It is Friday and trades deadline has passed, so we have a bit less to worry about with players being ruled out due to trade. A few teams that peak my interest with pace up spots and closer spreads. The Cavaliers get the biggest pace bump on the night at +6.8 and have a few players that I am interested in. Colin Sexton & Larry Nance. The Nuggets get the next highest bump in pace and that is a +5.8 increase. Another pace up spot is the Heat and they get a +5.1 bump. The Cavs and Heat are both in good spots and provide some solid value tonight,
**Heat & Cavs get a nice bump in pace and play against sub par teams. Both teams provide some solid value tonight.
*Few areas to look for for tonight
-Wolves(Rose, Teague & Bayeless are all listed as questionable)If all 3 sit the Isaiah Canaan would see an increase in minutes. If any of these 3 play they become a solid option against a Pelicans team that runs fast and does not play much defense. Also, if Rose & Teague sit out then KAT & Wiggins become elite plays.
-Suns(Booker)If Booker sits out then Josh Jackson and DeAndre Ayton become solid plays as they both pick up some of his usage. They also both played solid minutes last game in a blowout.
POINT GUARD
Eric Bledsoe
Kris Middleton has been ruled out and Bledsoe picks up some additional usage with a bump of +6%. Also, he has played well over the past 4 games posting 40 FPs or more. Nice matchup vs the Mavericks tonight.
Ben Simmons
Dennis Smith Jr.
In his 2nd game as a Knick DSJ played 40 minutes and posted 39 FPs vs the Pistons. He gets the same ma
Tomas Satoransky
Satoransky has filled in well for Wall. He is an above average rebounder and solid passes. Posted his first triple/double earlier this year. Love this spot for him tonight vs the Cavaliers.
VALUE
Colin Sexton
Sexton went off last game vs the Celtics and I was on him once I saw that Hiod was gone. Increase usage, cheap price and excellent matchup makes him a very play.
Tyler Johnson
Johnson was traded to the Suns and the coach already inserted him into the starting lineup. Cheap price and potentially solid minutes puts him in play. If Booker does sit then Johnson gets a bump.
SHOOTING GUARD
Klay Thompson
Warriors Play the Suns tonight in what should be an easy game go them. Thompson is a cheaper option to get some exposure to the Warriors. Playing well over the last 2 games and can see him hitting value in 28-30 minutes.
Andrew Wiggins
Pace up spot against the Pelicans tonight. Rose is already ruled out and Teague is listed as questionable. In a good spot now and even better if Teague site out. He could shoot well over 20 times tonight.
Luka Doncic
This kid just plays better and better each game. Hard to fade him right now. Questionable as of now, so keep and eye on status.
VALUE
Luke Kennard
No more Bullock or Stanley Johnson. Kennard will see a bump in minutes. Nice matchup tonight vs the Knicks.
Damyean Dotson
Starting again tonight and still a decent price.
Dwayne Wade
Heat get a nice bump in pace and excellent matchup. They also traded away Tyler Johnson so Wade should see some time at Pg.
SMALL FORWARD
Giannis Antetounmpo
Giannis in play if you can afford him tonight. Solid matchup and bump in usage with Middleton out. Don’t see anyone hat can stop him on the Mavericks.
Justice Winslow
Pace up spot, decent price and should play some pint forward. Excellent matchup
VALUE
Tim Hardaway Jr.Â
Harrison Barnes is gone opening up more minutes for THJ!
POWER FORWARD
Anthony Davis
Risky Play due to his possible minutes limitation, but in a very good spot. Don’t think many will go to Davis making him a solid GPP play.
Lauri Markkanen
Excellent spot for Markkanen who has been playing well as of late. Portis and Parker are gone. Love playing Bigs vs Nets.
Blake Griffin
Crush spot for Griffin and don’t see anyone in Knicks that can slow him down.
VALUE
Kelly Olynyk
Playing very well as of late.
Dwight Powell
Bonny Portis
Portis only in play if he starts tonight.
CENTER
Karl-Anthony Towns
DeAndre Ayton
Hassan Whiteside
Pkaying more minutes as of late and in a crush spot.
VALUE
Robin Lopez
In play if he starts. Centers vs Nets.
Mason Plumlee
RISK/REWARD
TJ McConnell
Ed Davis
David NwabaA
