Point guard Kemba Walker FD - $8000 DK - $7900 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 41.59 DK - 43.18 We have an electric 11-game slate on our hands with plenty of different options at each position. There's a lot of different ways to pay up and a few cheapies that let you get them. People always want to ignore Kemba Walker on the road, but it's overplayed. He's a tremendous point guard no matter the arena and he's been phenomenal on the road early in the season. Tonight, he matches up with a Bulls team that has been atrocious against PG's. In fact, they've been by far the worst team in the entire league, allowing 54 FPPG to the 2nd worst 50 (Mavs). Jerian Grant is a poor defender and he doesn't have any help underneath to cover him up. Walker will have his way everywhere on the floor and his usage has been through the roof at 28%. Nobody else really dictates action with Batum out, so Kemba can do what he wants without worrying about egos. There's a lot of different options at PG, but the Bulls stink against point guards and I don't think Kemba comes in more than 20% owned. Jrue Holiday FD - $6600 DK - $6500 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 34.91 DK - 35.28 Jrue Holiday might be a clear number 3 option, but that's fine. He's still putting up great fantasy numbers and doing it consistently. We'll get to the bigs later, who are both in play against a weak interior defense. As for Holiday, he's firmly in play against a Nuggets squad that's playing fast and has allowed 47.2 (4th most) FP per game to point guards. Jamal Murray still has a lot of learning to do and he's been dominated by physical guards. Holiday certainly fits the mold as a guy who can do damage when given the opportunity and I don't see how he doesn't get it tonight. At over 35 minutes in nearly every game, Gentry is giving Holiday plenty of opportunity. He's been over 30 fantasy points in every friendly match-up so far and will look to keep the streak alive tonight in the mid-$6k's....

Golden State Warriors @ Boston Celtics Vegas - 215, GS -7 Warriors Top Plays Stephen Curry FD - $9700 DK - $8700 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 52.41 DK - 54.46 The Warriors travel into Boston tonight in a game with just a 7 point spread. The Celtics have won 13 games in a row, so it won't be any easy task for Golden State to come in and walk away with the W, like it is most nights. The game is expected to stay close throughout, which gives these guys on both teams a far higher floor and ceiling. To be clear, if this game does happen to blowout, it will end up as a VERY ugly slate. Stack the other game if you really think it will. We will assume it stays close as Vegas is doing the same. Stephen Curry missed last game with a quad injury, but is expecting to come back tonight. Ideally, the Celtics would like to match him up with Marcus Smart or Jaylen Brown, but they won't be able to with all of the other weapons. That will leave Kyrie alone on Curry. While Kyrie has been a tad bit better in the Brad Stevens defensive system, he's by no means a good defender. Curry will have his way around the court and he will hit value as long as his shots are falling. His price is down and rightfully so. He's not the same 60+ FP guy he was twice a week last year, but is sitting between 40-50 as much as anyone in basketball. This match-up with the Celtics is as safe as it gets for Curry, assuming 4 quarters of competitive basketball are played. Kevin Durant FD - $10500 DK - $9700 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 55.48 DK - 55.89 Andre Iguodala FD - $4000 DK - $3500 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 21.95 DK - 21.29 Here is your most expensive and your cheapest option at SF all in one. Starting with Durant, he's been good, not great. Getting over 50 FP just once in his last 7 is obviously a concern, but one I think is better left alone. In my opinion,...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Justin Holiday has ben ruled out for the birth of his child Holiday did a good thing in giving the team full notice ahead of this game, allowing changes to be made well ahead of time. Kris Dunn will draw the start and should draw at least 34+ minutes. He's firmly in play and we'll get to him later. Jerian Grant and Denzel Valentine will also get a small boost, but I wouldn't say either are close to the play Dunn is. Holiday is a big shot taker, so everyone will see a slight usage bump when on the floor. What We're Waiting to Know Carmelo Anthony and Steven Adams are both questionable against the Bulls Melo is looking like he has a better shot to play than Adams, but both are closer to 0% than 100%. Let's assume both play. Russell Westbrook is a fine play, but nobody else really warrants much attention. Now let's say both are out. Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Jerami Grant, and Dakari Johnson are all interesting. Westbrook and George would see huge usage bumps against a porous Bulls defense. Johnson and Grant aren't as good of plays, but both are cheap and will see increased minutes. If just Adams misses and Melo plays, Westbrook and Dakari benefit most. George can still be played. Mike Conley is questionable to play with an achilles injury Conley is obviously 1b on this team behind Gasol, so his absence leaves a huge gap. If Conley happens to be out, Chalmers, Evans, and Gasol will all benefit. Against a fast-paced Pacers squad, they would all be in play in all formats. The Grizzlies are a team I'll be all over if Conley is out. Every Lineup Guys Kris Dunn FD - $6100 DK - $4900 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 33.06 DK - 31.53 Justin Holiday has already been ruled out, giving Kris Dunn the start and a presumed 34+ minutes. We touched on him in the main picks article and everything still stands true. Dunn is a legitimate guard who can score, pass, and play defense. He will be a steal leader when given the minutes and if you look at his box score, his talent is...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $10300 DK - $10800 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 57.92 DK - 61.64 We obviously aren't seeing the 60+ FP on a nightly basis like last year, but his price doesn't warrant it. As the 5th most expensive option on the slate, you can come in with a different set of expectations. Don't get me wrong, he's still going to have quite a few 60+ FP games. They just won't be the majority. Tonight, the match-up with the Bulls is optimal. On the season, they have ranked dead last against opposing PG's with 53.3 FP allowed per game, sitting 3 full points higher than the 2nd worst team. The Bulls play very slow, so it's not the PACE. Jerian Grant is an inept defender and he doesn't have much help on the inside. On the Thunder side, Carmelo Anthony and Steven Adams are both questionable. If either misses, Westbrook will see a bump to his already high 31.5% usage. Under $11k on both sites, Russell Westbrook is a fantastic play in all formats. Dennis Schroder FD - $7000 DK - $6800 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 33.8 DK - 35.21 Out of everyone in the entire NBA, Dennis Schroder ranks 10th in usage with 30%. He's been more involved in the offense than guys like Kyrie, LeBron, and Lillard. For the sake of all things right, I hope that changes, but until it does, Schroder is a guy we need to pay a lot of attention to. There's nobody really left on this Hawks squad that wants shots to bad and Schroder is willing to shoot 20+ times with no issues. The Kings sport Hill and Fox at PG, who are 2 very different defenders. Neither are great, but Fox is much, much worse. He's been getting more minutes than Hill and Schroder should have no issue putting number up. He's been bad in the last 2 games, but expect a bounce back here at home. He's fine in all contests at $7k and should have no problem getting to value assuming the game stays close. Mario Chalmers FD - $3600 DK - $3800 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 11.75...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kyrie Irving is expected to play with a facemask for a couple weeks He's looking like a full-go, but keep an eye on Twitter as 7:30 nears. Shane Larkin will lose almost all of his minutes and he can be full ignored. Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier will also lose a few, but are still interesting against the Nets. Irving is a great play in all formats tonight if he is ruled in. D'Angelo Russell will not play against the Celtics with a knee contusion Russell is looking to lose a few games, which is going to cause a domino effect on this Nets squad. Minutes-wise, I see Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert benefiting most. I like Dinwiddie more tonight in a friendlier match-up. Production-wise, DeMarre Carroll and RHJ should get some extra shots. The Celtics aren't a bad defensive team, but these guys will all have a WAY HIGHER usage rate. Norman Powell is out against the Rockets Normal Powell isn't a huge fantasy factor, but he plays a bunch of minutes for the Raptors. OG Anunboy and Delon Wright are both already getting minutes and both will pick up 5-10 more. Anunboy is my favorite of the bunch, at a bit cheaper and presumably matching up with Harden. You can also lock in 35+ for DeRozan. Every Lineup Guys OG Anunoby FD - $3200 DK - $3000Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 7.04 DK - 6.68 Nobody on this 3-game slate is a "must play", but OG Anunboy is coming in as the highest point per dollar projection in the optimizer. With Normal Powell ruled out, his 15 minutes a night should turn into at least 24+. At minimum price on both sites, he only needs to grab you about 20 to surpass value in cash games. He's proven himself as a guy who creates when on the court and doesn't just sit uselessly in the corner. If you want to pay up for the stars of the slate, there's a pretty easy way to do it with OG.
