Final Word | NBA Supercoach week 6, trades, skippers, strategy


<p>With Wemby out, Giannis on a 3 gamer, and Doncic on a 2-game week, we were presented with an opportunity to diversify our teams.</p>



<p>Barnes, Johnson, Maxey, and Harden were all popular trade-ins this week, with all firing for owners.</p>



<p>Those who faded SGA in favour of Maxey or Harden were rewarded handsomely, while those who kept Giannis ahead of his back to back 4 games weeks were dealt a cruel injury blow.</p>



<p>SGA still managed 148 points for the week despite once again sitting out a couple of 4th quarters. </p>



<p>There is a world where he averages 45 if they aren’t so dominant. </p>

<p>The Joker continued to do Joker things while Derik Queen has produced more cash than a Chauncey Billups Poker game.</p>



<p>‘The Closers’ made their move into the top 500 this week with strong performances from Maxey, Johnson, Avdija, and, of course, captain Joker!</p>



<p>This week is a bit of a banana peel week for most coaches, with just 10 teams on a 4-game week and many popular picks only playing 3 games. </p>



<p>Compare this with the following week, where 25 teams play 4 games.</p>



<p>I currently only have 3 players in my side that play 4 games this week. </p>



<p>I would exercise caution against completely blowing up your team to ensure you have max games. </p>

<p>Obvious targets this week will be Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren in Detroit. </p>



<p>Outside of those two, I really like Mikal Bridges in New York. </p>



<p>Averaging 24 and priced just under 13 mil, he will keep the points and cash ticking over nicely.</p>



<p>Karl-Anthony Towns has quietly been averaging 34 across his last 9 games. </p>



<p>He’s priced at 19mil, which makes a move from Jalen Johnson fairly simple.</p>



<p>Other options this week are Quickley and Barnes if you don’t own, or Randle, Mathurin, and Booker.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Guns</strong></h3>



<p>Joker, SGA, Doncic, Maxey, and Johnson are all on 3-game weeks. </p>



<p>Giannis and Wemby are injured. </p>



<p>Who to keep this week is a challenging decision for coaches. </p>



<p>SGA probably makes the most sense as a trade-out as he has back-to-back 3-game weeks. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Mid Range</strong></h3>



<p>As mentioned above, I think Mikal Bridges is the pick of the bunch this week, but there may be another sleeper pick staring us in the face. </p>



<p>Jalen Brunson is a certified bucket and could go off in the coming weeks.</p>



<p>I also like Trey Murphy and Benedict Mathurin.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cheapies</strong></h3>



<p>It’s not too late to bow down to the Queen. </p>



<p>Fun to watch and fun to own, Derik Queen should be 100% owned. </p>



<p>Rollins will have one more week with Giannis out, which has been very good for his SuperCoach output. </p>



<p>Jeremiah Fears and Daniss Jenkins should also be serious considerations for downgrades.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>PODs</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Julius Randle MIN &#8211; 4.8% owned</strong></p>



<p>Averaging 31, I don’t think you can go wrong with the pick. </p>



<p>Looking very comfortable and hungry for the ball.</p>



<p><strong>Ausar Thompson DET &#8211; 4.1% owned</strong></p>



<p>One of Spy’s ‘boys’, Ausar, has been solid to begin the season. </p>



<p>Capable of averaging 25, I think he’s undervalued and a good play for the POD hunters.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Super POD’s</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Bennedict Mathurin IND &#8211; 2.8% owned</strong></p>



<p>My favourite pick before the season started, and now is the time to own. </p>



<p>Looks great and ready to deliver on the potential he promises. </p>



<p>Locked in for me.</p>

<p><strong>Jalen Brunson NYK &#8211; 2.3% owned</strong></p>



<p>I’d love to do this one, but don’t think I’ve got the cahoonas. </p>



<p>New York has been a bit meh under new coach Mike Brown, and as a result, so has Brunson’s Super Coach output. </p>



<p>Capable of averaging 35 in any given week.</p>



<p></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Schedule </strong></h3>



<p><strong>Best (4 and 4 games over next 2 weeks)</strong></p>



<p>MIL, NYK, TOR, NOP, IND, DET, MIN</p>



<p><strong>Good (4 games this week)</strong></p>



<p>MEM, PHO, SAC&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Bad (2 games this week)</strong></p>
