## Tonight's Slate

- CLE @ ORL
- TOR @ NO
- NY @ UTAH
- HOU @ DEN
- CHA @ SAC
- MIN @ LAC

## Pick 1: Brandon Ingram (SG) - TOR @ NO (Away)

Top-5 DVP in 3 categories

- **Points:** 1st in league (24.7 avg allowed)
- **3-Pointers Made:** 3rd in league (3.6 avg allowed)
- **Assists:** 4th in league (5.5 avg allowed)

Brandon Ingram has the night's widest mismatch - NO is hemorrhaging stats to SGs in 3 categories. On points, NO is hemorrhaging - 1st in the league at 24.7 PPG allowed to SGs. The assists line is worth a look too - NO allows 5.5 APG to SGs (4th in league). 3 exploitable categories makes this a natural PRA combo play.

## Pick 2: Mikal Bridges (SF) - NY @ UTAH (Away)

Top-5 DVP in 3 categories

- **Assists:** 1st in league (5.7 avg allowed)
- **3-Pointers Made:** 1st in league (3.2 avg allowed)
- **Points:** 2nd in league (26.3 avg allowed)

Strong matchup for Mikal Bridges: UTAH ranks bottom-five in 3 categories against SFs. UTAH allows the 2nd most points to SFs (26.3 PPG) - the points over is the primary angle. A 3-category mismatch opens up PRA and combo prop angles.

## Pick 3: Jalen Brunson (PG) - NY @ UTAH (Away)

Top-5 DVP in 4 categories

- **Points:** 1st in league (27.2 avg allowed)
- **3-Pointers Made:** 2nd in league (3.8 avg allowed)
- **Steals:** 2nd in league (2.2 avg allowed)
- **Blocks:** 3rd in league (0.8 avg allowed)

Look at Jalen Brunson's matchup: UTAH surrenders bottom-five numbers to PGs across 4 categories. 27.2 PPG allowed to PGs puts UTAH at 1st in the league - clear points-over territory. When a defense is this porous across 4 stats, PRA combos are the move.

## Honorable Mentions

- **Josh Hart** (SG) - NY vs UTAH, top-5 DVP in 4 categories, best rank: 1st
- **OG Anunoby** (PF) - NY vs UTAH, top-5 DVP in 2 categories, best rank: 1st
- **Moussa Diabaté** (C) - CHA vs SAC, top-5 DVP in 3 categories, best rank: 2nd
- **Kevin Durant** (SF) - HOU vs DEN, top-5 DVP in 2 categories, best rank: 1st
- **Jabari Smith Jr.** (PF) - HOU vs DEN, top-5 DVP in 1 category, best rank: 2nd

Josh Hart was close. UTAH's weakness in 3-pointers made, points, assists, rebounds is real, but the overall mismatch wasn't quite as broad as tonight's top three.

## Before You Lock

Check the [Defense vs Position dashboard](/nba/defense-vs-position) for full 1-30 rankings at every position and stat. Confirm lineups before tip - if a starter is resting or injured, the backup may not exploit the matchup the same way. Stack DVP mismatches with recent form and pace-of-play for the strongest angles.
