The Wizards take on the Heat on Monday and will notably be without Jordan Poole. That leaves a notable amount of usage and field goal attempts for fellow Wizards to soak up, and I’m eyeing Bilal Coulibaly.
Poole missed the most recent game and Bilal went for 17 points and notably took 18 field goal attempts, including 11 from three.
With Poole and Kuzma (now traded) off the court this season, Coulibaly’s usage jumps 3.3 percent, leading to the RotoGrinders projection for 16.8 points.
Also helping is that the Heat defense has been very poor since the trade deadline. They have the 23rd-ranked defense over that time, with a net rating of 116.2 that matches the Hawks, for comparison, over that stretch.
Pick: Bilal Coulibaly Over 14.5 Points (+100)

With Domantas Sabonis out for the time being, there are plenty of spots to look at when it comes to the Kings.
DeMar DeRozan is one whose stats pop with Sabonis off the court. His usage has gone up 1.9%, and his assist rate has jumped by 5.2%.
Even sharing the court with new teammate Zach LaVine hasn’t slowed down those jumps, and this Mavericks team is a pedestrian defensive team as is.
I am including rebounds here because I also think there’s a possibility of Dallas and Sacramento –with their current injuries– both playing small and allowing plenty of open rebounds for their wings.
Pick: DeMar DeRozan Over 31.5 Points, Rebounds, & Assists (-115)
[subheader sizedown=”false” text=”Jaren Jackson Over 23.5 Points (-125)” subtext=”Hawks vs Grizzlies, 8:00 p.m. ET” center=”false” logo1url=”https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nba/100/mem.png” link1=”https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/odds/memphis-grizzlies” link1follow=”true” logo2url=”” link2=”” link2follow=”true” trailinglogourl=”” trailinglink=”” trailinglinkfollow=”true”][/subheader]
Jaren Jackson gets a great spot going up against the Hawks in what should be a high-scoring game (252.5 total).
These teams rank No. 1 and 2 in pace, and the Hawks are near the bottom of the league in defense. They have also allowed the 5th-most points in the paint and 4th-most points to power forwards this season.
Jackson should be in for a massive game regardless of if Ja Morant plays, and if Morant misses, Jackson is going to eat up a ton of usage.
Pick: Jaren Jackson Over 23.5 Points (-125)
