Tonight’s slate is going to be tough to navigate simply based on the blowout possibilities. With three games possessing a spread of at least 12, we’re going to have to pick and choose our spots to target. For the most part, I’ll be avoiding Miami @ San Antonio and Brooklyn @ LA Clippers. I don’t want to inherit the risk of a blowout and have Chris Paul/Blake Griffin/Kawhi play only 26 minutes. The games I’ll be focusing most of my attention on include: Orlando @ Indiana, Philly @ Houston, OKC @ Detroit, and Boston @ New Orleans. Some plays I’ll be considering at each position:
PG: Westbrook, Isaiah Thomas, Jeff Teague, JJ Barea, and Elfrid Payton SG: James Harden, Avery Bradley, Evan Fournier, and Josh Richardson SF: Paul George, Melo, Harrison Barnes (if Dirk sits), CJ Miles (if Paul George is out) PF: Anthony Davis, Blake Griffin, Porzingis, Serge Ibaka, Jon Leuer (if Drummond is out) C: Nikola Vucevic, Deandre Jordan, Joel Embiid, Kelly Olynyk (Al Horford out?), Justin Hamilton

DFS contests tonight will be won and lost based on which studs we choose to put in our lineups. With 11 games on the slate, there are plenty of value plays that will allow us to stuff at least two studs into our lineups. With James Harden on the road against San Antonio, I won’t have much exposure because I hate the matchup. We’ve got Russell Westbrook at home against Toronto (slow paced team). With Kyle Lowry being a top 5 defender in the league, I’m having trouble spending almost $12,000 for Westbrook. So, which studs are we putting in our lineups?
Studs PG: Chris Paul – love the matchup with Damian Lillard SG: None – not paying up for Harden or DeRozan SF: Kawhi Leonard – fantastic matchup at home against a high paced team PF: Blake Griffin – with Al Farouq Aminu out, Blake should be guarded by Moe Harkless/Noah Vonleh C: Karl Anthony Towns – Vucevic is arguably the worst defensive Center in the league Value Plays PG: JJ Barea and Shelvin Mack (if George Hill is out) SG: Sean Kilpatrick – has been running point guard with Jeremy Lin out SF: CJ Miles and Tomas Satoransky (if John Wall is suspended) PF: Ersan Ilyasova, Domantas Sabonis, and Moe Harkless C: Marcin Gortat Make Sure you keep up with NBA news all the way up until lock time. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to tweet me @Whitsett_Justin. Good Luck tonight! In NBA DFS, we want to gain exposure to the highest over/unders and games with increased paces. For tonight’s slate, Im heavily targeting 3 games: Indiana @ Charlotte, Houston @ Washington, and New Orleans @ Golden State. However, roster construction won’t allow us to strictly select players from these games. Here are some options from each tier for tonight’s slate:
PG: Russell Westbrook/John Wall, Goran Dragic/Kemba Walker, Langston Galloway/Dante Exum SG: James Harden, Evan Fournier, Brad Beal SF: Kevin Durant (worried about playing time with possible blowout), Gordon Hayward, Justise Winslow/Otto Porter PF: Anthony Davis (worried about blowout), Markieff Morris, Frank Kaminsky (if Marvin Williams is limited) C: Deandre Jordan, Marcin Gortat, Bismack Biyombo (Vucevic may miss this game) Make Sure you keep up with NBA news all the way up until lock time.
