PHX vs DEN Top Picks

Nikola Jokic (DEN)
Nikola is one of the best all-around bigs to play in the league. He is the reigning MVP and has looked imposing for every defender. Nikola can easily chip in with 25-35 points, 10-15 rebounds, 5-10 assists, on a regular basis. He is indeed a valuable player in a fantasy lineup.

Chris Paul (PHX)
CP3 has been one of the most talented guards in the league for more than a decade. The eagle-eyed PG is an incredible fantasy option for his ability to hand over assists and has the skills to set up 15-20 points every now and then.

Michael Porter Jr. (DEN)
Michael Porter Jr. had a breakout 2020-21 NBA season. His scoring has skyrocketed and matured while he is also an electric rebounder. He can become an elite fantasy pick down the line.

DeAndre Ayton (PHX)
Deandre remained one of the most consistent bigs last season. His ability to score in the paint, rebound the ball, and also play defense, makes him the reason for the Suns’ success. In terms of fantasy value, expect 15-20 points, 10-15 rebounds, and 1-2 block shots regularly from the Center.

Will Barton (DEN)
Will Barton is a two-way guard who is one of the players who quietly do the job for the team. In terms of fantasy expectations, the guard can be sought for 10-15 points, 4-5 rebounds, and 1-2 steals consistently. Highly recommended pick.

Devin Booker (PHX)
Booker is one of the most elite scorers in the NBA right now. The guard enabled his team to make the Finals last season and keeps on improving other aspects of his game. Expect 25-35 points regularly, along with 4-6 assists, and 3-6 rebounds.

Aaron Gordon (DEN)
Acquired in the post-mid-season trade last season, Gordon has given a lot of speed and athleticism to the Nuggets. One can expect Gordon to reel in 10-15 points and 5-8 rebounds regularly.

Mikal Bridges (PHX)
Bridges is a dynamic two-way forward who is a key figure in this team. You can expect him to turn tables again this season. Expect 12-16 points, 4-7 rebounds, and 1-2 blocks or steals on a consistent basis.

P.J. Dozier (DEN)
P.J. is a serviceable defender and does a great job at the perimeter. Can be a decent pick to balance the
lineup.
