The Pick And Roll: Supercoach NBA Week 8, 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 8

NBA

A lot of basketball has been played since Week 7 of NBA Supercoach, as we have been gifted a break to rethink our strategies and maybe reset if things haven’t gone right for your side so far.

Casting our mind back to week 7 and to know surprise, it was Nikola Jokic that led all scorers comfortably, followed by his teammate Jamal Murray just behind him.

While many popular mid-range options continued to get it done, it was Kevin Porter Jr. the cheapie, who stole the show, finishing the week as the third-highest point scorer.

Owners flocked to Luka Doncic for his 4-game-week, but were quickly in shambles when finding out Doncic was to miss two games due to the birth of his daughter.

Yet another spanner in the works in what seems like a game full of endless curveballs.

NBA SUPERCOACH WEEK 8 FIXTURES

Heading into a short week 8 of NBA Supercoach, expect low scores, with all teams playing just 2-3 games.

Week 8 will start on Thursday, the 18th of December, with just the Bulls vs Cavaliers, and Timberwolves vs Grizzlies

The teams to target that are playing 3 games this week are the Hawks, Bulls, Rockets, Heat, Timberwolves, Knicks, Kings, Spurs, Raptors, and Wizards.

KEY INJURY LIST

Trae Young (ATL) has been assigned to the G-League side as he nears a return

Kristaps Porzingis (ATL) has been ruled out for two weeks as he undergoes testing on illness

Evan Mobley (CLE) suffered calf strain, expected to miss 1-2 weeks

Austin Reaves (LAL) will be re-evaluated in one week after suffering calf injury

Zach Edey (MEM) will be re-evaluated in 4 weeks after ankle injury

Gianis Antetokounmpo (MIL) will be out for a few more weeks with calf injury

Franz Wagner (ORL) is expected to miss 2-4 weeks with ankle injury

Alex Sarr (WAS) is still yet to return to practice with thigh 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.
