8 game slate

*Giannis has been ruled out- Eric Bledsoe & Khris Middleton both get nice bumps in usage. They should also be very popular. I actually liked Middleton prior to the Giannis news. This is a very good matchup for both. Can also look at some of the other Buck players in this matchup. Lopez, DiVincenzo, Ilyasova, Matthews, Connaughton are all solid plays and underpriced for this matchup. Lopez, Ilyasova and Connaughton are my favorite of this bunch with Bledsoe & Middleton as top plays.

*If Porzingas sits out then Doncic becomes a good play.

 

POINT GUARDS

Trae Young

Young has been playing extremely well as of late, especially over the past 3 games(77,56,73). His 73 FPs performance came against the Raptors who he plays tonight.

Kemba Walker

Walker has taken over 20 shots with Tatum off the floor. If Tatum sits then Walker becomes an good play even against the Heat.

 

VALUE

Dante Exum

No Garland, so Exum should play some additional minutes. Has played decent and only 3.1K on DK.

George Hill/Donte DiVincenzo

 

SHOOTING GUARDS

Bradley Beal

Beal has put up over 20 shots and 50 FPs over the last 2 games.

Devin Booker

Booker has been on a tear lately and should go head to head with Doncic tonight.

 

VALUE

Seth Curry

Playing 30 + minutes a night as of late. Should have no problem getting shots off vs the Suns tonight.

Marcus Smart

Should step it up vs Butler tonight.

 

 

SMALL FORWARDS

Jimmy Butler

Butler plays well vs Celtics. Don’t think many will be on him and can see him playing well tonight.

Troy Brown Jr.

Tim Hardaway Jr.

 

VALUE

OG Anunoby

Price is down and still playing solid minutes.

Josh Hart

Excellent matchup and still playing minutes and well even with the Pelicans healthy.

Mikal Bridges

 

POWER FORWARDS

Pascal Siakam

Miniyes back up and playing well. Excellent matchup.

Kevin Love 

 

VALUE

Davis Bertans

Underpriced for his talent. Should do well, especially now with Giannis out.

Ersan Ilyasova

No Giannis Ilyasova should slide into the starting lineup.

 

CENTERS

Nikola Jokic

Playing at a high level with Murray off the floor. 2 triple doubles in the past 3 games. Grizzlies run fast and play poor defense.

DeAndre Ayton

Ayton has played in the mid to high 30s as of late. Love the matchup vs the Mavs who have struggled defending the center position as of late.

 

VALUE

Marc Gasol

Playing minutes and gets an elite matchup

Brook Lopez 

Giannis is out and everyone will jump on Bledsoe and Middleton and both are good plays. Lopez actually picks up a nice bump in usage. Also his is an excellent matchup for him at a reasonably price.
