Pratt’s Play of the Day (October 29)
Cole Anthony
Considering the Magic drafted Jalen Suggs and R.J. Hampton has emerged as a solid rotational player, Anthony’s prospects weren’t too bright heading into the 2021-22 campaign. However, the 2020 No. 15 overall pick appears determined not to be overlooked in Orlando’s backcourt. Anthony has scored 40+ DKFP in two of his last three games, including a dominant 66.5-point performance against the Knicks on Sunday. The UNC product racked up an impressive 24-6-5 stat line vs. the Hornets Wednesday with a season-high 28.2% usage rate. At $6,500, you need Anthony in your lineups vs. Toronto.
