Point guard Damian Lillard FD - $9600 DK - $9100 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 46.82 DK - 48.49 We'll start it off in Portland, where we love to target Damian Lillard. While he's been great at both home and away this season, he's historically a much better play at home. He's been consistent on the year and sees a very solid match-up against a weak Nuggets perimeter that could be missing their best defender in Gary Harris. Jamal Murry and Will Barton are minor worries on defense and D-Lill should have his way on the outside and in the paint. His price is definitely getting up there, but it makes sense. He's putting up 40 FP+ on a consistent basis with a common ceiling around 65-70 on  good night. Nobody is a must at point guard when there's all these options, but Lillard is certainly our favorite way to pay up at the position. Shelvin Mack FD - $4300 DK - $3700 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 23.83 DK - 24.27 Shaun Livingston FD - $3100 DK - $3500 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 10.11 DK - 9.94 Both of these starting point guards are currently questionable, so we may have some value to take advantage of in the tri-state area. With the Magic, Elfrid Payton is dealing with a nagging hamstring that held him out of last game and limited him to 16 minutes against the Suns. With this game already over for the most part, I don't see a reason to play Payton, though he very well could. Shelvin Mack is the main man to benefit, seeing 24 and 31 minutes in the last 2 games. The Warriors play super fast and even if it does blowout, Mack will hit value at close to minimum price. On the Warriors side, I would argue Shaun Livingston is a bit more volatile, but if Steph Curry does miss, you can lock in at least 25 minutes with the upside for 35. The Magic have nobody to cover him and the production will flow when he's on the floor. We really don't know anything about these guys until we hear about the starters, so stay tuned...

Point guard Damian Lillard FD - $10000 DK - $9400 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 45.74 DK - 47.46 We had a quality 5-game Thursday slate on our hands last night and it ended up working out pretty well. With that being said, it feels like we haven't had a normal slate in 4 or 5 days. Fortunately, we've made it to Friday and a nice 7-gamer. It's still not the 12-15  games that we see on a lot of Fridays, but it's better than 3 or 5 like we're getting used to. This is also 7 games that are packed full of intrigue. We start it off with Damian Lillard, who has the iconic Nets match-up. We know how abysmal the Nets are at every form of defense. Looking at the Nets schedule, they haven't played more than 1 or 2 good point guards, yet they're still ranked in the bottom 10 in terms of FPPG allowed.  They also play insanely fast. A 109 PACE is something that almost makes no sense. For comparative purposes, the Suns are 2nd with 105 and a normal "fast" team is around 102-103. Lillard is going to get and do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Spencer Dinwiddie is an atrocious defender and the only real hope the Nets have is to put Rondae Hollis-Jefferson on him. It won't stop anything, but surely has a better chance than Spencer Dinwiddie or Joe Harris. Now with that being said, the only way Lillard sees a switch is if he's going crazy. In that case, it won't really matter. We're about to touch on Westbrook as well and there's definitely an argument to be made for both. I personally like Lillard a bit more and wouldn't be surprised to see him outscore every PG. At home against the Nets. It couldn't be better. Russell Westbrook FD - $10800 DK - $10800 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 49.5 DK - 53.08 Point guard is typically one of the deeper positions on the board, but it's not necessarily the case tonight. We have 4 or 5 guys to choose from, but they're all expensive. Outside of Jerian Grant, this is a position you'll want to...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $10500 DK - $10200 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 56.67 DK - 59.86 We've been knocking the NBA for short slates all-year long, but it's always been this way on Thursday. We actually see 2 or 3 games on most Thursdays, so 5 games is awesome. Especially these interesting 5 games. We'll start it off with the nightcap between the Thunder and Nuggets. Vegas has this game slated at a 214 over/under with an even spread. Westbrook hasn't been the same fantasy asset he was last year, but his price is reflecting that at under $10.5k on both sites, needing you 50-60 in cash games. Jamal Murray is a pitiful defender and the Nuggets have given up the 5th most FPPG (47.8) to opposing point guards. A lot of these Thunder guys are in play in a pace-up contest against a Nuggets squad that doesn't play much defense. Westbrook will have his way in this match-up and given the price drop, makes for a solid cash game and