FANTASYALARM THE DAILY ALARM

Good Morning!

Coop's framing this week is that everyone is in a different boat, undefeated or clinging to a life raft, so read the advice rather than the names. One thing is unambiguous though: Germie Bernard is a high-priority add at 50% or more of your FAAB, and nothing else on his board goes above 15%. Then the NBA tips off tonight, closing with a Western Conference Finals rematch.

Here's what you need to know today.

NBA POINTS PROP
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC)
Over 29.5 Points (-115)
NBA Opening Night wraps up with a Western Conference Finals rematch, so of course we already have a pick for it. In addition to that one, we also have a player prop that we love, and it's the stereotypical SGA spot. We expect this line to be back to the usual 32.5 or higher after their first few games, especially if the pieces around him stay healthy. His season ended with 35 against the Spurs, and he's going to want his revenge.

NHL REGULATION PICK
Montreal Canadiens
60-Minute Moneyline
The Habs are a -205 ML favorite, so we'll just clip off the OT and take them to win in regulation. The Sharks lost last night to the Leafs and are now on the second game of a back-to-back. Outside of Macklin Celebrini, San Jose just doesn't have the horses to keep pace tonight and their minus-9 goal differential leans into Montreal with the win in regulation.

Coop's Week 7 wire is above, and the one name worth real money is Germie Bernard at 50% or more of your FAAB; everything else on his board tops out at 15%. Terry McLaurin's injury and Davante Adams' ruptured hamstring have reshaped two more receiver rooms along the way. Then the season tips off: Celtics-Pistons, 76ers-Knicks and a Western Conference Finals rematch to close it out. Mark has Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over 29.5 points, a number he expects back above 32.5 within a few games, and Howard is taking Montreal to win in regulation against a Sharks side on the back half of a back-to-back. Good luck tonight.
