NBA Point Streak: Safe, Flex & Trap Oct 29

Safe Pick: Donovan Mitchell (CLE vs ATL)
86% chance of 20+ | Floor 22 | Expected 28 | Pop ~30%
Primary scoring option with consistent early-season volume (24.8 PPG). Strong floor against Atlanta.
What could go wrong: Blowout or foul trouble.
Worth saving? Yes – elite volume and reliability.

Flex Pick: Ja Morant (POR vs MEM)
72% chance of 20+ | Floor 16 | Expected 22 | Pop ~18%
Upside play in the shared backcourt with Lillard. Capable of big scoring bursts when featured.
What could go wrong: Shared usage with Lillard limits volume.
Worth saving? Maybe – only if you need upside and can accept the variance.

Trap Pick: Zach LaVine (SAC @ NOP)
65% chance of 20+ | Floor 15 | Expected 24 | Pop ~20%
High PPG (27.3) creates name-value temptation, but the Kings are 0-4 with a depleted supporting cast. Elevated risk of a low-scoring night or blowout.
What could go wrong: Depleted roster, inefficiency, or limited role in a competitive game.
Worth saving? No – low floor on a struggling team.
