Tuesday with 6 games and some early news. Joel Embiid, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo & DeMarcus Cousins have been ruled out. This opens up a lot of solid plays and value.
It is getting late in the NBA season with some teams out of playoff contention. This could throw off some of the minutes. Also we could see more players being ruled out later in the day.
Over the last month the Rockets have been stellar on defense as they rank 6th defensively.
POINT GUARD
Stephen Curry
Curry our up 64 and 54 FPs against the Wolves last 2 times out.
Kemba Walker
Walker has dominated the Sixers in the 3 games he played them so far this year. He put up 81, 56 & 60 FPs scoring 60, 30 & 37 real point taking 34, 29 & 31 shots. Hornets are still fighting for a playoff spot, so we could see Kemba close to 40 minutes.
Chris Paul
Under priced on DK.
Eric Bledosoe
No Giannis, so Bledsoe and Middleton should run this show.
VALUE
Alex Caruso
Caruso has put up 30 or more FPs in 3 straight games (35, 30 & 30), while playing 26.5, 24.5 & 27,8 minutes. His price is still in range where he can put up 10x on DK at only 3.6K. LeBron James has been ruled out, so I could see Caruso playing similar minutes if not more tonight.
Tyus Jones
Should get over looked tonight with some of the other PGs on the slate.
SHOOTING GUARD
Jimmy Butler
Playing well as of late. Back-to-back 45 FP games. Slight increase in usage with Embiid out.
James Harden
Spencer Dinwiddie
Excellent spot for Dinwiddie tonight as he faces the Nets who rank dead last against opposing PGs over the past month.
VALUE
Joe Harris
Corey Jospeh
SMALL FORWARD
Kevin Durant
Price is down on Durant.
Khris Middleton
Jeremy Lamb
VALUE
Pat Connaughton
POWER FORWARD
Kyle Kuzma
Nice bump in usage with James out.
Draymond Green
Green in a good spot with a boogie out.
VALUE
Ersan Ilyasova & Nikola Mirotic
These 2 will pick up some extra minutes tonight with Giannis out. Mirotic will most likely start.
**Bagley and Sabonis have some risk but also posses some very solid upside at their current prices. They both have elite matchups and see them coming in at pretty low ownership, so worth a look for a contrarian play.
Marvin Bagley
Bagley could hit value in 20 minutes vs Nets. If he gets 25-28 then we could see the upside.
Domantas Sabonis
CENTER
Karl-Anthony Towns
Towns has put up a 40% usage rate over the past few weeks.
Miles Turner
Crush spot for Turner tonight. Both him and Sabonis in excellent spots. Would only play one in each lineup tonight.
VALUE
Boban Marjanovic
Embiid has been ruled out already, which should open up a start and some additional minutes for Boban. He has averaged 1.4 FPPM and could see close to 20 minutes tonight. If Boban starts he is pretty close to a free square at only 4.1k. Boban should have no problem with the Hornets bigs. DK ONLY
Mike Muscala
Muscala is starting for LeBron James tonight and is only 3K. He should pick up some ownership tonight.
Building Blocks (Core Players)
The rest of this lineu will be filled in with plays from this article. I will have some of either Bagley or Sabonis in my lineups as well. They both possess upside with low ownership and are both have excellent matchups
