Deni Avdija at Suns — High-Usage Forward Primed for Phoenix Matchup

Avdija enters Wednesday fully healthy and locked in as Portland's starting forward, maintaining 100% fantasy ownership and start rates. With Ja Morant sidelined by a hamstring strain, Avdija has taken on significant offensive responsibility, posting 23.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game through six contests, including a 28-point outburst against Denver on Monday.

Our projections expect another complete line tonight in Phoenix, slating Avdija for 39.2 fantasy points behind 23 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. Facing a struggling 1-4 Suns defense in a game featuring a 228.5 over/under, he carries massive upside. Portland also boasts four games this week, maximizing his weekly schedule volume.

Cooper Flagg at Spurs — Texas Showdown in San Antonio

Cooper Flagg enters Wednesday's tilt fully healthy and locked into his high-usage starting forward role alongside Kyrie Irving, with the duo leading Dallas to a 4-1 mark when sharing the floor. Flagg has dominated fantasy formats with universal 100% ownership and start rates, producing an impressive 25.2 points, 6.5 assists, and 2.5 steals across 32.8 minutes per game through his first six contests.

Tonight, our models project Flagg for 43.4 fantasy points with 25 points and seven rebounds over 32 minutes against a red-hot Spurs squad in San Antonio. With three games remaining on Dallas’ four-game weekly schedule, Flagg is a cornerstone fantasy option who remains a mandatory start everywhere.
