and 6.5 assists over the past week. The Kings, meanwhile, lack defensive depth in the backcourt.

Marcus Smart, SG/PG, Memphis Grizzlies (12.9%)

Memphis has empowered Scotty Pippen Jr. with real success, but we shouldn’t forget that Smart remains a productive combo guard when healthy. Availability has been an issue with Smart, but he is active against the porous Indiana Pacers and makes for a nice source of assists and steals.

Yves Missi, C, New Orleans Pelicans (8.5%)

Missi has been getting a real run for the depleted Pelicans in recent games, so don’t miss out on his ability to hoard rebounds. The big man has slashed for a double-double with 2.3 blocks per game over the past week.

Spencer Dinwiddie, PG/SG, Dallas Mavericks (8.4%)

Never afraid to loft his own shot, Dinwiddie also has some playmaking upside when tasked with running the offense for the Mavericks in place of Doncic. With 19 assists across his past two games, Dinwiddie is suddenly a great source for passing production.

McCormick’s bets for Sunday

Evan Mobley to record double-double (even)

Mobley’s breakout campaign includes a real rise in efficiency on the glass. This trend has surfaced already in a prior matchup with the Celtics. Meanwhile, Boston is on the front end of a back-to-back, which means some sort of staggering or outright sitting of Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford. We shall see how the Celtics handle their veteran big men, but Mobley’s path to a double-double appears achievable in a game that should see him play big minutes.

Nikola Jokic over 1.5 3-pointers (-135)

While this number is a bit juiced, it’s also quite achievable. Jokic has a real penchant for shooting from deep against the LA Clippers. He made seven 3-pointers in a prior matchup against Ivica Zubac and the Clippers. Jokic’s strategy of stretching the floor against an otherwise undersized Clippers team could resurface.

Jimmy Butler over 28.5 points + rebounds + assists (-115)

With Butler, it’s about health and availability. Given that he’s expected to start and handle a normal workload against the Toronto Raptors, Butler appears to be in a great situation given he has cruised past this number in nearly every complete start this season.

Isaiah Hartenstein over 11.5 rebounds (-115)

Hartenstein has averaged a ridiculous 22 rebounding chances per game since joining the Thunder’s starting lineup, behind only Jokic and Domantas Sabonis this season. The Rockets will struggle to contain Hartenstein on the glass, especially given his potential to play well past 30 minutes against a smaller frontcourt.
