The Pick And Roll: Supercoach NBA Week 8, everything you need to know


<p>A lot of basketball has been played since Week 7 of NBA Supercoach, as we have been gifted a break to rethink our strategies and maybe reset if things haven&#8217;t gone right for your side so far.</p>



<p>Casting our mind back to week 7 and to know surprise, it was <strong>Nikola Jokic</strong> that led all scorers comfortably, followed by his teammate <strong>Jamal Murray</strong> just behind him. </p>



<p>While many popular mid-range options continued to get it done, it was <strong>Kevin Porter Jr. </strong>the cheapie, who stole the show, finishing the week as the third-highest point scorer.</p>



<p>Owners flocked to Luka Doncic for his 4-game-week, but were quickly in shambles when finding out Doncic was to miss two games due to the birth of his daughter.</p>



<p>Yet another spanner in the works in what seems like a game full of endless curveballs. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>NBA SUPERCOACH WEEK 8 FIXTURES</strong></h3>



<p>Heading into a short week 8 of NBA Supercoach, expect low scores, with all teams playing just 2-3 games. </p>



<p>Week 8 will start on Thursday, the 18th of December, with just the Bulls vs Cavaliers, and Timberwolves vs Grizzlies</p>



<p>The teams to target that are playing 3 games this week are the Hawks, Bulls, Rockets, Heat, Timberwolves, Knicks, Kings, Spurs, Raptors, and Wizards.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>NBA SUPERCOACH BREAKEVENS</strong></h3>



<p>Breakevens are the score required for the player to either make money or lose money.</p>



<p>Unlike other Supercoach competitions, a player’s price will rise or fall after 3 games rather than 3 weeks of Supercoach.</p>



<p>When looking at who to trade in this week, heavily consider the players with low breakevens, as they will help make your team money.</p>



<p>Similarly, if you have some players with high breakevens in your team, maybe it’s time to consider cutting ties to ensure your team doesn’t lose too much value.</p>
