Monday's slate features 10 games in the NBA, but all eyes are on Luka Doncic as he is expected to make his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers against the Utah Jazz. That game will be televised on ESPN as Doncic looks to help the Lakers rattle off their sixth straight win.
Some key questions heading into this game: How will Doncic perform with LeBron James, and how will the Lakers address the center position after the rescinded Mark Williams trade?
Here's a look at the fantasy streamers and bets to consider tonight.
Monday's fantasy stream team
Keyonte George, PG/SG, Utah Jazz (available in 62.7% of ESPN leagues): George has prospered with the second unit for the Jazz. He has played at least 30 minutes and scored at least 27 fantasy points in four consecutive games, including one with 52 points. Collin Sexton's ankle injury could provide the runway for George to be even more involved in the rotation.
Corey Kispert, SG/SF, Washington Wizards (97%): With Kyle Kuzma traded to the Bucks, Kispert is set for more minutes. He scored 27-plus fantasy points in three of his past four games, including one with 47 points. He also played 29-plus minutes in four of those. Kispert's a solid source of points and 3-pointers, plus he'll chip in a few assists and rebounds. The Wizards and San Antonio Spurs game has one of the highest point totals on the slate, boosting Kispert's streaming appeal.
Gary Trent Jr., SG, Milwaukee Bucks (95.1%): With Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined by injury, other players have a chance to step up, and Trent is one of them. He has scored 40-plus fantasy points in back-to-back games, contributing across the board with points, rebounds, assists and steals in category leagues.
Moody's favorite bets for Monday
LeBron James over 7.5 assists (-130): James could take a step back as a scorer, letting Doncic shine. James has cleared this line in nine of his past 10 games, averaging 16.2 potential assists over that span. He's also hit this mark in both games against the Jazz this season and in 71% of his home games. Utah gives up the fourth-most assists per game this season.
Anfernee Simons over 25.5 points and assists (-120): Simons has hit this line in three straight games and four of his last five on the road. He plays both point guard and shooting guard, which is key since Denver allows a high number of points and assists to both positions. He's also cleared this mark in four straight games against the Nuggets, including one this season. In addition, the Nuggets play at the fifth-fastest pace in the league, creating even more opportunities for Simons.
Bobby Portis over 13.5 assists and rebounds (-110): Antetokounmpo will be out for at least another week with a calf strain. That means more minutes and a higher usage rate for Portis. The veteran big man has hit this line in four of six games without Giannis (and with Damian Lillard). He's also averaged 4.6 potential assists and 19.4 rebound chances in 31.8 minutes per game. That includes two games alongside new addition Kuzma.
Paolo Banchero over 22.5 points (-120): This pick might give you heartburn. Banchero has struggled since returning from injury. He's hit this line in just three of his last 10 games. That said, seven of those 10 games were on the road. He's still putting up 18.8 shot attempts in 34.8 minutes per game. Now, he gets a home matchup against an Atlanta defense that allows the 10th-most points per game to power forwards.
Tyler Herro over 22.5 points (-120): Herro has hit this line in 56% of his 25 games without Jimmy Butler this season. He's struggled to clear it in his last five, but the volume is there -- he has averaged 18.4 field goal attempts in 36.1 minutes per game during that stretch. This game has a narrow spread, suggesting a competitive matchup. Also, the Celtics have had trouble defending pick-and-roll ball handlers lately, making this a great spot for Herro.
Isaiah Collier over 20.5 points, rebounds and assists (-120): Collier has hit this line in seven of his last 10 games. Looking deeper, he's averaging 10.5 field goal attempts, 7.6 rebound chances and 16.2 potential assists in 30.6 minutes per game. With Collin Sexton still out, Collier should see plenty of usage for the Jazz. Meanwhile, Doncic's arrival in Los Angeles will shake up the Lakers' rotation and could hurt them defensively -- another factor that works in Collier's favor.
