NBA DFS: Ghost’s Gems 12/12

There are plenty of elite matchups on tonight’s NBA slate. However, the majority of the action resides in the latter part of the schedule. It’s a Mojito Monday edition of the Gems – let’s ride.

Be sure to use our proprietary NBA projections and cheat sheet to build your lineups as the news rolls in. Moreover, join the conversation in the Win Daily Discord to get the insight you need from both subscribers and staff.

Brooklyn Nets @ Washington Wizards (+5.5)

Brooklyn Nets (-5.5)

Back to back calls on Kyrie Irving has paid off in tournaments. On tonight’s NBA slate, he’s in another good spot. Over his last ten appearances, Kyrie has scored 20 or more in nine of ten. Moreover, he has averaged 25.2/4.4/4.5 on 51.3% shooting. With the absence of Royce O’Neale from the lineup, Kyrie becomes the primary three-point shooter as well. Washington currently ranks 28th in the league in three-point percentage allowed on 12.6 made attempts allowed per game. This play is for tournaments only, as I much rather get exposure to the next two games.

Washington Wizards (+5.5)

Exposure to the Wizards offense on tonight’s NBA slate depends on the availability of Bradley Beal. After leaving a game against the Lakers over a week ago, Beal has since missed three games and is questionable to play tonight. Should he be ruled out again, the trio of Kristaps Porzingis, Kyle Kuzma, and Deni Avdija will be in for another night of big minutes. The Wizards have been playing on an awfully short rotation this past week, and tonight may be the same case. Should Beal make his return, I’ll fade this game entirely to prioritize the next two.

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Portland Trail Blazers (-4.5)

Minnesota Timberwolves (+4.5)

Karl-Anthomy Towns remains out and there is a lot to like about the trio of Edwards, Gobert, and Russell. While Anthony Edwards has the highest ceiling of the three, his point/dollar upside isn’t ideal in this matchup. Rather, Gobert will be in for a big night against Jusuf Nurkic. Portland currently ranks 24th in the NBA in defensive rating. However, they have been exposed in the paint. Portland struggles mightily on both ends of the floor, ranking 24th in the league against true centers. Moreover, they are 22nd in points allowed in the paint per game. Gobert certainly won’t lead the team in touches, but his efficiency around the rim will be on display. Many shot takers in this game gives Gobert plenty of rebounding opportunity.

Portland Trail Blazers (-4.5)

If you are not fond of the studs in the next game, you should be fond of Damian Lillard in an elite game environment. Despite the acquisition of Rudy Gobert, Minnesota ranks 19th in the NBA in defensive rating. Moreover, they rank 27th against primary ball handlers. If that wasn’t enough for Lillard, Minnesota ranks 29th in three-point percentage allowed and 27th in three-pointers allowed per game. Over his last two games, Lillard has posted 30 or more points each time. He has averaged 38 points per game, chipping in 10 assists per night during that span as well. The shooting efficiency can always be an issue, but Lillard has attempted a whopping 28 three-pointers over his last two.

Boston Celtics @ Los Angeles Clippers (+3.5)

Boston Celtics (-3.5)

In the absence of both Al Horford and Robert Williams III, the trio of Tatum, Brown, and Smart will be tasked with heavy minutes tonight. First, Tatum has the highest ceiling of the three, but is tough to fit in builds on this NBA slate. If you can, do so with confidence. Second, Brown has been one of the best shooting guards in the league this season. A model of consistency, Brown has scored 20 or more points in 23 of 25 appearances this season. Moreover, he is second on the team in usage rate at 31.2% while averaging 26.8/7.2/3.6 on 50.1% shooting. Lastly, Smart has a safe floor but low ceiling. He is in a great spot as a ball handler versus the Clippers and is easier to fit in midrange builds. Moreover, Smart has five or more assists in his last twelve games, averaging 13.7/3.3/8.2 on 49.2% shooting during that span.

