Pratt’s Play of the Day (November 17)
Jalen Brunson
Brunson has been a steady presence off the bench for Dallas this season, averaging a career-high 15.1 points, 4.7 assists and 4.4 rebounds per game. With Luka Doncic (ankle) set to miss some time, the Mavericks will be looking for players to step up and handle an increased offensive workload, and Brunson fits the bill. The Villanova product has been effective this season when he sees an increased usage rate, which will absolutely be the case with Doncic sidelined. Brunson has tremendous value at $5,700 against a Suns team that ranks 27th in DKFP allowed to guards.
