Final Word | NBA Supercoach week 10, trades, skippers, strategy

What a great week, both NBA and Supercoach-wise. 



Epic games and huge player performances led to some massive player scores.



What is there left to say about Nikola Jokic? 



Both his weekly total of 221 and single-game score of 79 against the Timberwolves are Supercoach records as far as I can tell. 



244 coaches in the top 10% didn’t captain Joker. Brutal! 



Let this be a lesson to anyone thinking of going against him over the next 5 weeks. 



He’s your captain. Period.

‘The Closers’ had a good week with a score of 1,266, moving us up into 601st and keeping us alive in the Cup.



Like many, I had Joker, Cunningham, SGA, Mitchell, Avdija, and Flagg, who all went big.



Those who traded in Jamal Murray were rewarded with a score of 114.



Keyonte George flew under my radar, returning a score of 118 for the 413 coaches who brought him in. Well done!



Kawhi Leonard has exploded for 149 points in just 3 games. 



This would have been handy when I brought him in 5 weeks ago. Cheers!



Paolo Banchero, Trey Murphy, Pascal Siakam, and Ware were disappointing for new owners with all 4 potential tradeout options this week.



With many key players playing 4 games, this week presents a potential opportunity to boost. 



Let’s have a look at the options.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GUN’s</h3>



For the next 5 weeks, I’m going to assume everyone owns Joker and is captaining him. 



If for some reason you don’t, and haven’t deleted the app, make it happen now.



Wemby has finished his ramp-up from injury and moved back into the starting lineup for the final game of the week. 



He marked the occasion with 40 points. 



With 4 games this week and next, he’s a must-own.



Cade Cunningham has been huge for owners, but with a run of 3, 3, 2 games over the next 3 weeks, he is most likely your ticket to Wemby.



Jalen Johnson now has back-to-back 4-game weeks; however has been ruled out of tomorrow’s game with illness. 



If, for some reason, you sold last week, you have been given a fortunate break.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Shai Gilgeous-Alexander today: 27 Points 5 Assists 2 Rebounds 2 Steals 10/13 FGM +19 +/- 29 Minutes <a href="https://t.co/TmHOUxWZZc">pic.twitter.com/TmHOUxWZZc</a>&mdash; Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/2005412488851206607?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 28, 2025</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



SGA has been a reliable 35-point-a-game scorer all season and was the third-highest scorer in week 9. 



There are still 16% of the top 10% who don’t own, and with back-to-back 4-game weeks, he is also a must-own.



As you can see, if you haven’t set your team up well and generated enough cash in the opening weeks, you may struggle to own all of these players.



Giannis has returned from his calf injury and scored 33 points in just 25 minutes. 



Plays 4 games this week, but just like Wemby, will have a ramp-up period before playing full minutes.



Doncic and Maxey are both on 3 games this week. 



I’d be prioritising the above 4 game guns over these two.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Midrange</h3>



This week presents us with quite a few options in the midrange category.



Mitchell, Edwards, and Murray will be at the top of most lists. 



I spruiked both Murray and Mitchell as buys last week, and they delivered. 



Edwards is looking special. 



If I can find a way to do it, I will, but I think he will be a scary death ride for me over the next two weeks.



Other notable players with 4 games across the next 2 weeks are Giddey, Melo, Booker, Banchero, and Sarr.



They all have the potential to go big in any given game; however, I’m not convinced of their consistency across an entire Supercoach week. 



I prefer either one of the Knicks duo in KAT and Brunson, or that dude in Golden State, Steph Curry, although he is unsure if he backs up tomorrow. 



Keep an eye on the injury report.



Given that we need to find a way to bring in Wemby, for most coaches, there will only be room for one. 



Welcome aboard KAT.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cheapies</h3>



Kevin Porter Jnr has made us close to 4.5 million, and with a 4-game week, I will be riding one more price rise.



Maxime Raynaud was good enough for owners and should give us a couple more weeks of cash gen.



With many looking to downgrade Cooper Flagg to facilitate their Wemby trade, the best options aren’t clear-cut.



I like one of either Tyler Kolek or Spencer Jones, but there are a few options out there.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">PODs</h3>



Mikal Bridges NYK &#8211; 8.5% owned



Has been slept on a little with teammates KAT, Brunson, and Hart, all popular trade-ins recently. 



With the latter now injured, Bridges&#8217; offensive role is likely to increase. 



Jalen Brunson NYK &#8211; 4.6% owned



Another knickerbocker who is in the mix to come in this week. 



Quietly averaging 26 points, Brunson is capable of exploding for 40-plus in any given game. 



Catching the right week is the key, which is why I’m staying away.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Super PODs</h3>



Anthony Black ORL &#8211; 0.5% owned



Black is relishing his current role on offense and produced his best score of 39 against Denver. 



With Franz Wagner still sidelined and priced under 10 mil, this is as pody a play as it gets.



Michael Porter JR BKN &#8211; 0.1% owned



Currently owned by just 4 coaches in the top 10%, MPJ has been on fire for the Nets. 



He is averaging 32 points over the last 3 weeks and plays 19 of a possible 20 games over the next 5 weeks. 



I like the move. 



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Schedule&nbsp;</h3>



Best (4 and 4 games over the next 2 weeks)



ATL, CHA, CHI, DEN, GSW, MIA, MIN, NOP, NYK, OKC, ORL, PHX, POR, SAS, WSH



Good (4 games this week)



BKN, CLE, IND, MIL, SAC



Bad (2 games this week)



NONE

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trade &amp; Skipper Plans</h3>



I own Mathurin, Sheppard, and Flagg, who are all downgrade/upgrade options to get to Wemby; however, with multiple targets this week, I think I’m going to have to say goodbye to my boy Cade.



Cade to Wemby



Flagg to Kolek



Sheppard to KAT



C Joker 



VC SGA



Good luck all and remember, stay patient!