Los Angeles Clippers (+3.5)

It might be time to finally deploy Kawhi Leonard with confidence on an NBA slate. This certainly won’t come with any risk, given that he has been in and out of the lineup since returning from a torn ACL. However, he has played 30 minutes in back-to-back appearances. Moreover, with Boston being without both Al Horford and Robert Williams III, a smaller Celtics lineup may force the Clippers to do the same, resulting in more rebounding opportunity for Leonard. If you’re uncertain of Leonard, then Paul George is one of the better targets in a thin Clippers offense. PG13 has averaged 32.5/7.5/6.5 on 48.9% shooting in his last two games and will be relied upon heavily tonight.

NBA DFS: Ghost’s Gems 12/09

DFSGhost 2 years ago

written by DFSGhost

Tonight’s NBA slate is one of the most interesting ones of the season. There are plenty of studs going head to head, while many will fly under the radar despite elite performances lately. It’s a Fajita Friday edition of the Gems – let’s ride.

Many key players are currently listed as questionable. Should they sit out, the slate can be altered in a drastic way. Thus, be sure to use our proprietary NBA projections and cheat sheet to build your lineups as the news rolls in. Moreover, join the conversation in the Win Daily Discord to get the insight you need from both subscribers and staff.

Washington Wizards @ Indiana Pacers (-5.5)

Washington Wizards (+5.5)

Kristaps Porzingis will be completely overlooked on this NBA slate. However, he shouldn’t be. Over his last five games, KP has been on an absolute tear. The Wizards big man has averaged 28.8/10.4/2.6 on 50% shooting during that span, while scoring 20 or more points in every appearance. Moreover, he leads the team with a 30.3% usage rate. A tough matchup looms against Myles Turner, but he is listed as questionable. Should he miss this game, Porzingis is set to dominate the paint on both ends of the court. However, Porzingis himself is also questionable, making Kyle Kuzma one of the most popular plays on the slate if the former sits out.

Indiana Pacers (-5.5)

Without hesitation, Tyrese Haliburton is an elite play on this NBA slate. Similarly to Kristaps Porzingis, Haliburton will be overlooked considering the number of studs on this slate. Over his last 14 games, Haliburton has posted double digit assists in 12 appearances with ten double-doubles. However, I also want to highlight Buddy Hield in the midrange of the pricing grid. Over his last three appearances, Hield has averaged 21.7/7.7/3 on 45.1% shooting, including 45.5% from deep. The Wizards currently rank 24th in the NBA in three-point percentage allowed on over 12 makes allowed per night.

Atlanta Hawks @ Brooklyn Nets (-6.5)

Atlanta Hawks (+6.5)

Despite the letdown at the Garden, Trae Young will be one of the most popular studs on this NBA slate. Not only is John Collins still out, but Dejounte Murray has been ruled out for the next two weeks and De’Andre Hunter is questionable to return to the lineup after a three game absence. On the season, Young leads the team with a 34.1% usage rate and has posted 1.31 fantasy points per minute. However, with Murray off the floor, Young sees increases to an outrageous 43.7% usage rate and 1.60 fantasy points per minute. A short memory is key in NBA DFS after poor performances and it certainly applies to Trae Young here tonight.

Brooklyn Nets (-6.5)

Exposure to the Nets offense is far from a must on tonight’s NBA slate. However, Kyrie Irving has massive upside in the midrange of the pricing grid. With the field likely flocking to a player in the same range as Irving in the next game, the Nets point guard will essentially go unrostered. In his last appearance, Kyrie turned in his first 30-point performance since October 29th. The sheer presence of Kevin Durant limits his ceiling, and with the return of Ben Simmons to the lineup, this is a pure tournament play only.

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Utah Jazz (-2.5)

Minnesota Timberwolves (+2.5)

The player referred to above is Anthony Edwards. Likely to be one of the most popular options on the NBA slate, be wary in this one. While Edwards has posted phenomenal statistics with Karl-Anthony Towns out over his last three games, the majority has come in unsustainable practice. Edwards has three straight games with 26 or more points while Towns has been out, averaging 27/4.7/5.7 on 48.3% shooting. However, he has topped 50 fantasy points in two of three games, large in part to his ridiculous 5.67 steals per game during that span. Moreover, Utah ranks 6th in the NBA in turnover percentage, taking care of the ball nearly every possession they can.

