The Pick And Roll: Supercoach NBA Week 5, everything you need to know

From injury watch to breakevens and most traded players, here's everything you need to know about Supercoach NBA Week 5

NBA

Nikola Jokic once again prevailed as the top Supercoach scorer of the week, while only playing 3 games a well!!!

Just behind him for the week was Jalen Johnson, who is excelling for Atlanta in Trae Young’s absence and looks like a hot trade-in option this week.

James Harden rounded out the top 3 scorers for the week as he continues to show that he is far from ‘washed’.

When making trades this week, it appears to be a case of do everything you can to bring in Jokic if you don’t already own.

He isn’t the only enticing option this week, though, and the ‘Most Traded In’ list shows plenty of promising players.

NBA SUPERCOACH WEEK 5 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 4 once again has the majority of teams (14, to be exact) playing 4 games this week.

The winners of the fixtures include Nikola Jokic (Nuggets), Jalen Johnson (Hawks), Tyrese Maxey (Philadelphia), and James Harden (Clippers), who are among the teams that will play four fixtures.

Steer clear of the LA Lakers and Houston Rockets, who will only play 2 games in Week 5. This includes the premium options of Luka Doncic and Alperen Sengun.

KEY INJURY LIST

Cam Thomas (BKN) has been diagnosed with a hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated in 3-4 weeks.

Anthony Davis (DAL) is set to be re-evaluated at the end of this week.

Nikola Jokic (DEN) is probable with a wrist injury for their next game vs Bulls.

Jalen Duren (DET) is probable for their next game.

Cade Cunningham (DET) is still listed as questionable with hip injury.

Kawhi Leonard (LAC) is yet to make a return from a sprained ankle/foot.

Bam Adebayo (MIA) has been out with a toe injury, still questionable

Zion Williamson (NOP) is questionable to make return from his hamstring injury

Paolo Banchero (ORL) has been out with groin injury, listed as questionable

Jalen Green (PHX) re-evaluated in 4-6 weeks after hamstring injury

Victor Wembanyama (SAS) questionable to play with a calf injury

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.
