Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11900 DK - $11400 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 54.48 DK - 57.64 After a jam-packed Wednesday slate, we're welcomed with a very simple 4-gamer tonight. There's still a lot to decipher, but it's not nearly as messy as what we were working with yesterday. We'll open it up with the most expensive play on the slate in Russell Westbrook. With Westbrook, it just comes down to your roster construction and whether or not you can afford him. We know this game against the Wizards is going to be exciting and Vegas agrees (214 total, -5 spread). John Wall is a pretty good defender, but that's about. He's easy to take advantage of with a stud like Westbrook and I wouldn't be surprised to see Beal on him at times. He's going to dominate both and get as many open shots as he'd like. The Wizards like to play fast and Westbrook is more than willing. It's tough at the price, but I think 50 is a lock with a realistic 70 FP ceiling. If you're paying down elsewhere and have $12k to spend, you play Westbrook. If you have $10k, I don't think you need to switch things around. Let's touch on Curry, who might work in that scenario. Stephen Curry FD - $9900 DK - $10400 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 50.27 DK - 52.58 Stephen Curry is still going to cost you a pretty penny, but he's a huge discount from Russell Westbrook. Exactly $2k on FD and $1k on DraftKings. He has been very consistent recently, going for 42-50 in 8 of the last 9 games. He flashed the upside for 63 in one of them. He's no longer the volatile PG he was a few years ago, but rather a guy who can be counted on for 40 with the upside for 60. He's still a bit reliant on his shot, but it's very rarely off and he can stuff the stat sheet when it is. The match-up against the Timberwolves is certainly a great one, considering they rank 20th in the league against PG's. Jeff Teague isn't the worst defender ever, but he doesn't have much help...

What We Know LaMarcus Aldridge will rest against the Grizzlies This is not surprising at all after getting 40 minutes last night against the Cavs. Pau Gasol was out and is playing tonight, so he'll slide in and grab 25-30 of these minutes, at least. Davis Bertans will get another 25-30 minutes and is a decent play against the Grizzlies. There is some opportunity here, but the match-up is terrible, so there's no real need to go anywhere with so many options on this slate. T.J. McConnell has been ruled out against the Bulls for personal reasons With J.J. Redick already out for a while, the Sixers are slim at guard. The newly acquired Larry Drew II could get some minutes, but he's not worth anything in DFS if you can even find him. Instead, it should be Ben Simmons getting a boatload of minutes at PG. Against a Bulls team who gets slaughtered by PG's (let alone Ben Simmons), he's at the top of my list at power forward. This game will stay close and we know the ceiling Simmons has. What We're Waiting to Know Tyreke Evans and Jarell Martin are questionable to play against the Spurs (Jamychal Green out) This is all very interesting, but let's keep in mind that it is against the Spurs. They don't have the most skilled big men, but play slow. Vegas has this game at a 191 over/under, sitting a whole 8 points lower than the next game. Still, there are some things to pay attention to here. Evans is a usage hog, so we'll see Marc Gasol take a ton of shots if he's out. Dillon Brooks, Wayne Selden, and Myke James will also pick up 20+ minutes and be interesting at the very least. As for the big guys, Jarell Martin was questionable entering last game and played 31 minutes. If he plays again, he's fine in tournaments. If he's out, don't rely on anyone, though Deyonta Davis and Rabb would be the main candidates for minutes, aside from maxing out Gasol. Jimmy Butler has been downgraded to doubtful against the Blazers We know what to do here. We'll get to Nemanja Bjelica as the top play on the slate. Andrew Wiggins, Jeff...