Utah Jazz (-2.5)

Exposure to the Jazz is already interesting with Collin Sexton ruled out. However, should Lauri Markkanen miss a second straight game, Jordan Clarkson and Malik Beasley will shoulder the load on offense. We need to take a wait-and-see approach here, but Utah is one of the most key injury reports to monitor on this NBA slate. Look for updates in Discord once we get confirmation on Markkanen and Mike Conley.

NBA DFS: Ghost’s Gems 11/21

DFSGhost 2 years ago

written by DFSGhost

This last week in the NBA resembles April basketball. Rotations have been depleted because of health and safety protocols, injuries, and load management. Tonight, multiple key players have already been ruled out, while others will surely join them by lock. It’s a Mojito Monday edition of the Gems – let’s ride.

Lately, injury reports are lengthly. Tonight, there are many stars missing in action with others questionable to play. Thus, be sure to use our proprietary NBA projections and cheat sheet to build your lineups as the news rolls in. Moreover, join the conversation in the Win Daily Discord to get the insight you need from both subscribers and staff.

New York Knicks @ OKC Thunder (-3)

New York Knicks (+3)

Things are not looking good for the Knicks. Despite being 8-9, this team looks to be in shambles on both sides of the ball. Now, on the second half of a back-to-back, they’re 3-point underdogs to the rebuilding Thunder. Despite their lack of success, this team has a ton of fantasy appeal tonight. No one is priced out of range, and the rotation’s inconsistent minutes makes for a high-risk, high-reward scenario. The duo of Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle figure to be relied upon heavily tonight. The Thunder currently rank 27th in the NBA versus big men, while Brunson gets a friendly matchup versus a backcourt that struggles to guard primary ball handlers. Moreover, with the inconsistent play of Isaiah Hartenstein and the return from injury of Mitchell Robinson, the Knicks will go smaller with Randle at the ‘5’, resulting in more minutes of Immanuel Quickley alongside Brunson.

OKC Thunder (-3)

Riddled with injuries, the Thunder are a rotation of interest on tonight’s NBA slate. With Tre Mann, Darius Bazley, and Aleksej Pokusevski all out, there is plenty to like in an elite game environment. First, the duo of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey are both firmly in play. Averaging 1.44 and 1.1 points per minute, respectively, the young backcourt offer immense upside against a Knicks defense that ranks 24th in the NBA. However, I also want to highlight Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. In the absences of both Bazley and Pokusevski, the young center will see the bulk of the minutes at the ‘5’. Moreover, he is averaging 16.54/8.27/1.44 per 36 minutes. If you cannot get exposure in the form of SGA or Giddey, there are multiple value options you should be considering.

Miami Heat @ Minnesota Timberwolves (-7)

Miami Heat (+7)

This is an injury report worth monitoring. In the last week, the Heat have been decimated with absences, requiring players on two-way contracts to meet the minimum eight players per game. Thus, Miami’s rotation will be a focal point until they get back to full health. Jimmy Butler remains out, while Gabe Vincent and Tyler Herro both missed last night’s game. Should this still be the case, a player to consider is Duncan Robinson. While both Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo will have higher usage rates and more looks on offense, their respective matchups are far from ideal. Minnesota currently ranks 23rd in the NBA in three-point percentage allowed and 29th in three-pointers made per game. With Robinson being one of the best pure shooters in the league, his ceiling is worth a look considering he is close to minimum salary.

Minnesota Timberwolves (-7)

Exposure to this offense will be tricky, but it’s a good spot. With Miami playing on a short rotation, Minnesota will be forced to tighten up their own. Thus, the trio of Towns, Gobert, and Edwards are enticing. Gobert has massive point/dollar upside, but his limited touches on offense keeps his production intact. Karl-Anthony Towns can put up a 30-point double-double at any given time, but his floor is simply too low. Consequently, Anthony Edwards is the priority. Sporting a team-leading 31.3% usage rate over his last two games, Edwards has posted a 30/6.5/5.5 scoring line on 46.3% shooting. Additionally, he has shot 39.1% from deep while taking 23 three-point attempts in the last two games. With Miami ranked 21st in the NBA in three-point percentage allowed and 28th in three-pointers made per game, Edwards has the potential to break the slate.

