Bottom-five in 3 categories against SGs. NO allows the 1st most points to SGs (24.6 PPG) — the points over is the primary angle. NO concedes the 4th-most assists to SGs at 5.5 APG — solid combo angle. A 3-category mismatch opens up PRA and combo prop angles. Home court adds a small but consistent edge. ## Pick 2: Jarace Walker (SF) — IND @ LAL (Away) Top-5 DVP in 2 categories - **Points:** 1st in league (26.7 avg allowed) - **3-Pointers Made:** 5th in league (3.0 avg allowed) LAL's weakness against SFs (bottom-five in 2 categories) makes Jarace Walker a strong target. LAL allows the 1st most points to SFs (26.7 PPG) — the points over is the primary angle. ## Pick 3: LeBron James (PF) — IND @ LAL (Home) Top-5 DVP in 2 categories - **Points:** 3rd in league (23.9 avg allowed) - **Rebounds:** 3rd in league (10.7 avg allowed) Another matchup worth targeting: LeBron James vs. IND, who are weak against PFs across 2 categories. IND allows the 3rd most points to PFs (23.9 PPG) — the points over is the primary angle. The rebounding angle is live — 10.7 RPG allowed to PFs (3rd in the league). Being at home doesn't hurt either. ## Honorable Mentions - **Miles Bridges** (PF) — CHA vs MIA, top-5 DVP in 2 categories, best rank: 1st - **Neemias Queta** (C) — BOS vs DAL, top-5 DVP in 3 categories, best rank: 3rd - **Kon Knueppel** (SG) — CHA vs MIA, top-5 DVP in 2 categories, best rank: 1st - **Alperen Sengun** (C) — HOU vs POR, top-5 DVP in 3 categories, best rank: 1st - **Andrew Nembhard** (PG) — IND vs LAL, top-5 DVP in 1 category, best rank: 1st Miles Bridges just missed the cut. The PF benefits from MIA's leaky defense in rebounds, points but didn't accumulate enough multi-category depth. ## Before You Lock Check the [Defense vs Position dashboard](/nba/defense-vs-position) for full 1-30 rankings at every position and stat.
