We've got you completely covered. Point guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $6400 DK - $6500 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 36.54 DK - 37.42 I love how these two teams face off right as Eric Bledsoe gains his stride in Milwaukee. While we know narratives are always a little tough to navigate, this is a very new situation that should play a huge impact. I doubt Bledsoe is comfortable taking a bunch of shots away from his new teammates, but they will defer and he played a lot of PG anyway last game. He ended up playing 35 minutes and put up 41 fantasy points against John Wall. Ignoring the personal feud that Bledsoe has with the Suns, they stink against point guards. Since his departure, it's been Tyler Ulis and Mike James at the point. Two undersized guards that are in there for offense and speed. The Suns love to play fast and it'll be a certain pace-up game for a Bucks teams that plays somewhat slow. Vegas currently has this game at a 221 over/under with just a -5 line, so it should be high scoring and close. Bledsoe is way too cheap on both sites and a guy you can play in all formats, bar none. Damian Lillard FD - $9000 DK - $9100 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 44.43 DK - 46.16 There are a lot of different ways to pay up at point guard and a lot of them are in very solid spots. At the super high-end, Russell Westbrook has a very volatile match-up with the Warriors where he is a phenomenal tournament option. John Wall and Stephen Curry are also in good spots and can be played anywhere across the board. With that being said, Damian Lillard is our favorite of the bunch. He's struggled in 2 straight tough match-ups, so hopefully his ownership will be down with the other options. The 76ers toss out T.J. McConnell and Jerryd Bayless at point guard, who have exactly a 0% chance of slowing down Dame. I assume we'll see TLC or Covington on him at some point, which will at least be competitive. Lillard has been a stud both at home and on the road this year and Vegas...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Paul Millsap has been ruled out against the Kings He left the game after just 13 minutes of action yesterday, giving us a fairly good idea of the fantasy implications. Plumlee saw 30 minutes and is an excellent option in both cash games and tournaments. Lyles, Hernangomez, and Faried will split the rest. You cal also expect Nikola Jokic and crew to each get up a couple extra shots. What We're Waiting to Know John Wall is questionable against the Bucks Wall missed last game, so we certainly know the fantasy implications here. Brad Beal shot 23 times and will do whatever he wants for 34+ minutes. Tim Frazier picked up 35 minutes, but shot just 4 times, which isn't sustainable. They are both great plays in all formats if Wall is ruled out. If he plays, all the starters are in play for tourneys. Patrick Beverley is questionable to return after missing 5 games This one is pretty simple. Beverley gets big (28-32) minutes, so he's taking bunches of opportunity. If Beverley plays, Sindarius Thornwell will go back to the bench and Lou Williams will get some much needed rest. If he remains out, they are both in play against a weak Knicks defense. Tyreke Evans is questionable to play against the Blazers The Grizzlies are a fairly boring team, but Mike Conley is already ruled out, so they could be short-handed here. If Evans is out, Look for most of the minutes to go to James Ennis and Andrew Harrison. I'm tempted to think Chandler Parsons gets some extra run, but I don't know he's ever going to see 30 minutes again after what they have gone through with this guy. Tim Hardaway Jr. is questionable to play against the Clippers THJ shoots nearly as much as Porzingis, so there's a hole left if Hardaway is out. Porzingis is the first guy I would like as his usage would go through the roof. Minutes-wise, it should be a combo of Courtney Lee, Doug McDermott, and Frank Ntilikina. Zuniga is the only guy I have exposure to, but like Lee the most out of the rest. Every Lineup Guys Tim Frazier FD - $3100 DK - $3400Opponent - MILProj Pts...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $9900 DK - $10500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 46.83 DK - 48.63 At this point, the ship has sailed on Russell Westbrook being anywhere near the fantasy player he was last year. He's sharing the ball a lot more and it's let him lessen his workload. He's still been a monster, though, putting up 40+ FP nearly every game and flashing the 60+ upside a few times. He now gets a match-up against a Pelicans squad that struggles with perimeter defense. On the season, they've allowed 43 FPPG to opposing PG's, which really isn't too bad. However, Jrue Holiday is not the right guy to cover Westbrook. He's not fast nor strong enough, and can't stay with him to the rim. Westbrook is priced into the player he is this year and will only need you about 45-50 in cash games. In what should be a very close game down to the wire, Westbrook makes for a solid play in all formats. Tim Frazier FD - $3100 DK - $3400 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 23.76 DK - 23.84 For the sake of this article, we'll be assuming John Wall is out. He missed the game just yesterday and it's rare to see a guy return on the end of a B2B. On the off-chance Wall does play, every Washington Wizard we look at sees a slight downgrade. Frazier sees a massive one. In that game just last night, Frazier ended up with 24 fantasy points in 35 minutes. At his price, that's more than enough, and also just about his floor. He's typically a lot more active when on the court and should put the ball in the bucket more efficiently here. The Bucks are an average defensive team and we can count on the weakest of all to see Frazier. Any good defender will have his hands full with Beal and Porter on the perimeter, who will be doing the real scoring here. Frazier is an attractive min-priced PG who will get you 30 minutes and hit value. It's always something to consider on a slate like this. Kemba Walker FD - $8300 DK - $7900 Opponent - MIN...

We've got you completely covered. 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....

We've got you completely covered. 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,...