NBA DFS: Ghost’s Gems 11/11

DFSGhost 3 years ago

written by DFSGhost

It wouldn’t be a Friday in the NBA without one of, if not the league’s best player being ruled out 24 hours in advance of the slate. Moreover, injuries to other stars have created new dynamics in offenses around the league, shifting the fantasy landscape. Tonight, there are many spots that are intriguing to us. It’s a Fajita Friday edition of the Gems – let’s ride.

Multiple stars have already been ruled out for tonight. Moreover, there are some question marks surrounding the availability of others that can alter the slate in a drastic way. Thus, be sure to use our proprietary NBA projections and cheat sheet to build your lineups as the news rolls in. Moreover, join the conversation in the Win Daily Discord to get the insight you need from both subscribers and staff.

Toronto Raptors @ OKC Thunder (+5.5)

Toronto Raptors (-5.5)

With Pascal Siakam (adductor) having missed the last three games, Fred VanVleet has found his touch on offense. Leading the team with a 28.1% usage rate during that span, FVV has dropped 30 or more points in two of three appearances, while also posting a 27-point effort. Lining up against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is no easy feat, but VanVleet has carried this offense to two wins in their last three games without Siakam. He’ll be popular for cash games, while also making for a safe floor, high ceiling option in tournaments on this NBA slate.

OKC Thunder (+5.5)

The only real interest I have in this offense is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. If you’re into narratives, which are surely part of the fun in NBA DFS, how about the Canadian playing his hometown team while rumors circle about his potential desire to play for them? Nonetheless, SGA has been performing at an all-star caliber this season. Leading the team with a 32.1% usage rate, Gilgeous-Alexander has averaged a whopping 31.6 PPG on 53.7% shooting, good for fifth in the NBA scoring race. The matchup is far from ideal against Toronto’s stingy defense, so don’t force this one if you have more preferable spots.

Milwaukee Bucks @ San Antonio Spurs (+1)

Milwaukee Bucks (-1)

Welcome to the value of the NBA slate. Both Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) and Jrue Holiday (ankle) join Khris Middleton (wrist) on the sidelines tonight. Thus, the field will likely flock to Jevon Carter, who is fresh off a 36/4/12 game against OKC. Carter led the team in usage rate (32.4%) and field goal attempts (15), but he will be one of the most rostered players in the field. If you’re playing Carter or a combination of Grayson Allen, Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, or Marjon Beauchamp, be sure to get different elsewhere in your lineups.

San Antonio Spurs (+1)

Even with Giannis Antetokounmpo missing from the lineup, the presence of Brook Lopez on the interior still concerns me regarding the Spurs frontcourt. Thus, I have interest in going back to the well with Keldon Johnson or Devin Vassell on this NBA slate. The two have phenomenal matchups on the wing with the Bucks’ injuries. Moreover, the way Gregg Popovich has staggered their minutes makes their fantasy appeal all that much greater. Vassell comes off mid way through the first quarter and checks back in with 3-4 bench players, making him the preferred target of the two due to dominant usage at the beginning of the second and fourth quarters. Having scored 20 or more points in 6 of 8 appearances this season, Vassell ranks second on the team behind Johnson in both usage and scoring, shooting 46.2% from the field and 45.2% from deep.

Sacramento Kings @ Los Angeles Lakers (+3)

Sacramento Kings (-3)

For those that enjoy the late night hammer on NBA slates, tonight is your night. There are plenty of good games after opening tipoff, and this is certainly one of them. Make no mistake about it, I love both De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis in this spot, but I want to highlight another player as well. What Malik Monk has been doing off the bench in Sacramento has gone under-appreciated. Having scored in double digits across his last four games, Monk is heating up as one of the first players off the bench in this offense. During that span, Monk has seen an increase in minutes, logging over 27 per contest. Moreover, he has posted an 18/2.3/5.3 scoring line on 50% shooting, including 44% from behind the arc. Facing his former team tonight, Monk will have the green light to shoot a ton.

