Final Word | NBA Supercoach Week 17, Trades, Skippers, Strategy

Game Week 16 finally came to a close with 2 weeks&#8217; worth of action and an All-Star break in between, giving us all a much-needed breather. 



With many players on 5-game weeks, we saw some big scores led by the Fantasy GOAT with 200 points. 



I’ve seen some players talking about trading out Jokic for his upcoming 3-game weeks. 



Please don’t. There simply haven’t been enough players on a 4-game week that consistently outscore him on 3.



Speaking of what players can do with fewer games than others, Wemby 162 and Cade 160 had the 2nd and 3rd highest scores of the week in just 4 games.



KAT finally produced for patient owners while the new super duo in Cleveland got it done with Harden 132 and Mitchell 131 points.

Kawhi continues to be a me problem. 



His durability this season has been an outlier, and he’s burnt me as a non-owner. 



You can rest assured, as soon as I bring him in, he will rest.



Johnson, Murray, and Maxey remain consistent scorers for coaches.



‘The Closers’ scored a solid 1359, which still wasn’t good enough to move up any places. 



Feels like I’ve been sitting between 500 &#8211; 700 for 10 weeks.



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



As stated above, Joker is a hold.



If you don’t own Wemby, Cade, or Luka, they are all must-haves for the next few weeks.



I’ll be holding Maxey despite a 3-game week, but will part ways with JJ.



SGA may return towards the backend of the week, so he is a wait-and-see.



Kawhi is a sell as he enters a 2-game week.

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



Jaylen Brown will be a popular purchase this week, but with the imminent return of Jayson Tatum, I’m wary of how this will affect the overall offensive output of the team short-term. 



Conversely, James Harden has had no negative impact on Donovan Mitchell in Cleveland. 



They both seem to be thriving, and I can’t knock the purchase of either.



Durant, Sengun, and Thompson remain viable options this week. 



The KD files threaten to derail their season; however, I’m sure they have cleared the air. Let&#8217;s see.



Zion Williamson is quietly averaging 26 across his last couple of weeks. 



With no incentive to tank, we should see a few more weeks of their starters.



Donovan Clingan is an option if you were looking to trade Joker.

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



A number of great cheapies and cash generation targets have emerged over the last couple of weeks.



Both GG Jackson and Dylan Harper continue to make cash and remain solid buys.



Anthony Gill was the pick last week, and he’s still the pick this week. 



Set to rise close to 1 million, and another massive breakeven lock him in.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">POD’s and Super POD’s</h3>



Maxime Raynaud SAC &#8211; 13.9% owned



With Sabonis ruled out for the season, the big Frenchman finds himself in a major role on the Kings. 



Scored big last week, and that should continue.

Chet Holmgren OKC &#8211; 5.9% owned



Seems to pop up on this list every 2nd week. 



Consistent output and no SGA should mean big scores.



Jarrett Allen CLE &#8211; 0.4% owned



Exploded for 142 points last week as Mobley was eased back in. 



Probably a one-week play if you pull the trigger.
