I hope no one got screwed by that postponed game the other night because I did and it sucked! I was unable to check my lineups after 6:15 pm, and I had C.J. McCollum in my lineups. My night was over early.
After a small three-game slate yesterday, we get a nice sized 11-game slate tonight. Hopefully, we don’t get too many last minute surprises, but this is the NBA so who knows. Here is the spreadsheet link and my analysis for tonight…
DFS NBA FanDuel Lineup Spreadsheet 3/8/17
What I’m Seeing:
George Hill $6,100
Hill stood out to me right away as the No. 1 overall graded player, but I don’t think he is going to play. If he does play, I expect him to be limited, but he could make for a good low-owned GPP play at $6,100 — if he plays.
Paul Milsap $7,900 Â / Â John Wall $10,200
Two guys with the “best” grade also have the three thumbs up for the matchup. Milsap gets the Nets, who are a three thumbs up matchup for every position, and Wall gets the Nuggets that have been atrocious in points allowed to PGs.
Sean Kilpatrick $3,900
This one was a surprise to me. I had to go look at his recent game logs to see why he was given a “good” rating. I thought maybe it was being influenced by one big game over his last five, but I was surprised to see he has actually been quite good with three games of 30 or more over his last five. He is risky for sure, and I wouldn’t touch him in cash games, but he is a high-upside GPP play for sure.
Reggie Jackson $5,200 / Ish Smith $4,600
Have you ever heard the saying, “If you have two quarterbacks, then you have none.” Well, the same can be said for point guards in DFS. Both guys grade out pretty well, but it could come down to a “hot hand” as to who gets the most minutes, and your guess is as good as mine. I’ll pass on both.
Kawhi Leonard $9,600

He is still sub-10k. Play him.
Amir Johnson $4,000
Al Horford is expected to play making Johnson an afterthought. Avoid him.
Thabo Sefolosha $3,700
If you are looking for a safe cash game punt, Sefolosha is a good place to start. At $3,700 he has a good matchup, has hit value in six straight games, and grades out at a nice 27.15.
