NBA Daily Notes: The Rockets seem to be back to their best; Top fantasy picks for January 8th

PF 2 - Domantas Sabonis (Indiana Pacers):

Even though the Pacers' starting lineup doesn't feature Domantas Sabonis most of the time, he still is a really big part of this team.

Indiana Pacers are an elite team in the Eastern Conference

Sabonis has been a killer player for the Indiana Pacers, his efficiency is 2nd to none in the NBA. He is an elite scorer and rebounder as well and yet does not get as many minutes as he is making a case for. He is averaging 15 points per game, with just under 10 rebounds and 3 assists as well. He also manages to get a combined block and steal per game, which is very useful.

In the game against the Raptors, Sabonis had 16 points, along with 11 rebounds, and 6 assists as well. His rise has truly been phenomenal and the Pacers will hope his form continues tomorrow as well, against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Alternate pick: John Collins (Atlanta Hawks)
