| | NBA Sit or Start Guide NBA Sit or Start Guide | | Day'Ron Sharpe (Brooklyn Nets) | | Day'Ron Sharpe has seen an increase in minutes due to injuries on the Nets, positioning him for a breakout week. His strong rebounding, shot-blocking, and efficient scoring provide the potential for double-doubles. With a clear role expansion and favorable matchups, he is a must-start for your fantasy lineup. | | Start |
| | Kevin Porter Jr. (Milwaukee Bucks) | | Kevin Porter Jr. is emerging as a high-upside play for the Bucks, benefiting from an expanded role off the bench. His ability to contribute in scoring, assists, and three-pointers makes him a valuable asset. With favorable matchups on the horizon, he's a strong candidate to start this week. | | Start |
| | Amir Coffey (Los Angeles Clippers) | | Amir Coffey's minutes have been inconsistent due to the Clippers' deep rotation, and his role has diminished as a result. With limited offensive opportunities and lower usage, he is less likely to produce significant fantasy numbers. It's best to sit him this week in favor of players with more reliable contributions. | | Sit |
