J.Pickett o7.5 Rebs+108
1u
At FD: Pickett may get a little less shooting usage here as Northwestern forces teams to shoot from three. That means more rebound opportunities if he's shooting less, and also more rebound opportunities simply because threes are less likely to go in than twos. In addition, Northwestern isn't a good rebounding team, and they neither draw fouls nor commit fouls themselves, they are a poor shooting team and a have shooting defense, so there's plenty of extra rebounding opportunity. I have Pickett projected for 8.3 boards, so plus money is nice.
A.Funk u10.5 Pts-115
1.15u
At FD: Funk hasn't cracked his year-long 16.9% possession usage in each of the last 6 games, which seems to be a systematic change with the Nittany Lions' transition to their current starting five. In these 5 games with this starting lineup, Funk has averaged 32.8 minutes. Even with a generous 34.5 minute projection I'm only getting Funk at just under 9 points.
