Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Jalen Brunson FD - $8000 DK - $8300Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 42.08 DK - 45.86 With a packed slate of games, it can sometimes be a bit weird playing players from a team at full strength, but the Knicks are in such a great spot we have to look at them. They play the Wizards who run the fastest pace in the league and play a bottom-five defense. Stacking against them in cash has been a winning formula as long as the games don’t turn into blowouts (tough to do). If it’s close, Brunson is a candidate to run major minutes, playing 39+ in each of the last two games, taking an average of 20 shots in that span. The price on both sites is totally reasonable and he should be at the core of cash game builds. De'Aaron Fox FD - $9300 DK - $9000Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 46.17 DK - 48.49M Along with the Knicks, the other team to think strongly about stacking here is the Kings who get to face off against the Spurs. San Antonio has the second-worst defensive efficiency in the NBA, giving up huge point totals seemingly every single night. They also get blown out a ton, so there’s risk here with the Sac guys. Fox hasn’t had any minutes restrictions since coming back from injury and has dropped 28 points in each of the last two games. Pray this one stays close and light the Beam with the Kings in cash. Darius Garland FD - $7400 DK - $7200Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 0 DK - 0 Donovan Mitchell FD - $9900 DK - $9500Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 55.43 DK - 57.69 Caris LeVert FD - $6500 DK - $6900Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 37.7 DK - 39.65 I’m putting all three of these guys together here for a reason. Not because I think you should play all three, but because both Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell are questionable at the time of this writing. If one were to sit, then the other plus Caris LeVert would be in play as excellent...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Donovan Mitchell FD - $9700 DK - $9100Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 55.08 DK - 57.45 Sometimes we get injury news early and that was the case with Darius Garland being ruled out late Tuesday for this Wednesday game against the Trailblazers. And I think you know what that means: fire up Donovan Mitchell and don’t think twice about it. Mitchell has a 31% usage rate on the season and that climbs to 34% when Garland is off the court. That’s one of the higher numbers you will see and makes him a pretty easy play here. The price has come down a bit in the short-term which makes it even easier and I suspect he will be one of the highest-owned players on the slate. Coby White FD - $5400 DK - $5500Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 31.08 DK - 33.6 Zach LaVine FD - $7900 DK - $7700Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 38.78 DK - 42.1 Another piece of injury news we got early was that DeMar DeRozan is set to sit this game out for the Bulls. While Chicago might be in blow-it-up mode coming sooner than later, we can still play some of their guys in the short-term when the getting is good. For starters, Zach Lavine sees an obvious bump in production with DDR off the court, leading the team with a 30% usage in these situations so far this season. He’s scoring dependent for sure, but the price on both sites is totally reasonable considering the context. Meanwhile, Coby White sees the usage climb to 26.8% and the assist rate bumps up as well. I think his minutes are ultra-safe right now considering the Bulls are playing without DDR and will likely be without Alex Caruso as well. For White, these are the kind of situations we are waiting for when it comes to cash games. Small Forward Caris LeVert FD - $6100 DK - $6400Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 36.46 DK - 38.71 Like we said with Donovan Mitchell, the Darius Garland injury is going to mean some value here for the Cavs and Caris LeVert...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Tyrese Maxey FD - $10100 DK - $8900Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 47.65 DK - 50.81 The Sixers come in with the highest projected game total on the slate and that’s for a good reason (or reasons). They’ve been firing on all cylinders this season and now match up with the Pacers who run the league’s fastest pace and play the third-worst defensive efficiency. That’s something of the sweet spot where we are concerned. Tyrese Maxey is, of course, coming off the 50-point game on Sunday, but has been balling out in general this season with the backcourt now full in his hands after the James Harden trade. He’s expensive on FanDuel, but the sub-$9K price on DraftKings works well with making lineups. Kyrie Irving FD - $8600 DK - $8700Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 47.06 DK - 50.2 We typically want to play Kyrie Irving when Luka Doncic is out of the mix, but the former has been running so well that this is still a cash game spot for him. He’s taken 19 or more shots in each of the last four games, averaging 26 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.3 assists in that stretch. It gets the job done at his price points and New Orleans is a bottom-10 defense on the season. Jordan Clarkson FD - $6900 DK - $6500Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 34.04 DK - 37.56 The Jazz flipped around their starting lineup a bit a couple of games ago, moving Keyonte George and Ochai Agbaji into the group after Walker Kessler got hurt and THT went to the bench. It’s meant some more minutes and more shots for Jordan Clarkson in the short-term and that could continue here. He gets a decent matchup against the Blazers who have played surprisingly well on defense, but still aren’t a force to be reckoned with or anything like that. This game has a 229 over/under, the fifth highest of the slate and there is still some value on Clarkson’s number. Small Forward Jimmy Butler FD - $8100 DK - $8600Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 47.17 DK - 49 You have...