Pistons @ Cavs (-11) – 221.5

 

• Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland both game up on the injury report earlier today so this is news to watch as the day goes on. If both miss then we can look to target Ricky Rubio and Caris Levert as they both will see a boost in usage.This game starts at 7pm ET so we will get this news before lock.

 

• On the Pistons side there is not much to like as the Cavs play elite defense and also play at a slow pace. IF anything I would include Jalen Duren in my player pool but the match up is a very tough one.

 

Hornets @ Wizards (-4)- 235.5

 

• LaMelo Ball gets one of his best match ups  of the year against a Wizards team that hasn’t been able to slow down  guards all year. He is a strong option on both sites tonight.  Mason Plumlee also is in play as a low owned mid tier center tonight.

 

• We have news to wait on for the Wizards as Kyle Kuzma is trending towards being out tonight so this will open up more usage for Kristop Porzingis and Bradley Beal (If Active). I have alot of interest in Kristop as he should feast against an under sized Hornets front court.

 

Pacers @ Heat (-7)- 223

 

• Kyle Lowry is out once again tonight so this opens up some more minutes for Gabe Vincent,  he should start and is a tad bit under priced for his role. Bam Adebayo is who I want the most for the Heat tonight, The Pacers are just getting killed as of late inside the paint. This is a ceiling spot for Bam.

 

• Tyrese Haliburton is back for the Pacers so this hurts alot of guys usage. If playing 20+ lineups I would look at getting him in a few or possibly Buddy Hield.

 

76ers @ Celtics (-4.5)- 224.5

 

• Great real life game to watch but a brutal one for DFS. If anything I can see taking some shots at James Harden especially if Joel Embiid misses this one.

 

Spurs @ Raptors (-11)- 232.5

 

• Fred VanVleet is one of the best plays on the slate today. The Spurs play fast and have very little on-ball defense. Core option on both sites.  This is also a great spot for Scottie Barnes and *Precious Achiuwa  especially with the projected pace and weak the Spurs have been on defense as of late.

 

• On the Spurs side, Keldon Johnson has my interest the most but this would only be for large field GPPs. He is currently listed as questionable so we need to make sure he is active first.

 

Kings (-9) @ Rockets- 239.5

 

• De’Aaron Fox was off to a great game versus the Rockets last time they played but they had such a big lead he did not play his full amount of minutes. The match up is still great and Fox is a strong option on both sites, We would just need the game to stay close for him to reach his ceiling.

 

• Domantas Sabonis is also in a great spot and has triple double upside here. I would not roster them together though as I have concerns with how close this game can stay.

 

• Jalen Green has my only interest on the Rockets side and he would need one of his best games to keep this game close. If playing him I would for sure look to pair him with at least one of Fox or Sabonis as this game needs to stay close.

 

Wolves @ Jazz (-5.5)- 235

 

• Alot of news here to monitor as both sides may be involved in a trade that could leave both sides shorthanded.  I will update my thoughts on this game in the discord or on the lineup template page.

 

Mavs @ Clippers (-8)- 220.5

 

• Kyrie Irving’s first game as a Maverick, I am sure he will be firing up a lot of shots especially with Luka Doncic still out. I have interest in him as this is a good spot. Some of the cheaper guys in Jalen Green and  Reggie Bullock are in play for salary relief.

 

• This is a great spot for Kawhi Leonard and Paul George tonight especially with the Mavs best defender in Finley Smith being traded away. I would not roster them together but I actually like Paul George the most when you consider his price and ceiling.

 

Warriors @ TrailBlazers (-2.5)- 235

 

• Late night hammer as this game has the best game environment on the slate. On the Warriors side, Jordan Poole and Draymond Green have my interest the most tonight as they have the best match ups  Poole sees a big boost with Curry being out and is still priced well on both sites.

 

• Majority of the Trail Blazers will be low owned so I like taking some shots at Jerami Grant, Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons in GPPs.
