DeMar DeRozan at Suns — Secondary Scoring Punch in High-Total Road Tilt

DeRozan enters Friday healthy and slotted into a key sixth-man role off Denver's bench. Through his first four games with the Nuggets, the veteran swingman is averaging 13.0 points and 2.5 assists across 26.0 minutes per contest. Fantasy managers have adjusted to his trimmed reserve role, with his roster rate stabilizing near 84% and start rate at 62%.

In tonight's road matchup against Phoenix, our models project DeRozan for 27.1 fantasy points, highlighted by 18 points and four assists in 27 minutes. An elevated 229.5 over/under supports ample offensive possessions, offering a high-floor scoring opportunity to wrap up Denver's three-game week.

Grayson Allen vs 76ers — Perimeter Streaming Appeal in Four-Game Week Finale

Operating as Charlotte's primary sixth man on the wing behind Brandon Miller, Grayson Allen continues to see reliable run with Coby White sidelined. Allen has carved out a stable perimeter role across six games this season, averaging 13.5 points and 2.8 three-pointers in 26.5 minutes per contest, which has driven his fantasy roster rate up to 56%.

For tonight's tight home matchup against the 5-1 76ers, our models project Allen for 25.4 fantasy points alongside 16 points and three triples across 27 minutes. This matchup caps Charlotte's four-game week, making Allen a dependable target for perimeter scoring.
