Tonight’s 7 game slate feature some of the best there is in the NBA with Giannis and the Bucks taking on a terrible Phoenix team, as well as LeBron and the Lakers playing the Clippers. Most of my guys are playing at home, and I believe that can be important for production. Hopefully my “home” strategy will prove to be a success!
My anchor for the night will be LeBron James at $11,200. Not only are the Lakers searching for answers after their terrible showing against the league worst Suns, they are vying for playoff contention as well. The Clippers are not going to stop LeBron and I am sure he will put on a show tonight. Landy Shamet and/or Danilo Gallinari will be tasked with guarding him, and neither will hinder him in my opinion. I will be pairing Rajon Rondo at $5,500 and I fully expect this game to be the chalkiest in terms of players picked. This LA showdown has the highest over/under of the night at 234 and don’t be surprised for the over to happen.
Atlanta and Miami will be an interesting matchup, especially since Trae Young’s technical fiasco. Miami will be the home team in this contest, and Justise Winslow will be my PG. At $5,800 he is averaging 28.1 DK points this year and that is exceptional value in a cash game. Kelly Olynyk is at $5,300 and has been on a tear lately. In the last week, he is averaging 33.6 DK points and the Hawks are very thin in the frontcourt.
The Sacramento Kings have my attention against the New York Knicks. The Knicks are in pieces, and the Kings love playing at a fast pace. DeAndre Jordan seems to be out for the game, leaving Mitchell Robinson to start. Willie Cauley-Stein is at $5,800 and I will be rolling him out. He is a double-double potential guy and averaging 30.5 DK points this season. Bogdan Bogdanovic is one of my favorite players to choose on a nightly basis…mainly because he has the potential to drop 30 every night, and he is at $5,600. Look for Bogdan to tear apart the guards of the Knicks.