Los Angeles Lakers (+3)

With LeBron James slated to miss the next two games for the Lakers, things will get even more interesting in Los Angeles. Since moving to the bench, Russell Westbrook has looked rejuvenated. During that stretch, he is second on the team in usage rate behind LeBron, while posting an 18.6/5.1/7.1 scoring line on 49.5% shooting, including a much-improved 42.9% from deep. With both of these teams sitting inside the top 10 in the NBA in pace, including the Lakers leading the league, this one will play fast and in transition. Not only is that the type of game environment where Westbrook has carved out a Hall of Fame career, but he also has a great matchup versus a Kings defense that ranks 22nd versus primary ball handlers.

NBA DFS: Ghost’s Gems 10/26

DFSGhost 3 years ago

written by DFSGhost

Now that most teams have a few games under their belt, players are starting to find their groove on both sides of the ball. Rookies continue adjusting to the pace of play, while veterans get back into form. Additionally, with the new and improved NBA schedule, teams will face off against one another multiple times over the same week or two to limit travelling. This scenario is highlighted below, amongst other game environments to target. It’s a Wet Wednesday edition of the Gems – let’s ride.

Despite only being a week into the new season, injury news has been affecting NBA slates daily. In order to keep up, be sure to use our proprietary NBA projections and cheat sheet to build your lineups. Moreover, join the conversation in the Win Daily Discord to get the insight you need from both subscribers and staff.

Brooklyn Nets @ Milwaukee Bucks (-4)

Brooklyn Nets (+4)

Make no mistake about it: the Nets will only go as far as Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant can carry them. Last game, the two stars combined for over half of the team’s field goal attempts. Taking 44 shots out of 87 attempts, Kyrie and KD combined for 74 points of the team’s 124. However, the two each have a tough matchup tonight. KD will likely see a lot of Giannis, while Irving will see Jrue Holiday out on the perimeter. I lean the former in this spot, who will try to stay around the 3-point line and find the midrange, as he attempts to get Giannis to stay closer to the basket. Pacing the team in both usage rate and scoring, KD makes for an attractive tournament play on this NBA slate, if committing to this game.

Milwaukee Bucks (-4)

Playing at an MVP level in the early stages of the NBA season, Giannis Antetokounmpo has the best chance to lead the slate in scoring. Through two games, Giannis has averaged 32.5/12.5/5.5 on 70/3% shooting through a 34.6% usage rate. Not only has he been efficient, but he’s doing so at a historic rate. Last game, Giannis scored 44 points in only 28 minutes, making him the fifth player in league history to do so. In a matchup versus a Nets roster that ranks 25th in points allowed in the paint per game with 55.3 per contest, it’s all systems go on the Greek Freak.

Indiana Pacers @ Chicago Bulls (-7.5)

Indiana Pacers (+7.5)

Another NBA slate with the Pacers means I get to talk about Tyrese Haliburton once again. However, I’ll spare the long writeup as you already know I like the idea of playing him. Rather, my attention for this game will be on Buddy Hield. Being one of the best shooters in the league since arriving in 2016, Hield has largely gone under-appreciated. Despite a modest 22.1% usage rate, Hield sits fourth in the team in scoring. Additionally, the sharpshooter has taken over eight attempts from deep per contest, hitting at a 36.4% clip. Facing a Bulls team that currently ranks 28th in the NBA in 3-point field goal percentage allowed, Hield makes for an intriguing tournament play, should his shot be falling.

Chicago Bulls (-7.5)

With Zach Lavine making his return to the lineup last game, the Bulls offense is back in play. Still missing from the lineup is Lonzo Ball (knee), but that didn’t stop the team from putting up 120 points against one of the NBA’s best defenses in the Boston Celtics. In a matchup versus the Pacers, a primary target of mine will be Nikola Vucevic. In last game’s matchup versus a Celtics team that struggles on the interior without Robert Williams III, Vucevic led the team in usage rate, en route to an 18/23/5 scoring line on 36.8% shooting. Even with Lavine making his return, Vucevic managed to see 19 attempts from the field across 31 minutes. Versus a Pacers team that may be without Myles Turner (ankle) entirely, or at least on a limited basis, Vucevic will dominate the paint on both ends of the floor.

