Cavs (-2) @Wizards- 221.5
- Cavs are coming off of an easy win versus the Pacers last night, We should not see any guys rest but they have ruled out Ricky Rubio earlier today. Caris Levert is listed as questionable. If he does miss this would make Cedi Osman an interesting value play on both sites.
- Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland are in play for large field GPPs but I would rather target other guys later tonight if I’m only make a handful of lineups.
- Kyle Kuzma is out and Bradley Beal is questionable if he was to miss then we could possibly look at Delon Wright for value. This is a tough match up for Kristop Porzingis but he will see a small usage boost if Beal is out.
- Overall I do not have much interest in this game on either site.
Celtics (-11) @ Pistons- 230
- Huge spread in this game but we may get some value if Jaylen Brown is out. He was a late addition to the injury report today with an illness so this is news to monitor. If he was to miss then Derrick White and Jayson Tatum would become solid plays.
- Robert Williams is in a great spot versus an undersized Pistons team. He is very active on the boards and will block shots as well. It looks as if the field will look to spend up at Center or way down, if so getting Williams in the mid range is viable in large field GPPs.
- Not much to like on the Pistons side as this game does have blowout risk. Alec Burks sees the best match up on paper but I would only include him in lineups if I am making 20+. If Isiah Stewert is out then we can look at Saddi Bey for value.
Clippers (-7.5) @ Nets- 220.5
- Brooklyn will be shorthanded tonight as Seth Curry, Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons (Questionable) may be out tonight. Kyrie Ivring is also no longer with the team after being traded away yesterday. This is a team we can look at for value even in a tough match up versus the Clippers.
- Cam Thomas, Edmon Summer and Patty Mills have my interest the most and I plan to set a rule of a max of 1 per lineup.
- On the Clippers side, Kawhi Leonard is a little priced up for my liking but I do like grabbing some shares of Paul George at under 9K on both sites. Ivica Zubac is in play as well as a mid-tier Center option.
Kings(-5.5) @ Rockets 233.0
- 4th highest total game on the slate and the Kings are on a B2B so this one may stay competitive throughout. D’Aaron Fox is currently listed as questionable but I do think that he misses this game. If he does then Domantas Sabonis, Malik Monk and Harrison Barnes are in play.
- For value on the Kings we can look at Kevin Huerter and Keegan Murray as solid options but I would set a rule of max of 1 as its rare that both of these guys hit their ceilings together.
- On the Rockets side, the only guy that has my interest is Alperen Sengun. He has struggled as of late from a ceiling perspective but this is a solid spot for him to flash his upside and we should get him at low ownership as well.
Spurs @ Bulls (-11)- 239
- Second highest total on the slate as both teams are ranked in the top 12 in pace. The Spurs already ruled out Tre Jones so this gives Josh Richardson a nice boost. This game does have blowout risk so I do plan to set a max rule of 1 for all Spurs tonight as this game could get out of hand early.
- The Bulls are fully healthy but this is a great match up and they have one of the highest team totals on the slate. We can look at Zach Lavine, Demar Derozon and Nikola Vuc on both sites. I would also set a max rule of 1 per lineup as this game may not stay close enough for 2 or 3 of them to hit their ceilings together.
‘
Mavs @ Jazz (-9.5)- 222.5
- The Mavs will be shorthanded tonight due to them trading away Spencer Dinwiddle and Dorin Finley Smith last night. Luka Doncic is also still out but they do get back Christian Wood.
- Tim Hardaway Jr, Jaden Hardy, Christian Wood and Josh Green have my interest the most from the Mavs. I will most likely set a rule of max 2 per lineup as this will be one of the highest owned teams on the slate tonight.
- The Jazz are are a tough team to play when they are fully healthy but I can see taking a few stabs at Lauri Markenen and Jordan Clarkson as they can hit their ceilings if they get hot.
Thunder @ Warriors (-3.5)- 234
- The Warriors will be without Steph Curry for the next month and Jordan Poole will not start in his place. Both sites have not adjusted to his new role yet so he is one of the best plays on the slate especially on DK at 6.2K.
- Andrew Wiggins also sees a 3.4% usage boost with Curry out of the lineup and he is firmly in play as well on both sites. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green do not see as much of a usage boost but both are fine if making more than a handful of lineups.
- SGA continues to shine with Lu Dort out of the lineup and is a very strong spend-up play on both sites. If wanting to pivot off him in GPPs then Josh Giddey is a strong option on both sites at a much cheaper price tag. I do not have any interest in the cheaper guys from OKC as their minutes have been all over the place as of late.
Bucks(-4) @ TrailBlazers- 242
- Anytime we can get Giannis in a close spread game that will be played at a fast pace he is a clear top option on both sites. We have the value to spend up tonight so watching his ownership is very interesting as the day goes on. Jrue Holiday is fine as well but I would not play these two together unless I am game stacking this game.
- Damian Lillard has shot the ball really well as of late but this is a tough one on one match up versus Jrue Holiday. I do prefer some of the cheaper guards but if wanting to pair him up with Giannis in large field GPPs I am totally for it.
- Even with Nurkic being out I still do not have much interest in Eubanks or Waterford in this match up.
