Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11200 DK - $11000 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 53.18 DK - 56.91 After a stretched out Sunday slate that ended with Joel Embiid getting ruled out 5 minutes after lock, we're on to a brand new week of DFS basketball. We kick it off with an interesting 6-game slate full of games that are expected to be close. There's a lot of different superstars to pay up for and not a whole lot of value. Make sure you keep an eye out for the news & updates article as I'll touch on any news/value that comes out from now until then. I most certainly know I'm recommending a lot of expensive options tonight, it's just the nature of the slate. We will get to some decent value, but this is a slate that will come down to the $10k+ guys. The first one we'll look at is Russell Westbrook. As a guy that should be the most expensive option on every slate around $12k, he's a little too cheap. Especially if Paul George is out once again and he sees an extra 4-5% usage. This match-up with the Charlotte Hornets is an average one if Batum is on him and an exceptional one if Kemba stays. Dwight Howard isn't much of a rim protector and the Hornets have allowed the 5th most FP in the paint to opposing PG's. Westbrook is by no means a must with so many options, but he's right up there with the best of 'em. He's worth a look in both cash games and tournaments. Chris Paul FD - $9000 DK - $8100Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 47.32 DK - 48.9 Point guard is not a spot to pay down at tonight. Unless some serious news breaks, there's nobody under $5k worth considering. We're going to move down in price a tad with Chris Paul. This is a very exciting DFS game and the one that will likely draw the most ownership. It'll be interesting to see how the Pelicans respond on a tough B2B, but the Rockets should have no issues at all. Aside from being extremely tired, the Pelicans are the league's worst team against PG's. They...

Point guard Kyrie Irving FD - $7800 DK - $8000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 41.36 DK - 42.42 After a very interesting 4-game Thursday slate, we have 8 games on our hands tonight. There are a lot of slower games on the slate and it'll keep scored down a bit, but there are a few spots you can game stack. The first guy we're looking at is not in one of those games. The Celtics and Spurs are both on the slow side, but the Spurs struggle against point guards and Kyrie has been insanely consistent. He's the clear number 1 option on this offense and is putting up at least 30 fantasy points every single night. He isn't hitting the 60-70 ceiling I expected, but has got to around 50 once or twice a week. His price has dipped below $8k and cheaper than Lowry, Elfrid, and Kemba, who are all decent options on this slate. Neither stands far above the rest and it should result in all of them under 25% owned. The Spurs are running a 3-man roto at PG with Parker, Mills, and Murray. Neither are very good defenders are known as such because of the system they play in. Kyrie will be able to dominate each of them 1-on-1 and will eventually draw Danny Green. The Spurs will put that off as long as possible and Kyrie should have no problem getting his in a game that is expected to remain very close. He doesn't have as much upside as the guy we'll touch on next, but is as safe as anyone at this position. Kemba Walker FD - $8700 DK - $8100 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 39.49 DK - 40.66 If you're fine with paying up a little bit at PG, Kemba Walker is in a great spot. We know how much he loves to play at home and they're currently on a homestand as we speak. He put up 44 and 54 fantasy points over the last 2 games and now gets the best match-up of the 3 in the Chicago Bulls. On the season, they rank 4th worst against point guards with 48 FPPG allowed. His price has been...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Devin Booker has been ruled out for at least 2-3 weeks The Suns have already announced that it will be Josh Jackson getting the start. He's already been getting around 20-30 minutes, so you have to think he gets to 33-35 tonight. Against a Wizards team that can play fast, he's a great way to get some value. He's close to minimum on both sites and close to a guarantee to hit value. With that being said, he's only going to take a few of Booker' shots. Most of them will go to T.J. Warren, who is going to get a ton of added responsibility on his shoulders. He's a solid play against a good defender in Otto Porter. Tyler Ulis, Troy Daniels, and Mike James will all get small bumps, but it's pretty tough to guess what happens in this situation. Any of these guys can dominate in tournaments and are worthy of consideration. All in all, Josh Jackson and T.J. Warren are great cash game plays who are extremely under-priced. Paul George and Jerami Grant have been ruled out Paul George has been getting into his groove and was more of a 1b on offense over the last couple. Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony will both see boosts and are phenomenal plays against dreary Nets defense. I think most people will just pivot to Westbrook, but Melo does see a humongous bump as well. Especially with the backup PF in Grant out as well. Josh Huestis will get the rest of those, but he can be fully ignored. All in all, Melo and Westbrook are 2 of the best plays on the entire slate. I will have both of them everywhere. Trevor Booker has been traded for Jahlil Okafor and Nik Stauskas Assuming these guys didn't sprint to a runway and hop on a plane right away, they'll be out tonight. Stauskas and Okafor play meaningless roles, so it doesn't do much to Philly. Booker, however, does play at least 20 minutes in most games. RHJ should see a few and the rest will go to the trio of centers that each play nominal minutes. RHJ is interesting, but he's expensive on a slate with some very expensive and...

Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11500 DK - $12000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 53.98 DK - 57.42 We'll kick it right into high gear with the most expensive option on the slate in Russell Westbrook. With just 4 games on tonight's slate, you're going to have to be smart about how you pay up and how you get value. Russell Westbrook is going to cost you a pretty penny, but might be a guy you end up needing in cash games. Even at the inflated price, he has upside. He's been over 60 fantasy points in 5 of the last 8 games and he's starting to look a lot more like '16 Russ. It likely has something to do with the Thunder struggling and him looking to shoulder more of the load. He should have a pretty easy time tonight facing off with Spencer Dinwiddie and Isaiah Whitehead. They rank 4th worst in the league against PG's and it's because of the 104 PACE. Sitting 3rd in the league behind just the Suns and Lakers, the Nets love to run with a 104 PACE. If you ignore the Lakers and Suns, it's the fastest number since PACE has been recorded. Russell Westbrook is going to slice and dice through this defense all night and will have nothing to worry about once he gets to the rim. This defense is pitiful and Westbrook will crush when in there. For me, this is one of 3-4 guys that I'll make sure I have 100% of. Lonzo Ball FD - $6600 DK - $6500 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 30.82 DK - 31.35 No matter what your opinion is on Lonzo or his dad, you have to try to take an objective stand as best as you can. Personally, I don't care about any of it so I've hopefully been able to do that. There's no doubt that he's been disappointing with his shot, but everything else has been nice. He's stuffing the stat sheet on a nightly basis and it's obvious if you watch the games that his trust with teammates is slowly building. The Lakers get a great matchup tonight with a team that will match their...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Stephen Curry is out for "at least a couple weeks" There's a lot to process on the Warriors front tonight. We know Stephen Curry is out and he's going to be out for an extended period of time. The Warriors haven't shown a willingness to play Livingston for big minutes even with Curry out, so he's not too attractive. Quinn Cook will get the start and is somewhat interesting with Patrick McCaw out as well, but I wouldn't look at him outside of a tournament. Usage-wise, Thompson and Durant see huge bumps. Draymond Green is questionable, so we kind of have to take a wait-and-see approach to this situation. Kristaps Porzingis is expected to return against the Grizzlies The Grizzlies are a team that plays slow and don't allow much on the inside. They rank 10th best against PF's with Green at the helm and while Porzingis can always go for 50 FP, this is a tough spot. I assume he will see a few fewer minutes than normal and in a game with one of the lowest O/U's, it's just not really necessary. With so many options on this slate, let'sallow the Knicks to sort things out and take another look next game. Willie Culey-Stein has been ruled out against the Cavs WCS exited last game against the Bucks after just 8 minutes and the Kings played small ball for the rest of the night. We also saw JaKarr Sampson pick up 24 minutes. At minimum price, I guess you could do worse. I won't be anywhere near him, however.This team is an overall mess and Bogdanovic is my favorite King on the board, but they'll probably get blown out. Marcus Morris has been ruled out with a knee injury This is just a day off to continue the rehab process and I'm sure the Celtics won't be stretching anyone out like crazy as a result. Jayson Tatum may see 5 or 6 extra minutes and makes for an interesting play against a Dirk Nowitzki that doesn't play any defense. Daniel Theis may also get 5 or 6 extra, but that would put him at just 15-20. Horford, Brown, and Smart will absorb the rest of the minutes and are...