Houston Rockets @ Utah Jazz (-5.5)

Houston Rockets (+5.5)

Right back to the well with a game we discussed on Monday’s slate. While some were underwhelmed by the output, these two teams still combined for 222 points despite a 39-point first quarter. Needless to say, this game environment remains to be one of, if not the best on the NBA slate. I wrote up Jalen Green in this same matchup and he went for 25/3/3 on 56.3% shooting. Moreover, I highlighted the backcourt advantage both he and Kevin Porter Jr. hold over Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson. In addition to Green, Porter Jr. went for 26/10/4 on 42.1% shooting. While he likely won’t grab another ten rebounds, both are firmly in play.

Utah Jazz (-5.5)

Similarly to the Rockets writeup, I’m going back to the same Jazz players I wanted on Monday. Despite the modest output, Lauri Markkanen still finished second on the team in usage rate at 27.6%. Moreover, he shot an abysmal 7-for-19 from the field, leaving most of the field underwhelmed about his last performance. As a result, I’m hoping for a lower number of people rostering him, but that remains to be seen. Markkanen is in the same elite matchup against a defense that ranks 27th in net rating and he took a price drop on the salary grid.

11/4 NBA DFS Game Previews & Prop Bets

6 years ago

written by

A six-game slate awaits, and the 11/4 NBA DFS Game Previews and Prop Bets will get your week started on the right foot.

Detroit at Washington, 7:00 PM Eastern

Pistons at a Glance: 18th in scoring (108.3), 20th in scoring defense (112), 16th in offensive rating (106.8), 25th in defensive rating (110.5), 17th in pace (101.4)

No Blake Griffin nor Reggie Jackson, the Pistons may also be without PG/SG Derrick Rose ($5800 DK). C Andre Drummond ($10,800 DK) is the only player on this roster that is Fantasy-viable, although PG/SG Luke Kennard ($5000 DK) is averaging 19.5 points in his last two games. I’d be open to rolling the dice on PG/SG Bruce Brown ($3200 DK), whose salary is a major steal and is also assured of getting strong usage, especially if Rose is out. He’s a lock if playing Showdown, but I’d add him in a lineup or two tonight because I think there’s a pleasant surprise here.

Stud — Drummond. Dud — SF/PF Markeiff Brown ($4000 DK). Sleeper — Brown.

Wizards at a Glance — 7th in scoring (117.2), 28th in scoring defense (121.4), 6th in offensive rating (109.5), 27th in defensive rating (113.4), 3rd in pace (107.1).

Washington is going to dial up the pace. They’re dead in the water if they fall into playing a Pistons-like pace. SG Bradley Beal ($9400 DK) is a sniper off to a solid start. You’re not going to get much beyond his scoring, so you’re screwed if he’s not bringing the offense. I like rookie PF Rui Hachimura ($5700 DK), although he faced reality against the Timberwolves on Saturday when he managed all of six DKP. PF/C Thomas Bryant ($7400 DK) also had a rough go on Saturday and will have to contend with Drummond tonight. I’d politely pass on him. PG Isaiah Thomas ($4900 DK) is pace-dependent in that he’ll give you solid DKP off the bench when the Wizards run and gun. However, he’s a major liability if it becomes a half-court game.

Stud — Beal. Dud — PG/SF Isaac Bonga ($3400 DK). Sleeper — PF/C Mortiz Wagner ($3400 DK).

New Orleans at Brooklyn, 7:30 PM Eastern

Pelicans at a Glance: 4th in scoring (118.3), 29th in scoring defense (122.5), 5th in offensive rating (110), 28th in defensive rating (113.9), 7th in pace (105.7)

You’ll want a piece of the action in this game. If this doesn’t go over 240 total points, my Monday will be sad. SF Brandon Ingram ($8900 FD) passed concussion protocol and will be in the lineup tonight. He has a 28.6 Usage rate and I’m betting he could do more with a 32-34 UR. You have to like how PG Lonzo Ball ($7400 FD) is progressing, yet I’m not sure if I’d play him knowing he’ll have to deal with Kyrie Irving ($9700 FD). His PER (Player Efficiency Rating) is climbed to where you can see Ball as at least a league-average starter. Active or not, I’d stay away from C Derrick Favors ($5900 FD). SG Jrue Holiday ($8300) has been more of a distributor in his two games back from a sore knee. The Pels run a fast enough pace to where both Ball and Holiday can get 5-7 assists per night.

