Week 9 of the NBA season sees the return of a more typical schedule, with the Emirates NBA Cup concluding. Fantasy players have several options to consider, particularly those with low roster rates.
Highlighted starts include Kelly Oubre of the Philadelphia 76ers and Ayo Dosunmu of the Chicago Bulls, both poised for significant contributions. Meanwhile, Dennis Schroder of the Golden State Warriors is advised to sit due to his recent trade and reduced role.
Forwards like Malik Beasley of the Detroit Pistons and Gradey Dick of the Toronto Raptors are also recommended starts, while Tobias Harris of the Pistons may need to be benched due to injury concerns.
Centers Nick Richards of the Charlotte Hornets and Yves Missi of the New Orleans Pelicans are strong start candidates, whereas Brook Lopez of the Milwaukee Bucks may not be worth the risk this week.
