Top picks:

Sam Timmins: Timmins has the ability to score a lot of points from both the offensive and defence areas, and he will be looking to repeat his performance in this match. He is a good SP choice for our fantasy team.

Last Match: 21 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists.

 Tanne Samuel: An important element of the Wellington Saints team and needs to contribute more so that he can draw the defence away from the paint and open up opportunities for other players. He has been a consistent performer in recent matches. Samuel does have the potential to provide maximum points and will be the perfect SP choice for our fantasy team.

Star Player and Pro Player choices:
