It is Friday and the NBA has 8 games.
Late night hammer- Bulls vs Clippers 229 total with a solid pace and neither team are great defenders.
**Wizards/Hornets game is another one to target as both teams run fast and lack a bit defensively.
POINT GUARDS
Kemba Walker
Fast pace game and nice price for Walker.
Rajon Rondo- ONLY if LeBron James sits out.
Elfrid Payton
Payton posted back-to-back triple/doubles and only a $100 increase in price on DK.
Kris Dunn
Beverly will most likely be on LaVine, which should open up Kris Dunn for some extra scoring. His price is still down on DK at 5.4k. Clippers are ranked 25th vs opposing PGs.
VALUE
Emmanual Mudiay
DSJ has been ruled out opening up more minutes for Mudiay. In his last game he played 32 minutes and posted 37 FPs. Nice matchup vs the Spurs as they rank 21st over the past 10 days vs PGs. Mudiay is averaging 1 FPPM on the year.
Ish Smith- Reggie Jackson(starting)
If Reggie Jackson plays with not restriction the Jackson is the play here at only 4.3K on DK, but if Jackson is out or limited the Ish Smith becomes and much better play vs Lakers. The matchup and pace bump is what we are targeting here Lakers rank 29th vs opposing PGs and the Pistons get a solid +4.7 bump in pace.
Austin Rivers
SHOOTING GUARDS
James Harden
Chris Paul has just been ruled out and Harden’s price is down to 11k. Hard to pass up vs the Suns where he has posted 72 FPs earlier this year. Excellent matchup and fast paced game. I will most likely be stacking Harden and Booker together.
Devin Booker
Tyler Johnson has been ruled out, so Booker will pick up some of the PG duty tonight. This gives him a nice bump in an excellent matchup now that Chris Paul has been ruled out.
Lou Williams
VALUE
Nicholas Batum
Batun put up 31 and 39 FPs vs the Wizards in his last 2 games.
Eric Gordon
SMALL FORWARDS
Trevor Ariza/Jabari Parker
Ariza if he plays Parker if Ariza is out
JJ Redick
** I am playing Layman in one of the SF spots
VALUE
Jake Layman
Blazers will be with out Harkless tonight, so we should see more Layman. Excellent matchup and my value play of the day.
Gerald Green
Darius Miller
POWER FORWARDS
Montrezl Harrell
Underpriced for his upside on DK.
Kyle Kuzma
Marvin Williams
Big game vs the Wizards last time out. Could see some additional minutes at the 5.
Bobby Portis
Riaky Play, but elite spot
VALUE
JaMychal Green
Moritz Wagner
James out, so we could see Wagner start. Played well last time he started.
CENTERS
Joel Embiid
Elite spot for Embiid tonight.
Andre Drummond
Elite matchup vs the Lakers.
Clint Capela
No Paul, so Capela gets a uptick in usage. Excellent matchup.
Jusif Nurkic
If you are looking for a center with low ownership for an mass multi-entry with 60 FP upside.
VALUE
Ivaca Zubac
Starts and playing well. Solid matchup value Bulls.
Juan Hernangomez
Only If he starts.
