Power Play
Andre Drummond missed the Detroit Pistons last game due to an allergic reaction. He’s questionable tonight, so double check his status prior to tip-off. Over his last 5 games, he’s averaging 20.2 points, 15.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 2.6 steals (53.3 fantasy points) in 32.0 minutes per game. Drummond has scored 52.5 or more fantasy points in 4 of those 5 games. He gets an elite matchup against the Washington Wizards, who have multiple injuries to their bigs at the moment. Drummond is an athletic center, who will benefit from the pace of this game. He has the potential to contribute in each of the five categories, and he comes with 20/20 potential on a nightly basis.
Kristaps Porzingis will benefit from the recent injury to Luka Doncic. He has posted a 25.5% usage rating through 24 games, but that is expected to increase to 30% with Doncic out. Porzingis played 39 minutes in his first game without Doncic, scoring 22 points with 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks, and 1 steal (49.8 fantasy points). Most importantly, he saw 21 shot attempts including 9 three-point attempts in that game. Porzingis gets a solid matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, and this total is a bit low for his potential as the focal point of the rotation.
Play 1 unit on Andre Drummond OVER 51.0 fantasy points and Kristaps Porzingis OVER 41.0 fantasy points to win 2.5 units (2.5x)
