FanDuel. I’m going to keep beating the Dylan Harper drum. He’s cleared this line in 16 of the last 22 games he’s played with Victor Wembanyama, De’Aaron Fox and Stephon Castle, with most of the misses coming in tougher matchups (the Knicks, Pistons twice, Thunder and Celtics). The Nuggets are the league’s 21st rated defense, and below average in what Harper does best offensively. With his rotation now up to 22-24 minutes, I like this spot for Harper.
De’Aaron Fox is an elite scorer and despite averaging the fewest PPG he’s scored since his sophomore season, he sacrifices a ton in order to play on an elite team. We’re getting a discount on this points line, in a game that projects to be competitive and high scoring. When Fox sees 30+ minutes he’s hit this line in over 68% of his appearances this season.
