Myles Turner has continued to provide reliable value for fantasy managers after an impressive offensive season in the NBA. Despite the odds stacked against the reigning champs in Los Angeles, the Nuggets managed to pull off a victory, and veterans Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan stepped up in big ways to reward fantasy managers who streamed them.
Reggie Jackson, who was previously overlooked, shined with 35 points, five rebounds, 13 assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers. He has been making a significant impact in the absence of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray for the Nuggets. Meanwhile, DeAndre Jordan surprised everyone with a line of 21 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block, proving himself ready to perform at a moment’s notice.
While Monday’s games didn’t provide many standout fantasy pickups, Jordan Hawkins, Naji Marshall, Simone Fontecchio, and Marcus Morris are a few names worth taking note of. Hawkins delivered 13 points and three 3-pointers for the Pelicans, highlighting the team’s need for sharpshooters. Naji Marshall showcased his versatility with 14 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one 3-pointer, although he faces tough competition from his teammates. Simone Fontecchio stepped up in the starting lineup and may be worth considering in deep leagues, especially if Lauri Markkanen remains sidelined. Marcus Morris also had a strong game with 16 points and four 3-pointers, but his inconsistency makes him a riskier fantasy pick.
