*Keep an eye on Paul George’s status prior to lock. If he does not have any minutes restriction then he is worth a shot at only 7.6K.
Few ways to go tonight. Doncic, Young, Jokic and Giannis are the higher priced players on the slate. All in good spots tonight. I have all 4 projected at between 5-6x.
Trae Young
When you take Collins, Huerter and Carter off the floor Young’s usage goes up to 39.4%. He has been on fire over the past 3 games dropping over 30 real points, double digit assists and 60 FPs. The Suns have been solid defensively, but Young should still should still shine.
VALUE
SHOOTING GUARDS
Lou Williams
Beverly, Shamet and Leonard are all out tonight, but the Clippers are expecting Paul George to play tonight. I would think he would be on some sort of minutes restriction in his first game back. Williams usage up over 10% in usage to 41% over all with those 3 off the Court, but this is with out George on the court. So the usage will take some sort of hit. I still think Williams will have a big game tonight vs the faster paced Pelicans that are ranked 27th in defense.
JJ Redick
Playing well as of late 20+ real points in back to back games.
Delon Wright
Wright is under 4K on DK and has back to back 20 FPs games. Does not need to score to hit value. He does it all. Good spot.
VALUE
Tim Hardaway Jr.
THJ gets a second shot at his former team this time back in New York. Last game he shot 5-15 and put up 19 FPs. The shot attempts were there and I can see him stepping it up a bit more tonight on the court he played most of last year. Double digit shot attempts and 3rd highest usage rate on the Mavs. Can see him putting up a solid game and at least hitting value tonight with potential for 6x at low ownerships.
Donte DiVinceonzo
Should pick up some additional minutes tonight with Middleton out. 3.1K and has 2- 30+ FP games. Should have low ownership.
*E’Twaun Moore
Good spot tonight with No Ingram, Hart or Okafor. Low ownership play that has 6x upside
SMALL FORWARDS
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Excellent spot for him, but highest priced player on the board. Value plays in this article to go along with him if you choose to Giannis.
VALUE
Kendrich Williams
Williams has played well while in the starting lineup. Last 3 games where he played over 20 minutes he put up 30 FPs in 3 of them.
POWER FORWARDS
Kristaps Porzingas
Porzingas just dropped 50 FPs vs this Knicks team a few game ago. Tonight he plays back in New York with a lower price tag.
Derrick Favors
Pelicans will be short players again tonight, so we should see Favors play solid minutes. High upside with 25+ minutes.
VALUE
JaMychal Green
Playing very well as of late with back to back double/doubles. Good matchup.
CENTERS
Nikola Jokic
Centers vs the Nets. Jokic price down on DK. Largest pace differential on the slate for the Nuggets.
Motrezel Harrell
No Kawhi, Beverly or Shamet. Harrell should shine vs the Pelicans in a pace up spot.
VALUE
Alex Len
Len came off the bench last game and played 22 minutes for a season high 17 points and 7 rebounds. Tonight he gets a shot vs his former team in the Suns and could shine again. I can see him stepping it up some tonight in a pace up spot. Also, the Suns weak point is vs opposing centers as the rank 23rd. Price is down to 3.6K on DK and can see him coming in at low ownership tonight.
