Cade Cunningham is coming off a massive game on Friday, chucking 33 shots against the Wizards on his way to 33 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. That was against one of the worst teams in basketball, and he gets another matchup like that on Monday. The Grizzlies stink, like Detroit, and we could have a lot of Pistons in cash for this slate. Cade’s price hasn’t moved all that much on either site, and the Pistons clearly are fine running their guy's minutes down the stretch, unlike some other bottom-feeding teams. The Pistons banked so many losses earlier in the season, that they don’t have to go into the tank quite as hard.

Even with Jalen Johnson possibly back for this game, it’s tough to fade Dejounte Murray these days with how much he’s playing and how much the Hawks need him to do everything. Murray has played 40+ minutes in regulation in four of the last six games, putting up more than 20 shots (including 44! againnst Boston), and averaging 27/9 over the last month. In terms of floor, he has one of the highest ones going on this slate. The price is up there for sure, but there are a few ways to save here on Monday.

It was encouraging to see the 37 minutes for Jaden Ivey on Friday against the Wizards. Getting that kind of run out of a bad team at this point in the season actually does mean something. He ended up going 5-17 from the field, which you don’t love on an efficiency level, but love on the overall usage front. The price sits in the mid-tier which does help when constructing lineups, and you get so many of the Pistons’ shots by stacking Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey on this slate.

DeMar DeRozan has been on a scoring tear of late, averaging 28 on lock over the last five games, putting up more than 20 shots and playing some of the better minutes in the league. Atlanta is the 27th-ranked defense in the league while also playing the 5th-fastest pace in the league. The Bulls are still “fighting” for seeding in the Eastern Conference play-in game, though they might be locked into the 9th seed at this point. I really like his price on both sites and he has one of the higher floors around because of the usage and minutes.