Point guard Kyle Lowry FD - $7900 DK - $7900 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 39.78 DK - 41.35 After 5 pretty fun games last night, the NBA has blessed us with a stellar 9-game slate this Wednesday night. We have a ton of games to dive into and not many that you can wipe off the board. We're going to start in Atlanta, where the Raptors and Hawks will face off in one of the more exciting games of the night. With a 215 over/under and 6 point spread, expect a full allotment of minutes out of the starters. Kyle Lowry has been on fire lately with 30+ in 6 straight and got up to 50 last game. He now sees a tremendous match-up against a Hawks squad that struggles more than any of the teams he has recently diced up. On the season, they rank 19th against the position at 43.6 FPPG allowed. Schroder is not only a terrible defender, but he has no help behind him. Lowry is a lock to do damage when on the floor and he's been in there for 32+ night in and night out. We have some games with higher totals on the slate, but this will stay competitive and Lowry is one of the safest mid-range plays on the entire slate. Under $8k on both sites, he needs to get you around 35 in cash games. Kyrie Irving FD - $8200 DK - $8600 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 41.08 DK - 42.24 Here's another strong option in the mid-range. Kyrie Irving, like Kyle Lowry, offers you a ton of safety. He's going to shoot 20+ times a game and has an incredible match-up with the Clippers. They'll be missing Austin Rivers and Jawun Evans, so expect Milos Teodosic and Sindarius Thornwell to grab the minutes at the 1. Neither are good defenders and it's why the Clippers have been slowly falling down the PG defensive ranks (11th on season, 21st in last 10). Kyrie has been insane on the season as a whole and running extremely hot as of late. He's a lock for over 30 fantasy points and has been around 40 in most. Vegas hasn't dropped...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. What We Know Jimmy Butler, Kris Dunn, Goran Dragic, Tyler Johnson, DeAndre Jordan, Marquese Chriss, and Rodney Hood will all remain out We know how to handle these guys. Let's dive into some situations that aren't so clear. If you have any questions about these, comment below and I'll get right to them. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out against the Suns Antetokounmpo was also out last game, but we are looking at a different situation completely with Brogdon in. Sterling Brown will head back to irrelevance, though he still might get 20-25 minutes. Brogdon was dealing with a personal issue, so I think he gets to the 25-40 Brown got last game. Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton will both obviously get big minutes and be the 2 highest owned players on the team, and probably the entire slate. I will have both in 100% of my lineups, guaranteeing me more exposure than the field. Jamychal Green has been ruled out against the 76ers (Jarell Martin questionable) This is a situation that may get interesting against a porous 76ers interior. If Martin is cleared to play, he's a phenomenal option in all formats. If he is out as well, my focus moves towards Ivan Rabb and Tyreke Evans. With Ennis and Parsons already out, Rabb will have to get over 25 minutes if Martin is also out. Mclemore and Selden could also pick up 25-30 minutes and have to at least be interesting against the Sixers. All in all, I hope Martin is cleared. He's an easy play for 30+ minutes and 25+ fantasy points. If not, it truly is a crapshoot, but does up the floor of Evans and Gasol. Every Lineup Guys Khris Middleton FD - $8600 DK - $8700Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 42.24 DK - 42.93 I know, obvious. With Giannis Antetokounmpo out, Khris Middleton grabbed a triple-double and 55 fantasy points last game. His usage picked up to 34% and he turned into a guy that would be $10k if Antetokounmpo was out for an extended period of time. He now sees an insanely good match-up with a Suns team that doesn't play defense. Against shooting guards, they rank 22nd in the NBA. Devin Booker is a fine...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $8300 DK - $8200Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 41.7 DK - 41.95 Welcome to NBA Monday! We have just 8 games on the slate tonight and a few very obvious ways to go. We'll start with one of those guys in Eric Bledsoe. With Giannis Antetokounmpo already ruled out and Malcolm Brogdon looking iffy, the minutes are locked in at 35-40. We saw both of these guys sit last game and it resulted in Bledsoe playing 38 minutes. The usage ended up split between Bledsoe and Middleton evenly, both sitting at 27%, way up from normal. Bledsoe has the ball in his hands all game long, which is just not how it is on most nights with point Giannis taking so many looks. We know how fast the Suns like to play and they rank 24th in the league against point guards. Tyler Ulis is extremely small and Bledsoe is going to take advantage wherever he wants. With Giannis out, I think this game stays close and these guys get a full allotment of minutes. It'd be nice for Brogdon to also sit for the sake of Bledsoe, but it's not really necessary. He's going to be one of the most popular plays on the slate and I'll be on board. He's an elite play in all formats at a fair low $8k tag. Milos Teodosic FD - $4800 DK - $5400Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 25.34 DK - 26.81 As long as Austin Rovers remains out with his bruised heel, Milos Teodosic is an excellent way to pay down at PG. He's been over 30 minutes in each of the last 2 games and has put up 28 fantasy points in 2 of the last 3. The 3rd coming against the Jazz in quite a weird game. He is a really good point guard and the Clippers have no problem letting him run the halfcourt offense. He's not at consistent as you'd like out of a ballhandler, but that's more so because of his minutes, or lack thereof. Now that he's getting 30, the price is far too low. He's going to be between 20-30 on most night and go over 30 plenty....
