Team vs Opponent Sheet(Team totals, Pace, OPP pace, Pace Differential, OPP team defense ranking and DvP for OPP)
POINT GUARDS
Damian Lillard
Dame is under 10k on DK and playing a ton of minutes and taking over 20 shots a game. Excellent spot vs the Kings tonight.
Goran Dragic
Winslow is out and a few others are listed as questionable. Dragic is playing the minutes and shooting the ball well again (16 shots the last 3 games). Herro out. Dragic very good spot now.
VALUE (Good amount of value options tonight).
Cory Joseph
Fox will be out for awhile and Jospeh should get the start and play the bulk of the minutes at PG. Cheap option that should be chalk tonight, but also should do well against the Blazers who rank 23rd vs opposing PGs.
Colby White & Kris Dunn
White has the 2nd highest usage on the team and he plays off the bench. Also taking a ton of shots and they will start falling again soon. Dunn does not rely on points as much as he gets rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. Both in good spot vs the Knicks tonight.
Time Frazier & Langston Galloway
Rose and Jackson are both out tonight leaving Frazier and Galloway to run the point. Frazier will most likely start and he is only 3K on DK, but has not played very well when on the court fantasy wise. At only 3.5K he is viable. Galloway is the one that has played well scoring double digit points in 7 straight and 25+ FPs in the last 3 games.
**Emmanuel Mudiay
Should be back for the Jazz and picks up a very good matchup vs the Nets. Only 3.1K on DK and should hit 15-20 FPs exceeding value. Should come in at under 5% ownership.
SHOOTING GUARDS
Devin Booker
Booker is going to have to step it up tonight if the Suns want to keep up with the Lakers. I can see him taking 20+ shots.
Bogdan Bogdanovic (SAC)
When you take Bagley and Fox off the floor Bogdanovic has the highest usage rate at 29.6%. He has been playing solid minutes as of late and should see 25-30 minutes tonight with the Kings down a few players. 20+ real points in 2 straight games along with a few peripheral stats. Good matchup tonight vs the Blazers who rank 23rd over all defensively and run at a faster pace.
VALUE
Gary Harris
30 + minutes and good matchup. Only 4.5K on DK.
Rodney Hood
Hoods price down to 3.4K on DK and back in the lineup. Nice matchup vs the Kings tonight who struggle vs SGs and SFs.
SMALL FORWARDS
Jimmy Butler
Butler is under priced in my opinion on DK and tonight with out Winslow and possibly a few others. He is in a good spot vs the Pistons who struggle to defend guards.
Will Barton
Barton is playing at a high lever right now. Double digit in rebounding 3 out of the last 4 games.
VALUE
Kyle Kuzma
Minutes in the rise and gets a solid matchup vs the Suns. His big game is coming soon. Double digits in shots in 2 of the last 3 games.
Joe Ingles
Ingles is down to 4.5k and playing around 25 minutes a game. Nice pace ups spot for the Jazz and he could see some additional minutes on a back to back in a fast paced game.
Dougie “Fresh” McDermott
The Pacers are down more players tonight, so we should se McDermott get solid minutes again. Sampson is starting and he will draw most of the ownership, but McDermott is a better shooter and has higher upside.
POWER FORWARDS
Domantas Sabonis
Sabonis is playing at a high level right now and hit value in 5 straight games. Pacers are down on bodies so he should play the minutes.
Richuan Holmes
Holmes looks like the perfect GPP option when you look at his stat lines. Excellent spot for him tonight vs the Blazers who rank 26th vs Centers and 21st vs PF. Last time out vs the Blazers he put up 21 FPs in 17 minutes. Holmes should see 25 plus minutes tonight.
VALUE
Bobby Portis
Robinson is out and this means Portis should play between 25-30 minutes. In the last 3 games vs his former team he Portis out you 52, 43 and 30 FPs. Steps up vs the Bulls and decent price tonight.
Kelly Olynyk OR Myers Leonard
This okay depends on if Olynyk is active or not. If he plays then Olynyk is a good vs the Pistons. If Olynyk sits out then i will have a lot of interest in Leonard tonight. Olynyk is a very good play.
CENTERS
Top Tier Centers: Andre Drummond, Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic.
*All 3 of these players are under 10k on DK. Drummond has the toughest matchup vs the Heat. Also, the Pistons are in a back-to-back and it is possible that Griffin sits out the 2nd game. Joel Embiid gets a good matchup vs the Cavs and he will be with out Al Horford tonight. Nikola Jokic is down to 8.3K on DK and this is mostly likely due to his average FPs of 42. (42\8.3=5). 5 is hitting value. This price is too cheap for someone of Jokic caliber against a team like the Hawks.
Rank: Jokic, Embiid, Drummond
Rudy Gobert
Gobert is facing the Nets and we attack the Nets with opposing Centers. Playing over 30 minutes a game and averaging a double/double.
Wendell Carter Jr.
Carter is just shy of averaging a double/double on the season hitting the mark 6 of 10 games this year. In his previous matchup vs the Knicks Carter Jr. posted 20/10 for 44.5 FPs. Good spot for him tonight vs the Knicks.
VALUE
Steven Adams
Adams is back tonight which should push Noel back to the bench. Nice matchup vs the Pacers tonight as the rank 24th vs opposing Centers. Adams is averaging 25 a game on the year and should exceed that tonight in this matchup hitting 6x+. Check his status before lock for any minutes restrictions.
Damian Jones
Jones picks up the start tonight for the Hawks vs the Nuggets who have been mediocre vs opposing centers. Nice spot to pay down tonight and good spot on DK in utilizing spot.
