We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Jrue Holiday FD - $7700 DK - $7400 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 36.77 DK - 39.86 Holiday was expected to see a dip in production with DeMarcus Cousins joining the team. Instead, he has played well with Cousins and has been able to put up 30+ in 3 of his last 4. It looks like he may not shoot the ball quite as much, but will still have the ball in his hands a lot and get enough shots to make it worth the while. The Lakers are one of the worst teams in the league against point guards, allowing over 46 fantasy points per game, which ranks 2nd worst in the league behind just the Suns. D'Angelo Russell has been absolutely atrocious on defense and that won't change until at least next season. Holiday will eat up this defense with pick n rolls, using both Cousins and Davis to create space and attack the rim. Holiday will have a great opportunity to come through at a modest price tag in a match-up that provides a ton of upside. He's also extremely safe with a floor around 30 due to his locked minutes and forced usage. Holiday is a fantastic option in both formats on all sites. D'Angelo Russell FD - $6400 DK - $7100 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 33.92 DK - 36.8 The Pelicans are one of the teams we will spend a lot of salary on tonight, though the same can't be said for their opponent in the LA Lakers. Russell is the only guard I have interest in on this team, as both Nick Young and Jordan Clarkson have been horrible and have ben getting inconsistent minutes. Russell has taken the guard responsibilities on his shoulders, topping 25 fantasy points in 5 straight contests. Russell also hit 35 in 3 of those 5 games, destroying tournament value. He gets a match-up with the Pelicans, who rank 21st in the league against PG's and gives up close to 44 FP a night. Russell should have plenty of success against Holiday, who has been very lackluster individually on defense. Russell is definitely a lot riskier than we would like to admit, as he can have a 10...

What We Know Guillermo Hernangomez has been ruled out against the 76ers Hernangomez has been playing some nice minutes for the Knicks, so his absence does cause a bit of a ripple effect. Hernangomez missed last game and we were all off on what we thought would happen. While O'Quinn was supposed to be the guy who benefited most, it was Carmelo Anthony and Lance Thomas. Kristaps Porzingis also saw 33 minutes and shu=ould see at leas that again tonight. Nerlens Noel will start for the injured Wes Matthews Noel might have a little bit of hype here, which could turn into a higher ownership than expected. With that being said, he is still a very good play. Seth Curry and Yogi Ferrell also get their minutes secured with Matthews out. He has been playing about 35 minutes per game and these guys will need to score on the perimeter to make up for him. The "Every Lineup" Guys George Hill This should be no surprise. Point guard against the Nets has been fantasy goodness all season long and will continue to be gold as the season progresses. They have given up the most FP's per game to PG's at over 50 per game. Hill will see Jeremy Lin and Spencer Dinwiddie defense, which is easily the weakest defensive backcourt in basketball. While some may be worried about a blowout, this game is in Brooklyn where the Nets have been far better. Hill is one of the safer options on the board and makes for a tremendous play in all formats. He may not have the upside of some other PG's, but you can go elsewhere for the crazy upside. Terrence Ross Ross has been in a Magic uniform for 3 games and bene pretty good for all 3. While he did disappoint overall last game, he scored all 16 of his fantasy points in the 2nd half. He does offer a little more risk...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12800 DK - $13300 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 60.67 DK - 64.65 Westbrook opens it up here with one of the best match-ups in basketball for PG's, Damian Lillard. Lillard is one of the absolute worst defenders in basketball, finishing in the bottom 5 in DefRtg in each of the last 2 seasons. We're all well aware of what Westbrook is capable of, consistently sitting above 60 fantasy points on a night basis. While the price is absolutely insane at this point, it's for good reason. Westbrook is by far the most consistent and safe option on the slate, finishing below 50 fantasy points just once in the last 12 games. He's also been over 60 in 8 of those which speaks volumes on just how dominant he is. The Blazers don't hold a light to what Westbrook brings to the table here and he will demand extra attention from the tip. With all of that being said, the price does matter. This is a slate with a lack of value, so it could be tough to get down to Westbrook in cash. In tournaments, though, his ownership may be down a bit (relatively for a 3-game slate) for the player he is. With a floor of 60 and a ceiling over 80, don't overlook Westbrook due to his astronomical price. Damian Lillard FD - $9100 DK - $8800 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 42.97 DK - 46.03 This is a game we will be targeting a ton, which goes without being said considering the first 2 picks here. Lillard may not have the same upside as Westbrook, but he's also not anywhere near as expensive. Don't get me wrong, Lillard isn't cheap. He has seen a price jump recently due to his strong play and big fantasy performances. He gets a terrific match-up with the Thunder tonight, who give up a ton to opposing point guards. While Westbrook is a talented defender, he's far more concerned about offense and how he's gonna carry a team full of role players. That has left PG's open this year, with the Thunder giving up more than 45 FP per game to them. Lillard has a phenomenal matchup...

