The NBA season is starting to wind down and teams are sitting players. Keep an eye out.
Four teams still fighting for a spot to potentially make the playoffs. Grizzlies are holding down the 8th spot with the Blazers right behind. Suns and Spurs are also in the mix. All of these teams are playing today.
POINT GUARDS
Damian Lillard
The season is winding down and Dame wants a playoff spot, so he will do everything in his power to make that happen. In his two previous games vs the Mavs Lillard dropped 70 and 55 FPs respectively. With this being an important game expect Lillard to show up early and continue until the game ends.
Also consider Russell Westbrook with no Harden today.
VALUE
Markelle Fultz, Alec Burks, Patty Mills, Frank Mason
SHOOTING GUARDS
Buddy Heild
Welcome to the Buddy Heild show. The Kings are out and will be a resting Fox and a few other players tonight. This allows Heild to pick up more limited and take more shots. Heild loves to shoot and he should have no problem getting 20 shots off tonight. Last time these two teams met the Kings dropped 140 points and ran wild on the Pelicans. Both teams have nothing left to pay for so expect this game to play fast with no defense. Hield 50 burger. Possible if he gets the minutes. Shots will go up.
Devin Booker Suns need Booker to go off to keep them alive. He ain’t goin out like that!
Bogdan Bogdanovic(No Fox more usage to go around. Crushed in last matchup vs Pelicans)
VALUE
Donte DiVincenzo, Jerome Robinson,
SMALL FORWARDS
DeMar DeRozan
The Spurs still have a chance and it all lies on DeRozans to get them there. He is the leader of this team with Aldridge off the floor. Fast paced game against the 4th worse defensive team in the bubble. Rudy Gay should step up as well. Consider him.
Luka Doncic(reasonable price and think he goes back and forth with Dame)
VALUE
Justin Anderson, JJ Redick, Josh Hart, Gary Trent Jr.
POWER FORWARDS
Nicolo Meli
The Pelicans will be rearing three stars today Jrue Holiday, Brandon Ingram and Zion Wiliamson. This opens up more minutes and potentially a staring spot for Meli. When given the opportunity to play solid minutes Meli has produced. Prior to the break he was given 20 plus minutes and returned over 20 FPs per game. Nice matchup vs the Kings
today.
Nemanja Bjelica
Jusif Nurkic
VALUE
Brandon Clarke, Ersan Ilyasova , Marvin Williams, Harry Giles
CENTERS
Jonas Valancuinas
This is a big game for the Grizzles and would expect them to play at a high level. Valancuinas is coming off a poor performance and we have some other high end centers on the slate, so should expect lower ownership on him tonight. Good spot for Valancuinas and Clarke tonight as Bigs give the Celtics problems.
Thomas Bryant(Bucks have allowed the most FPs in the bubble).
Kristaps Porzingas
VALUE
Alex Len, Gary Clark, Robin Lopez.
