Point Guards
Isaiah Thomas- $7,500 @SAC(Revenge Game Alert)Â
I love Isaiah Thomas, he’s 5’9″ and puts up 20 points/game on some of the best athletes in the world. My favorite part about Isaiah’s game is his consistency. Thomas is a lock for 20 points and 7 assists every single night. He has scored more than 32 DK points in EVERY single game this season, except for one against the Hawks. Vegas predicts this game as the highest scoring of the night(212.5 combined points), not only that but it is supposed to be the closest too(Celtics -2), which means stack both Celtics and Kings. Thomas is playing his former team and he’s going to want to put on a show, watch for Thomas to have a huge night.

Shooting Guards
DeMar DeRozan-$7,400 @DEN
DeRozan is only $7,100 tomorrow, which feels like stealing. Whenever the Nuggets are playing, I usually draft 2 or 3 players on the opposing team. The Nuggets struggle defensively and Mudiay turns the ball over so much, which means a lot of steals for the other team. DeRozan is far and away the best shooting guard option tomorrow and playing one of the worst defensive teams in the league, DeRozan and company should have big days.
Evan Turner- $4,800 @SAC
This year, Turner is shooting a dreadful 13% from 3-point range, in fact, Turner hasn’t made a three pointer in his last 10 games! He can however turn it around against the Kings, who give up the most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards. In fact, Last game, Turner played 33 minutes against Miami and had 30.5 DK points. He shot better from the floor(5-11) and had three steals as well. Turner had the most minutes off the Celtics bench(even more than starter Jae Crowder). This game is going to be very high scoring, so if Turner can get minutes, he’s valuable.
“The Sleeper Pick”-Â Gerald Green
Small Forwards
Gordon Hayward-$6,600 vs. ORL
I was wondering when Gordon Hayward was gonna make it into on of our articles! Last year, Hayward was around $8,000, but tonight he is just $6,600 on DK. Hayward is averaging 18 PPG, 4.8 RPG, and 2.9 APG, yet nobody has been talking about him at all. Hayward is poised for a big game against the Magic. Fournier isn’t great on defense and Hayward is on a hot streak. His last 4 games he has averaged 23.3 PPG. His price is relatively low, so I am all in on Hayward tonight.
Omri Casspi-$4,700 vs. BOS (Casspi is Doubtful)****
Besides Hayward, there are not many small forwards to choose from. Not a lot of intriguing match ups, but Omri Casspi will be playing in a high scoring game, and he could have a big day. After all, Fantasy is a game of “ifs.” Omri has been starting at small forward for the Kings and playing a lot of minutes. His last four games he has averaged 30.2 minutes/game. He gets a lot of rebounds at the small forwards spot, he should outperform his price.
(Pay up for the big guys tonight at SF)
Power Forwards
DeMarcus Cousins-$10,600 vs. BOS
Cousins will be in all my lineups tonight. Boston has no one who can defend the power forward/center spot. The two teams are projected a combined 212.5 points, which means Cousins will be scoring a ton of points. Cousins added a 3-pointer to his game this offseason which makes him practically unguardable. Last year Cousins put up 78 DK points twice in the same week, so insane numbers like that aren’t out of the question for him. Cousins is the only top tier player I recommend paying up for tonight.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Trevor Booker
Centers
Meyers Leonard- $4,600 @IND
Blazer’s coach Terry Stotts leaned heavily on Meyers Leonard last game, Leonard had 40.5 DK points in 32 minutes on the floor. The Pacers struggle against big men, they even have C.J. Miles playing power forward now and Lavoy Allen is starting too. Hopefully Stotts takes notice of Leonard’s excellent play and rewards him with more minutes. Leonard took 17 shots last game and his usage rate was through the roof. Leonard can stretch the floor with his 3-point shot and gets a lot of rebounds as well.
Marc Gasol- $7,400 @ SA
Gasol was a phenomenal last game, scoring 71.25 DK points. This game is set to be a defensive struggle, but I think Gasol can still put up points without scoring points. Gasol gets rebounds, blocks, and a ton of assists for a 7-footer. He is averaging 4.1 assist/game on the year. This game is supposed to be close, so look for Gasol to get good minutes. Let’s see if Marc can keep his hot streak going against the Spurs on Thursday.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Nikola Jokic
