Top picks:

Xavier Cooks: Cooks can score a lot of points from both the offensive and defense 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: 16 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists.

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

Last Match: 22 points, 12 rebounds.
