Finally get a nice slate for Tuesday with 8 games.
*Highest totals- Knicks/Warriors (230), Hornets/Clippers (230)
*One thing to understand about NBA is that players can be ruled out early in the day or right before/after lock, which’s can potentially change other players/plays or even the slate. Always keep and eye on for players ruled out. Check slack chat nba-news updates. The what if section below is geared to help with decisions if players that are listed as questionable early on potentially sit out.
Questionables- What ifs
*Darren Collison, Corey Joseph & Miles Turner are all listed as questionable for tonight’s game. If Collison sits out then Joseph becomes the play. If Collison and Joseph sit out then Aaron Holiday becomes an excellent value. If Miles Turner sits out then Domantas Sabonis becomes a nice value with a solid floor. While Kyle O’Quinn becomes a nice punt play as he is a high usage player with a 1.5 FPPM. Also, Tyreke Evans, Bojan Bogdanovic & Victor Olidipo will see an increase in usage with these players off the floor. Keep an eye on these players. Value and good plays could open up.
*Devon Booker is listed as day-to-day and if he sits TJ Warren and Josh Jackson get a nice bump in usage along with Deandre Ayton. Warrren and Jackson are the plays I am looking at. Booker listed as doubtful as of 3pm.
DvP chart over past 30 days
* Kings/Suns game has a lot of potential with 2 poor defensive teams and a fast pace.
Top Tier/10k players
Westbrook
Embiid
Towns
George
Durant
Curry
Jokic
Most is these guys are in play due to their higher floors. My preference tonight is Embiid. Westbrook is my 2nd option.
Core
De’Aaron Fox
Willie Cauley-Stien
Alec Burks
Otto Porter
Point Guard
De’Aaron Fox
Excellent spot for Fox tonight with price down and matchup vs the Suns.
Jeff Teague
Teague is playing very well since returning from injury posting 40 or more FPs in both games. Towns has a tougher matchup vs Adams, so Teague and Wiggins will need to add some additional scoring tonight.
Russell Westbrook
Shooting Guard
Bogdan Bogdonovic
Shumoert has been ruled out, so Bogdonivic should see 30 plus minutes in this solid matchup.
Andrew Wiggins
I can see Adams giving Towns some trouble so looking towards Wiggins and Teague tonight.
Alec Burks
No Hood. Plays Burks.
Small Forward
Danilo Gallinari
Otto Porter
Minutes limitation lifted. Price still low, good time to play him.
DeAndre Bembry
TJ Warren
Power Forward
Montrezl Harrell
Nemanji Bjelica
Marvin Williams
Josh Jackson if Booker sits
Center
Joel Embiid
No one to stop Embiid in the Wizards.
Willie Cauley-Stein
Bagley is out tonight. This is an excellent matchup for WCS along with a fairly cheap price. Suns have allowed the most FPs to opposing centers.
Willy Hernangomez & Bismack Biyombo
These guys have been splitting time for the most part. Looks like hit players gets the extra minutes. The Hornets might need Biyambo a bit more vs Gortat.
Tristan Thompson
Looks like TT is getting back into form.
Risk/Reward
Alex Len
Trey Burke
Jonas Jerebko
Dario Saric
Josh Jackson
TJ McConnel- Redick has been ruled out. Like McConnel more now
Kyle O’Quinn- Nice Punt with Turner out
Richard Holmes
Marcin Gortat- If starting
DeAnthony Melton If Booker is out
