Here are my FanDuel picks for tonight’s Brooklyn Nets vs. Indiana Pacers matchup.

FanDuel Picks

MVP-Cam Thomas $14,000

Talented Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Cam Thomas has been posting some outstanding offensive numbers in 2024. Let’s dive into a recent sample size of Thomas’s recent statistical data to get a better idea of his recent performance on the basketball court. In the Brooklyn Nets last three games played, Thomas has averaged a whopping 32 points, 4 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 1 steal a game.

It should also be mentioned that Cam Thomas will be facing an Indiana Pacers defense that has had issues containing opposing shooting guards lately. In the last 7 games played in the NBA, Indiana is ranked 27th in total FanDuel points (51.6) allowed to the shooting guard position. Considering the fact that the NBA has a total of 30 teams in the entire league, 27th is not good.

There is no doubt in my mind that Thomas will post quality fantasy numbers versus this vulnerable Indiana Pacers defense tonight.

Star-Tyrese Haliburton $10,000

Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton has quickly ascended to one of the most talented guards in the NBA. Let me be more specific. In 75 games played this season, Haliburton has averaged 20.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 11 assists, and 1.2 steals a game. Clearly, the Pacers offense runs through Haliburton.

I fully expect Haliburton to continue his outstanding play versus the Nets this evening.

Pro-Myle Turner $11,500

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner has been a key contributor to the Indiana Pacers team this season. In his last three games played, Turner has averaged 15.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks a game.

Similar to Cam Thomas, Turner draws a Brooklyn Nets defense that has struggled to defend opposing centers recently. In the last 15 games played in the NBA, the Nets are ranked a rather low 21st in total FanDuel points allowed (56.04) to the center position.

Flex plays I like: Nic Claxton $12,000: Aaron NeSmith $9,500: Andrew Nembhard $8,500: Dorian Finney-Smith $8,000.