Stud — Ingram. Dud — Favors. Sleeper — PF Jaxson Hayes ($3800 FD)

Nets at a Glance — 3rd in scoring (118.7), 26th in scoring defense (119.5), 10th in offensive rating (108.6), 20th in defensive rating (109.3), 8th in pace (105.6)

Irving is going at a 35.8 Usage rate. I’ll bet he hits 40 at some point this season. He’s probably the PG you’ll want in the lineup tonight since both teams will run at a breakneck speed. Some days, SG Caris LeVert ($6500) looks like the second scoring option, then there are days like Saturday when he can’t manage 22 FDP. C Jarrett Allen ($5200 FD) continues to play like someone who should be getting more minutes from De’Andre Jordan ($5900 FD). SF Taurean Prince ($4800 FD) had the massive effort against the Rockets on Friday but is more like the complimentary type he showed on Saturday.

Stud — Irving. Dud — Jordan. Sleeper — Allen.

Houston at Memphis, 8:00 PM Eastern

Rockets at a Glance — 1st in scoring (121.3), 30th in scoring defense (127), 3rd in offensive rating (111.4), 29th in defensive rating (116.6), 1st in pace (108.9).

PG Russell Westbrook ($9800 DK) will sit, so I think we may see some vintage James Harden ($10,800 DK) tonight. This will look more like the Rockets of last season, so expect Harden to be more at ease offensively. Like almost everyone in a Houston uniform, C Clint Capela ($6200 DK) didn’t show up in Miami on Sunday night, but Capela will also see a rebound in production tonight. No Westbrook means more opportunity for SF/PF Danuel House ($4500 DK), who I think will become a solid DFS option once P.J. Tucker ($5000) comes down to earth.

Stud — Harden. Dud — SG/SF Eric Gordon ($4000 DK) Sleeper — House.

Grizzlies at a Glance — 19th in scoring (106.6), 25th in scoring defense (119.4), 29th in offensive rating (97.7), 21st in defensive rating (109.4), 4th in pace (106.9)

The scoring hasn’t translated into success, but this is not your daddy’s Grizzlies. These kids run and it makes all the sense the world to get a piece of the action out of them tonight. The Rockets are playing defense as if they’ve just learned the definition of the word, so that means I’d invest in PG Ja Morant ($6600 DK) and PF/C Brandon Clarke ($4800 DK). Clarke will see a bump in minutes since its questionable that PF/C Jaren Jackson Jr. ($5900 DK) will sit tonight. C Jonas Valanciunas ($6000 DK) is a solid option, especially if the Rockets are just going to shoot 3s and offer extra rebouding chances.

Stud — Morant. Dud — SG/SF Dillion Brooks ($4800 DK) Sleeper — Clarke

Milwaukee at Minnesota, 8:00 PM Eastern

Bucks at a Glance — 2nd in scoring (119.2), 19th in scoring (111.2), 4th in offensive rating (111.3), 12th in defensive rating (103.7), 9th in pace (105.4)

The Timberwolves are without C Karl-Anthony Towns ($10,300 FD), who is serving a suspension from his brawl with Joel Embiid last week. That will mean a heavy dosage of interior assaults from SF Giannis Anetetokounmpo ($12,000 FD). This could be a monster night from him if he decides to take advantage of the hole in the T’Wolves interior. I’m starting to like PG Eric Bledsoe ($6300 FD) now that he’s put together a pair of solid outings for DFS users. On the flip side, SG Khris Middleton ($7300 FD) has been a DFS dog for two straight games and I’m not sure the fleas are all gone. Stay far, far away from C Brook Lopez ($5200 FD), even with Towns out.