What We Know DeMarcus Cousins is suspended for tonight's game against the Pistons Cousins will receive a game off for the technical he received last game and will continue missing games and he continues acting foolish. Anthony Davis will see a few more shots and a lot more usage and will also have his minutes secured over 35. The Pistons have some good big men, but aren't too good on defense. Andre Drummond and Jon Leuer are far too big and unathletic to stay with AD. Harris could also take a shot, but he's far too small. Guillermo Hernangomez has been ruled out With Joakim Noah already ruled out, the Knicks will be shorthanded. Kyle O'Quinn and Kristaps Porzingis will both see over 30 minutes and make for good plays. While POrzingis is coming off of an injury, he looks to be a full go. O'Quinn has been very inconsistent, but I think the Knicks have no choice but to play him a lot of minutes. Lance Thomas could also see some minutes at 4, but has no appeal outside of large-field tournaments. Wesley Matthews has been ruled out against the Hawks Matthews has been playing big minutes recently for the Mavs, who have needed a lot of production from the guard spot. With Wes out, Seth Curry and Harrison Barnes both have their minutes secured over 35. Yogi Ferrel should also see at least 30 minutes and should be way too under-owned for this spot. Dennis Schroder struggles on defense and Yogi does have big upside. What We're Waiting to Know Jameer Nelson is questionable to play against the Bucks Nelson is a huge part of this Nuggets offense right now and this something you certainly want to keep an eye on. If Nelson plays, he's a good option against a Bucks team that struggles against guards. If Nelson misses, Jamal Murray will be one of the top value options on the board and...

Point Guard Darren Collison FD - $6000 DK - $6100 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 28.67 DK - 30.29 Ty Lawson FD - $4900 DK - $4200 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 27.94 DK - 29.62 Collison and Lawson both played over 30 minutes last game and are expected to do the same again tonight. Lawson has stepped into the starting lineup after the DeMarcus Cousins trade and is expected to remain in there after a solid game against the Timberwolves. They both get a better match-up here against the Nets, who give up the most points per game to point guards. Jeremy Lin will also see 18-20 minutes in this game and he is one of the absolute worst defenders in the league. When you combine the pace the Nets play and the guards they have, it makes a lot of sense why point guards destroy them. These guys are rather safe to play at least 28 minutes, as Jordan Farmar is the only other point guard available. While Lawson is officially starting at PG, they both share time there and will control the ball equally. Collison is a bit safer and is a great option in both cash games and tournaments. While I can see the merit in cash games for Lawson, he makes more sense in tournaments. Reggie Jackson FD - $5300 DK - $5400 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 29.34 DK - 31.56 Reggie Jackson has found himself in the low $5k's on both FanDUel and DraftKings, which is just way too cheap. he is still seeing pretty good minutes, though he has seen less than 25 minutes in a couple of games recently. Outside of those, he is seeing over 30 minutes and putting up plenty of shots. He is going through a bit of a rut right now and will bounce back just fine. A match-up with the Pelicans could be just what the doctor ordered. They have given up 46 FP to PG's, which ranks 3rd worst in the league behind the Nets and Nuggets. DeMarcus Cousins is also suspended, which should open up the lane quite a bit. Anthony Davis will still be there, but will be drawn outside by the...
