9 game slate.
Wizards/Cavs game. Ranked 28th and 29th on defense. Best over all matchup on the board tonight.
NOTES:
Notable players out today: Damian Lillard, Karl-Anthony Towns, Kemba Walker, Mike Conley & Elfrid Payton.
*Iam Mahinmi & Thomas Bryant are both questionable. If one or both sit Moritz Wagner becomes an excellent play.
POINT GUARDS
D’Angelo Russell
D Russ is in a similar situation on the Wolves as he was on the Warriors. Towns is out and last game he had a 35% usage rate. Usually plays well vs Celtics.
Luka Doncic-price has come down to right around 10k. Tougher matchup, but I don’t think Doncic will have any trouble tonight.
Kyle Lowry– plays a ton of minutes and has played very well as of late. Priced down a bit.
VALUE
Anfernee Simons– no Dame, so Simons should start and play 30 plus minutes. Priced at only 3.5K on DK which is hard to pass up against the Pelicans. Priced more accordingly on FD.
Malik Beasley– taking close to 20 shots a night.
Alex Caruso– only 3.2K and gets an elite matchup. Risk/Reward play that will come in at 1-2% ownership.
SHOOTING GUARDS
Bradley Beal– elite matchup for Beal. Has been taking between 20-30 shots a night.
DeMar DeRozan– dropped 50 FPs on the Jazz not too long ago. Priced under 7k.
CJ McCollum– no Dame tonight, so McCollum gets the biggest bump. DK did not price him accordingly.
VALUE
Jalen Brown
Brown is in the value section because he is under priced. Under 6k for Brown with his 28% usage wi the Walker off the court is too low.
Jordan Clarkson
SMALL FORWARDS
Kelly Oubre– Raptors have been solid on defense this year, but the one place to attack them is at the SF spot.
Brandon Ingram– Ingram is under 7K on DK and playing against one off the worst defensive teams.
VALUE
Joe Ingles– Ingles plays well when Conley is out. Gets to run the point more and assist rate goes up. Has been in a shooting slump but with the All-Star break he will come out fresh.
Carmelo Anthony– no Dame means more shots for Melo. Price is right.
POWER FORWARDS
Serge Ibaka
Ibaka is playing over 30 minutes a game and gets an elite matchup tonight.
Anthony Davis– no one on the Grizzlies can stop him.
Juan HernanGomez
VALUE
Kyle Kuzma
Excellent matchup.
Nassir Little
CENTERS
Nikola Jokic
Jokic played the Thunder in early December and dropped 70 FPs with a fully healthy team. One are to attack the Thunder is at the center position.
Dwight Howard– playing well as of late and gets a very good matchup in a pace up spot.
VALUE
James Johnson– starting at center for the Wovles. Celtics struggle with Bigs.
Norlens Noel– punt play at only 3k on DK. Any night can play 10-15 minutes and put up 20+ FPs.
