The Pick And Roll: Supercoach NBA Week 3, everything you need to know

From injury watch to most traded players, here's everything you need to know about Supercoach NBA Week 3

NBA

Week 2 of Supercoach NBA is complete, and I hope you’re prepared for the tight lockout turnaround this time around!

Taking a look back at the past week in basketball, we started with Austin Reaves stepping up in Doncic’s absence with 37 and 31; before a drop in point scoring once Luka was back with 20 and 24 in his final 2 games.

He still finished with the 10th highest score of the week, helped by the fact that he played the max four games in Week 2.

Nikola Jokic was the main talking point with a triple-double in the first 4 games and, more relevantly to Supercoaches, three scores over 40 points to take his average to 41.8ppg.

It is double good news for owners and non-owners alike this week, with Denver playing the max 4 games and Jokic dropping in price – albeit by only $190k.

Lauri Markannen impressed at $11.1mil scoring 135 points, primarily in the first two games of the week with scores of 49 and 39.

Despite his 30.8 average, he has scored sub-25 points in 4/6 games, plus Utah play just 3 games in Week 3. He might be a watch for the time being.

Other mid-rangers that performed well in Week 2 included Tyrese Maxey, who topped the scoring for the week with 146 points, Paolo Banchero, who had four scores over 30 on his way to 137 points, and Aussie Josh Giddey, who scored 80 points combined in his two finals games against the Knicks.

NBA SUPERCOACH WEEK 3 FIXTURES

You’ve got to be on the pulse this season with lockouts, with Weeks ending every Monday afternoon and starting up straight away on Tuesday morning.

Week 3 has the majority of teams (17, to be exact) playing 4 games this week.

The winners of the fixtures include Nikola Jokic (Denver), Josh Giddey (Chicago), Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC), who are among the teams that will play four fixtures.

Steer clear of the Charlotte Hornets, who will only play 2 games in Week 3. This includes cheapies Kon Knueppel and Ryan Kalkbrenner, as well as LaMelo Ball.

KEY INJURY LIST

Trae Young (ATL) will be out until at least the end of November with a knee injury.

Anthony Davis (DAL) will be out till November 5th with a calf injury, and could be an ongoing day-to-day watch.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL) is nursing a knee injury and will be day-to-day for the foreseeable future. We already saw him be rested against the Warriors in Week 2.

Chet Holmgren (OKC) went down with a back injury and is expected to miss a couple of games for the Thunder.

Kevin Porter Jr (MIL) will be out until at least November 28, giving Ryan Rollins some extra minutes in his place.

Joel Embiid (PHI) continues to battle a knee injury and will be a game-time decision for the foreseeable furture.

Anthony Edwards (MIN) will miss at least another week and a bit with a hamstring injury. He is expected back around November 14.

NBA SUPERCOACH BREAKEVENS

Breakevens are the score required for the player to either make money or lose money.

Unlike other Supercoach competitions, a player’s price will rise or fall after 3 games rather than 3 weeks of Supercoach.

When looking at who to trade in this week, heavily consider the players with low breakevens, as they will help make your team money.

Similarly, if you have some players with high breakevens in your team, maybe it’s time to consider cutting ties to ensure your team doesn’t lose too much value.