tournament play. I think he returns to his dominance tonight. John Wall FD - $10000 DK - $9500 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 49.65 DK - 51.74 I know you probably can't fit both of these guys, but you'll likely need at least 1. Wall, who's just a little cheaper than Russ, is in a phenomenal spot. He returned from injury last game and went right back to the Wall we know and love, putting up 50 fantasy points in 37 minutes. He's one of the more consistent NBA players of the last 5 or 6 years and it follows suit in DFS. In cash games, you'll rarely get disappointed. In tournaments, you'll rarely get 8 or 9x. While Wall has hit 70 fantasy points plenty of time, I'd rather pay for Westbrook if that's what I'm looking for. If I need a little bit of saving and am cool with a 50 spot, count me in for Wall. This match-up against the Lakers is a great one, especially with them coming off of a B2B. He didn't excel against them earlier in the year, but I promise you he won't shoot 7-22 again. Probably for...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kevin Durant is out with a thigh contusion This is big news, right? I would say this makes a huge impact on both teams. Not only does it give a few Warriors minutes and shots, but it should also let the game stay competitive for 4 quarters, which is the big worry when the Warriors are playing. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green are all now elite plays and I have no problem with all 3 in cash games. We don't know exactly who will get the most minutes increase, but I would guess it's Iguodala and McCaw. Casspi could also get some run, but I don't think any of them are musts. If I had to play one, Iggy is the guy. All in all, everyone on both sides gets a considerable bump. Al Horford has been ruled out with a concussion Aron Baynes is now a phenomenal punt play at center who should get at least 25-28 minutes. His size will be needed against Brook Lopez and he is a good fantasy asset. Yabusele and Theis will also pick up a few minutes, but I don't love either. Lopez is also seeing a better defender in Baynes. Stanley Johnson is out against the Pacers Stanley Johnson doesn't do much when on the court, but he's out there plenty. Reggie Bullock should play close to 30 minutes and fit into a similar role. While he's interesting against a fast-paced Pacers squad, you can do better. Avery Bradley also gets his minutes solidified at 35+ and is an even better cash game play now than he was earlier. What We're Waiting to Know Kristaps Porzingis is questionable with an elbow injury Porzingis is the clear-cut top option on this offense, so if he's out, we'll look towards Tim Hardaway and Enes Kanter to grab a lot of the shots. Michael Beasley may also pick up close to 25 minutes and we know he loves to shoot when out there. I'd also like Aaron Gordon quite a bit more as he wouldn't have to deal with a 7 foot 2 monster under the rim. Every Lineup Guys Stephen Curry FD - $9500 DK - $9300 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD...

Point guard Goran Dragic FD - $7100 DK - $6800 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 37.06 DK - 38.23 Coming off a night with 10 very intriguing games, we're right back to a shorter slate with just 5 games on the docket. We'll start it off at point guard with Goran Dragic, who's been one of the more consistent options early in the season. He gets a match-up against a Suns squad that plays 2nd fastest in all of basketball and it will be a huge pace-up game for the Heat in general. There's also a lot of bad blood between these two teams, whether it be Len+Whiteside or how Dragic was sent out in 2015. It will remain competitive throughout and Dragic can be locked in for his nightly 32-35 minutes. In this fast-paced affair, I'd expect no less than 30.  Kyrie Irving FD - $8900 DK - $8800 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 42.19 DK - 42.93 We were all over Irving against the Hawks on Monday and he went off with another 47 fantasy point performance. He's been between 40-50 in 6 of his last 7 starts and is turning into one of the more consistent high-end options out there. He certainly is against a Lakers team that doesn't play much defense. Lonzo Ball will eventually be a really good defender, but those days are a few years out. The Lakers have allowed the 3rd most FPPG to PG's so far at 51 and play at a top 10 PACE. Irving is a little more expensive than Dragic, but he's just as safe to get 45 as Dragic is to get 30. I have both of them locked into my cash games as we speak with no plans to change. However, there's always some tournament pivots, so let's touch on one that's a little too cheap. Jeff Teague FD - $6900 DK - $6500 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 33.29 DK - 34.01 Jeff Teague isn't a guy that many thought would be playing like this. He's been over 35 fantasy points in 6 of his last 8 games and is as safe as any of the starters to see 35+ minutes. He's...
