Fantasy NBA picks: Buy, hold and sell players for SuperCoach
With Luka Doncic sidelined and several stars hitting form, this week’s fantasy basketball advice breaks down players to add, stick with and trade away to bolster your SuperCoach squad.
It’s a big week for fantasy managers.
Injuries, hot streaks and heavy schedules are shaking up NBA line-ups and knowing who to buy, hold or sell in SuperCoach NBA can make all the difference in your league.
From breakout rookies to established stars, we’ve got the key moves to give your team an edge.
BUY
Austin Reaves (LAL)
No Luka Doncic for the next week should mean LOTS of Austin Reaves for the Lakers. He’s had a strong start to the season both scoring and facilitating and could explode with no LeBron or Luka.
Cedric Coward (MEM)
What a start for the first year man out of Washington State.
Coward is averaging 19 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists through the first three games of his NBA career and has been doing it at a high clip, shooting over 50 per cent from the field in all three games.
The Grizzlies have four games in each of the next two rounds and Coward has cash cow written all over him.
HOLD
Jaylen Brown (BOS)
A slow first two games to the season might have had coaches thinking trade, however Jaylen Brown’s final game of the first round should’ve calmed those minds.
41 points, six rebounds and four assists against the Pistons is more of what we were expecting from Brown without Jayson Tatum.
He picked up a little strain in his hamstring, but that appears to be fine so I’d be sticking with the 2024 Finals MVP.
Reed Sheppard (HOU)
It was only a two-game round for the Rockets and Sheppard was solid without being amazing in his role.
Avoid trading him now, he is still playing 15 to 20-plus minutes per game and the schedule gets better for the Rockets.
SELL
Luka Doncic (LAL)
Not the news we wanted considering the Lakers have such a big slate of games coming up, but Luka Doncic has been ruled out for the next week with injury.
It’s too much cash to be sitting there to hold for the week, but it’s not the last time we’ll see Luka.
Karl-Anthony Towns (NYK)
A slow-ish start to the season for Karl-Anthony Towns who has also been dealing with a little quad issue.
The Knicks schedule certainly isn’t overwhelming from a fantasy point of view either, not playing a four-game round until week six.
I’d be moving him on.