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Dennis Schröder FD - $6700 DK - $6600Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 36.07 DK - 38.96 The Raptors get, by far, the best matchup on the slate for Monday facing off against the Wizards who rank third-to-last in defensive efficiency and 7th in pace. It’s a perfect spot to stack one team on a shorter slate of games and Dennis Schroder’s price makes it relatively easy to do so. We’ll get to some of his teammates here shortly, but there’s still value in rostering Schroder here. In closer games, he’s tracking for 32-33 minutes and has had decent usage, getting up 13 or more shots in three of his last five games. The assists can come and go with Scottie Barnes controlling the action at times, but the pace volume makes up for a lot here. This is a pretty easy way to start cash games. Keon Ellis FD - $3500 DK - $3900Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 23.64 DK - 23.54 Malik Monk FD - $5900 DK - $6000Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 28.17 DK - 31.48 De'Aaron Fox is already doubtful for this game after sitting out the last three and Keon Ellis has seen the role steadily expand in the short-term. He started two games ago, got the start again last time out and saw a career-high in minutes with 31. He’s not going to be a feature part of the offense, but the rookie is coming so cheap that he really doesn’t need to be for our purposes. Ellis has been able to chip in across the stat line enough for a decent floor at these price points. Considering the Kings won the last two, I don’t see them making a lineup change for this game. Meanwhile, I’m not typically wanting to get bench guys in for cash games, but Malik Monk is one of the rare exceptions because his role is relatively locked in. He played 29 last game, took 12 shots (4th highest on team) and finished with 12 points and eight assists. There’s even room for growth on those numbers again and on a short slate, his...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $9100 DK - $10000Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 50.77 DK - 55.94 The Hornets and Wizards played on Wednesday, putting up 248 points total with Washington beating Charlotte healthily 132-116. From a fantasy perspective, this matchup lines up well for us to stack again in cash games and we’ve seen LaMelo Ball’s minutes tick up in the short-term. He took 22 shots in that one in 36 minutes, tallying 34 points, seven assists, and four rebounds. Dude turned it over six times, but that’s to be somewhat expected considering his time on ball and usage. The price has come way up on DraftKings but he’s still a great play on FanDuel. Desmond Bane FD - $8700 DK - $8500Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 45.76 DK - 48.63 Marcus Smart FD - $6100 DK - $6600Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 34.53 DK - 36.62 The Grizzlies get a good matchup against the Jazz in this one with Utah ranking dead last in defensive efficiency this season. Desmond Bane has struggled from the field at times, but continues to have crazy high usage for Memphis with Ja Morant out of the picture. He’s averaging close to 21 shots per game and 9.4 from beyond the arc. The looks are more difficult, but we can assume he’ll come up some on the 33.3% 3-point shooting considering he’s 42% for his career. I like the prices on both sites as the Grizzlies try to keep their heads above water here. Smart’s scoring numbers are up over his career averages and he’s been racking up a ton of steals so far, with 2.6 per game not the season. His three-point shooting could also probably stand for a bit of positive regression as well. I think the price on both sites is more than fair and the minutes are very safe. Small Forward Brandon Miller FD - $5300 DK - $6100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 33.02 DK - 35.59 Gordon Hayward FD - $7100 DK - $7100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 38.11 DK - 40.3 I might be wish casting a bit here, but...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $8800 DK - $8900Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 53.72 DK - 58.9 It’s a huge slate of NBA games, but get ready to see a lot of Hornets on this list. That’s because they get the best matchup around in the Washington Wizards who rank dead last in defensive efficiency and first in pace. This is the absolute dream situation and we will be stacking teams against them from here on out. The big news with LaMelo Ball last game, in addition to the 30 points, 13 assists, 10 rebound triple-double was that he pushed the minutes to 39. He’s a lock for cash on this slate at these prices. Tyus Jones FD - $5800 DK - $5600Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 30.11 DK - 32.21 Jordan Poole FD - $6700 DK - $7400Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 35.37 DK - 38.34 This is an interesting spot for the Wizards tonight. They aren’t at a massive risk of getting blown out, coming in at just three-point underdogs to the Hornets. That could mean the minutes are actually on the safer side for Tyus Jones and Jordan Poole. It hasn’t been the case lately, but this game is a different beast. What you are relying on with both of these Wizards guards is that the minutes will be there up and over 30 and that they won’t get buzzed off even in a close game. That’s not a guarantee with Washington in full tank mode this season. But the usage is there for both, this game has a massive total and neither of them are all that expensive for what they offer. Strongly consider Tyrese Haliburton (FD 10000 DK 9800) who has been amazing of late. This game also has a big total and his minutes are ultra-safe in a close one. Small Forward Brandon Miller FD - $5600 DK - $5800Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 34.35 DK - 36.99 Gordon Hayward FD - $6900 DK - $6600Opponent - WASProj Pts FD -...
