Sunday Draftstreet Picks

Happy Sunday everybody! Sunday has a full slate of NBA games with plenty of great matchups to choose from. I am going to share with you all my fantasy lineup to help you guys get some ideas on who to play.

G Kobe Bryant) vs. Phoenix Suns
Kobe Bryant hates the Phoenix Suns.

Say what you want about Kobe(who might be a sociopath) he is one competitive S.O.B. He is holding out a grudge against the dreadful Suns for a rivalry that they had what seems like 5 years ago. Every time he faces them, he wants to scorch them, and he usually does put up a huge stat-line. This is the third time that he has faced them this year, here are his statlines the last 2 games.

48 Points 5 Rebounds 3 Assists 3 Steals

36 Points 9 Rebounds 6 Assists 4 Steals

That is dirty, they cannot guard him. Kobe is a must to get in your lineup, since he should put up another top statline for 4 grand less than the highest priced players.

G James Harden) vs. Denver Nuggets

The Thunder are starting to develop a “big 3” of their own. I am a huge James Harden fan, a player who is very fairly priced, and has big nights almost as often as Durant and Westbrook. His minutes haven;t really gone up since Sefalosha’s injury, but it still makes me more inclined to play him. I think Harden will have a big Sunday as he has been putting up big stat-lines all season.

G Marshon Brooks ($8,756) vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Brooks’ minutes have been going up recently, as have his stats. Get him in your lineups before his price goes up along with them. Brooks had a big game on Saturday(19 points 3 rebounds 2 assists) and I expect a similar stat-line today. For his price, he is a huge bargain.

F Ersan Ilyasova ($11,434) vs. New Jersey Nets

Somebody has to get rebounds on this team… right? Bogut is hurt, Gooden is hurt, so get Ilyasova in your lineup against a Nets team that may be the worst rebound team in the NBA.

F Kris Humphries ($13,834) vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Speaking of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA facing off, I think the former Mr. Kardashian should get a good amount of boards facing in this game too. In a battle of David vs David, somebody is going to score points and get rebounds, and my last 3 picks are good bets to.

F Omri Casspi ($6,532) vs. Sacramento Kings

Casspi has been getting more playing time with Varajao hurt again. Therefore, I think against a non-competitive Kings team, he will have a decent output. The Kings also are his old team, I like to play guys against the teams that traded them away, hoping their ego will want to “show” their old boss up.

C Demarcus Cousins ($16,459) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

For a guy who’s play on the court doesn’t remotely impress me, Cousins is a fantasy stud. Finally moved to center on draftstreet increases his value as well. With the aforementioned Varajao injury, I don’t think the Cavs have anybody who can match up to him either. I think Cousins will blow up Sunday, so make sure to get him in your lineups.

C Nikola Pekovic ($12,936) vs Philadelphia 76ers

Where did this dude come from? Where-ever it was, he is putting up huge numbers every day, and his price keeps going up. Keep playing him while he is still a bargain. The Sixers are a very good team, but they are small up front, so I think Pekovic puts up another good stat-line in this game.

I hope this blog will help you with your choices today, may the force be with you fellow fantasy brethren.
