We've got you completely covered. Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12000 DK - $11800 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 61.2 DK - 64.65 Welcome to NBA Thursday! We kick things off in Oklahoma City, where the Suns and Thunder face-off in a game with a 228 total and 10 point spread. It's easily the highest total on the slate and we'll be targeting this game quite a lot. To no surprise, things get going with Russell Westbrook at the PG position. He just put up 72 fantasy points against the Suns a week ago and is playing his best basketball. The Suns play faster than anyone in basketball and rank bottom 10 against every position. Against PG's, they sit at 27th on the season and 28th since the ASB. Elfrid isn't necessarily a bad defender, but this team has no motivation to play defense, instead pushing the offense and getting the ball to the scorers as quickly as possible. Westbrook is the only true superstar on this slate with Karl-Anthony Towns the 2nd most expensive at just over $10k. He'll likely be popular because of it, but that's fine. This is one of the 3 best possible match-ups for Westbrook and I'll do my best to have him in every single lineup. There's no opportunity cost in the price range. Kemba Walker FD - $9000 DK - $8700 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 43.32 DK - 44.69 Let's head to the mid-range. In doing so, we skipped Steph Curry. He doesn't have the best match-up on paper, but the game against the Spurs is at least interesting if it stays close. We'll instead look at Kemba Walker, who has a phenomenal match-up with the Brooklyn Nets. On the season they rank dead last in terms of allowing fantasy points to opposing point guards. We love targeting Kemba at home and it's rare to see a 218 total in that arena. This is literally an ideal scenario for Walker. He's very well rested and I can't think of a situation I would rather he be in. Personally, I'll have him locked into all of my cash games and at least most tournaments. It's a branch I'm willing to die on tonight. Tyler Johnson FD - $5200 DK - $5200 Opponent...
