Fantasy basketball picks and betting tips for Wednesday's NBA slate - ESPN

The NBA will get Thanksgiving Day off, which means Wednesday night's games will be the only action between the Tuesday and Friday NBA Cup outings. There will be a whopping 14 games on tap on Wednesday, making it one of the busiest nights of the season. This is also another night where there may be less need for streamers since most fantasy hoops managers will have their entire rosters at their disposal.

Some games immediately catch. The Timberwolves face off against the Kings; the last time they played was an overtime classic where the two teams combined for 256 points and two players combined to score 96 of those points. Jalen Brunson returns to Dallas for his current Knicks squad to face his former team. We get another Wemby vs. LeBron matchup, which could one day be considered historic in a «best players of two eras clashed» kind of way. And the Thunder and Warriors battle for the top spot in the Western Conference, a sentence very few people would've expected to read entering the season.

Here are the fantasy streamers and betting angles to know about for this Thanksgiving Eve slate.

Ty Jerome, Cleveland Cavaliers (Available in 79.3% of ESPN leagues)

Jerome has been a huge contributor in the Cavaliers backcourt of late. In his past four games, two starts and two off the bench, he has averaged 22.3 PPG, 5.0 APG, 3.8 3PG, 2.3 RPG and 1.3 SPG in 27.8 MPG. With Caris LeVert out, Jerome is relied upon as an important perimeter scorer and offense creator for the Cavaliers.