Stud — Antetokounmpo. Dud — Lopez. Sleeper — Bledsoe

Timberwolves at a Glance — 5th in scoring (118), 21st in scoring defense (112), 14th in offensive rating (107.5), 9th in defensive rating (102), 2nd in pace (107.6)

Whatever they’ll miss from Towns defensively will be made up offensively. Look for PF Robert Covington ($5700 FD) to benefit from Towns’ absence with a jolt in his usage rate. SG Andrew Wiggins ($6900 FD) gets about 4-7 extra field goal attempts and I’m sure you’ll see PG Jeff Teague ($6200 FD) become more aggressive with his shot as well. C Gorgui Dieng ($4000 FD) showed he still has game with 42.1 FDP against the Wizards on Saturday and should be a good low-end option as he will be able to get rebounds and a blocked shot or two.

Stud — Covington. Dud — Wiggins. Sleeper — Dieng

Philadelphia at Phoenix, 9:00 PM Eastern

76ers at a Glance — 10th in scoring (115), 10th in scoring defense (106), 12th in offensive rating (108), 5th in defensive rating (99.5), 5th in pace (106.5)

They’ll do fine without Joel Embiid tonight. The Suns will want to run and gun, so that translates into extra opportunities for PG/SF Ben Simmons ($8500 DK) and SF/PF Tobias Harris ($7000 DK). PF/C Al Horford ($6900 DK) will get the bulk of the touches Embiid usually gets. I do like the upside of SG/SF Josh Richardson ($4600 DK) tonight, so plug him into a lineup or two.

Stud — Simmons. Dud — SG/SF Mattise Thybulle ($3400 DK). Sleeper — Richardson.

Suns at a Glance — 9th in scoring (115.2), 9th in scoring defense (106), 8th in offensive rating (109.1), 7th in defensive rating (100.4), 12th in pace (103.8)

PG/SG Devin Booker ($7900 DK) is warming up just SF/PF Kelly Oubre Jr. ($6300 DK) is beginning to cool off. C Aron Baynes ($5100 DK) has been a revelation since coming into the lineup and could be able to exploit the defensive void of the Sixers not having Embiid. PG Ricky Rubio ($6500 DK) had three steals on Saturday and is one of the reasons why the Suns are playing surprisingly good defense. SF/PF Dario Saric ($4700 DK) is boom-bust. Play at your own risk.

Stud — Booker. Dud — Oubre. Sleeper — Baynes.

Portland at Golden State, 10:30 PM

Trail Blazers at a Glance — 11th in scoring (113.8), 24th in scoring defense (113.3), 9th in offensive rating (108.7), 17th in defensive rating (108.2), 10th in pace (104.7)

I’m not paying $10,300 for Damian Lillard (FD), at least not tonight. There’s too much concern this becomes a blowout and Lillard spends much of the fourth on the bench. I will pay the $6700 (FD) for C.J. McCollum, though. C Hassan Whiteside ($7500 FD) is a gametime decision. Don’t risk it. SF Rodney Hood ($4300 FD) is questionable with a knee injury. PF Skal Labissiere ($3900 FD) could get extended minutes if Whiteside is still sidelined.

Stud — Lillard. Dud — Whiteside. Sleeper — Labissiere

Warriors at a Glance — 16th in scoring (109.2), 27th in scoring defense (120.8), 18th in offensive rating (108), 30th in defensive rating (117.3), 14th in pace (103).

At the very least, there are some potential bargains to be had in Golden State. I like what I have seen from PF Eric Paschall ($5800 FD) and will plug him into a lineup or two. SF Glenn Robinson III ($5300 FD) has always had upside and is getting the minutes to prove it. SG D’Angelo Russell ($9400 FD) is questionable, opening up more minutes for the likes of PG Ky Bowman ($4400 FD). SG Damion Lee ($3900 FD) will get quality minutes off the bench.

Stud — Paschall. Dud. Lee. Sleeper — Bowman.

Over/Under Player Predictions

I think Harris hits the glass enough to produce a double-double in what should be a fun, high-scoring affair. If points are coming hot and heavy on both ends of the court, then Rubio should exceed 6.5 assists easily. Go over on both.
