Expect Victor Oladipo To Start A Wild West Shootout Versus Utah
7 years agoExpect a shootout in Utah favoring Victor Oladipo. Oladipo is averaging 24.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in a career season. He is also in the top 15 overall in player efficiency rating and field goal attempts per game. He will be guarded by Donovan Mitchell, a strong Rookie of the Year candidate who is averaging 18 points per game, but a rookie nonetheless that is in the middle of the pack among guards for defensive efficiency. We expect Oladipo to shoot it out with Mitchell, as the rookie guard for Utah is leading his team in shots attempted per game. Oladipo should bounce back from the low fantasy points he produced versus Phoenix and Cleveland. In those games, he averaged 18 points on a combined 32 shots. He has had two total assists in his last two games after averaging four per game for the season, so expect more assists from him as well. All said, Oladipo is a considerable play for DFS formats.
