Notes
Grizzlies/Wizards game: crush spot for both teams.
This game has a 240 total, 2 of the worst defensive teams Grizzlies (24th) Wizards (28th) and will run at the fastest pace on the slate. My favorite game of the night and good place to start targeting players.
*Also the Heat are in a good spot bs the BlaZERs tonight
*Favorite plays at each position are in bold.
POINT GUARDS
Ja Morant
Morant has been underwhelming over the past 4 games not breaking the 30 FP Mark. These games got out of hand, which limited his minutes. Tonight he faces one of the worst defensive teams, especially against the PG position. Also, the Wizards run at the 6th fastest pace while the Grizzlies run at #7. This game has the fastest over all pace in the slate tonight, which increases fantasy value. It also has the highest total and a close spread. Could see an upside game for Morant tonight.
Other options:
Russell Westbrook- close 2nd to Morant. With Capela out Harden picks up the most usage but Westbrook has been playing well as of late and gets a big boost on the rebounding end.
Goran Dragic
VALUE
Colby White
DeAndre Melton
SHOOTING GUARDS
Lou Williams
I was all over Williams last night in the ideal matchup vs the Timberwolves. His shot has been of as of late shooting 30% over the last 3 games. Bounce back spot for him tonight again other Cavs who rank dead last vs opposing PGs and SGs. We could see either Leonard or Gearge sit on a back-to-back.
Also Consider:
Bradley Beal
CJ McCollum
VALUE
Duncan Robinson
Jordan Clarkson
SMALL FORWARDS
Joe Ingles
Ingles took a small step back with the return of Mike Conley. His price is down to under 5k and gets an excellent matchup in a pace up spot. This is where I like to target Ingles where he can run up and down the court and get his shot off. This also helps his defensive stat bonus. He is still playing over 30 minutes a game.
Paul George
Bojan Bogdanovic
VALUE
Kyle Anderson
POWER FORWARDS
Davis Bertans
Bertans is back playing 30 plus minutes and taking double digit shot attempts. 30 + FPs in the last 2 games. Nice pace up spot for him where he can let the 3 ball fly.
Also consider
Bam Adebeyo
John Collins
VALUE
Jae Crowder
CENTERS
Hassan Whiteside
Whitesie gets another chance against his former team and coach. A little incentive to but up 20/15 with 5 blocks. Playing very well the year mag got a slight price decrease.
Also consider
Jonas Valancuinas
VALUE
Ivaca Zubac
Kelly Olynyk
