After taking Tuesday off for Election Day, the NBA returns with its second full slate of double-digit games over the past three days. With 12 games on the docket, 24 teams will be back in action with intriguing matchups across the board.
The Oklahoma City Thunder, one of the last two undefeated teams in the NBA, featuring early MVP favorite Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (+250), will travel to Ball Arena to face three-time MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. Paul George returns to Los Angeles to face his former Clippers squad, and the defending champion Boston Celtics take on the Golden State Warriors in a match that will help us figure out whether the new-look Warriors' resurgence is real.
As always, let's dig deeper into the matchups to identify some fantasy hoops streamers and betting angles of interest.
ESPN's fantasy basketball daily cheat sheet is your pregame destination before you set your lineups for that night's games. Here you'll read our best advice for the night, including a selection of players you can stream as well as game-by-game injury reports and player projections.
Wednesday's fantasy players to stream into your lineup
Bennedict Mathurin, SF/SG, Indiana Pacers (available in 78.5% of ESPN leagues)
Mathurin moved into the starting lineup two games ago but has played three excellent games in a row. He has averaged 21.7 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 3.3 APG and 1.3 3PG in 35.7 MPG over that span.
Royce O'Neale, SF, Phoenix Suns (89.4% available)
O'Neale has had three strong games in his past four outings. He has averaged 12.8 PPG, 7.0 RPG, 2.0 APG, 2.8 3PG, 1.3 BPG and 0.8 SPG in 25.3 MPG over that four-game stretch.
Ochai Agbaji, SF/SG, Toronto Raptors (75.3% available)
Agbaji has moved into the starting lineup with Scottie Barnes (eye) sidelined, and he continues to show signs of a breakout in his third season. In his last two games as a starter, Agbaji has averaged 19.0 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 3.0 APG, 3.0 3PG and 2.0 SPG in 34.5 MPG.
Dre's best bets for Wednesday
Jalen Duren over 11.5 total rebounds (-125).
The Pistons-Hornets matchup should be fun, with plenty of big numbers on both sides and Duren over 11.5 rebounds is my favorite prop from the game. Duren has been locking in on the glass recently and the Hornets will be without their top two centers Nick Richards (ribs) and Mark Williams (foot) Wednesday night. Duren has grabbed 31 rebounds over his past two games and seems to be ramping up his production as the season continues.
Pacers -5.5 over Magic (-110).
The Magic were playing some of the best ball in the East before Paolo Banchero's abdominal tear, but his absence has emphasized just how much the team relies upon him. In the three games without Banchero, the Magic are 0-3 with a -17.3 average scoring margin, having lost all three games by double figures. All three have been road games against strong opponents, but Wednesday's game will be against a playoff team from last season. After a slow start, the Pacers have won two of their past three games with victories over the Celtics and Mavericks. Indiana should be able to comfortably defeat a Magic team without its star in Banchero.
Derrick White over 3.5 total 3-pointers made (-115)
White has been consistent behind the arc all season, averaging 3.6 3PG on the year. The Celtics are relying on his offense a bit more in the short term with Jaylen Brown out, and White continues to deliver. White totaled 39 points and eight 3-pointers over the last two games without Brown, with four 3-pointers in each game. He has knocked down at least four treys in three of his past four games.
Cavaliers -7.5 over Pelicans (-110)
The Cavaliers opened the season as one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Cleveland is one of only two undefeated teams remaining and have an average scoring margin of +13.2 PPG on the season. Meanwhile, the Pelicans have been spiraling as they deal with injuries to both of their starting guards. New Orleans has lost five of their past six games without Dejounte Murray (hand), all by double figures (average of 17.6 points per loss).
Jalen Green over 23.5 points (-110)
The Rockets will face the Spurs for the third time already this season and Green likes to go off against San Antonio. In the Rockets' first game against the Spurs, Green dropped 29 points and then topped that with a season-high 36 points in the second game last Monday.
