Outlook Aday Mara

Aday Mara vs. Cavaliers — Expanding Backup Role and Rim Protection Upside

Healthy and operating as Oklahoma City's primary backup center behind Isaiah Hartenstein, Mara's opportunity has surged with Chet Holmgren sidelined. Highlighted on the latest Rookie Ladder, Mara's roster rate has climbed over 51% as fantasy managers seek his rim protection. Over his last six contests, the rookie center has averaged 6.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 18.5 minutes.

For tonight's home matchup against Cleveland, our models project Mara for 24.2 fantasy points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 24 minutes. Facing a 226.5 projected total in a four-game week that concludes with a back-to-back, Mara profiles as an appealing streaming target.

Outlook Isaiah Jackson

Isaiah Jackson vs. Heat — Groin Soreness Clouds Starting Frontcourt Role

Isaiah Jackson is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Miami due to left groin soreness. When available, Jackson holds a starting frontcourt role ahead of veteran Brook Lopez. Through seven games with Los Angeles, he is averaging 21.3 minutes, 9.6 points, and 6.4 rebounds while shooting 60.0% from the field, which has pushed his rostered rate up to 43%.

If cleared, our models project Jackson for 24.7 fantasy points with 9.8 points and 7.5 rebounds in 23.5 minutes. He faces a tough interior matchup against Bam Adebayo, though his rim-running maintains a reliable floor. For the week, Los Angeles has two games remaining on their three-game slate, concluding Sunday against New Orleans.
