Glad we got that ugly Monday slate out-of-the-way. My lineups from yesterday did ok, could have been better, but I could say that every night. Tonight's slate is much more appealing, with plenty of star and value plays. I'm not going to waste any time tonight, let's get to the top ten.
Today's Top Ten Plays
10) SG Dwyane Wade $7900 He had a couple down games versus some good match-ups, which is why his price tag has dropped below 8k again. He has a tough matchup with the Bucks, so why do I like him tonight? Total gut call. He is due for a big game.

9) SG DeMar DeRozan $7600 DeDe has been hot lately, scoring over 35 Fanduel points in his last 3 games. Detroit, on paper, is pretty good against the shooting guard position, but I think some of that is because they are so bad on the interior. He'll be good for 35+ again tonight.
8) PG Damian Lillard $8100 Lillard is really an up and down player, with a game at 23 Fanduel points and one at 52 in his last 10 games. It's also a tough matchup, so why do I like him? He is all they have. I don't expect Batum nor Aldridge to play in this game, so he may have to do all the scoring.
7) SF Kawhi Leonard $8500 I don't think I give him enough love in my Top Ten. I tend to over look him for some reason, but not tonight. He is one guy on the Spurs team that never needs a “rest” day, and he can fill the stat sheet. In a big game versus the Mavericks, I expect him to put his fingerprints all over this game.
6) SG Giannis Antetokounmpo $7500 Listed as a shooting guard, he plays more small forward, which is why he had a rough go versus the Cavs. He had Lebron on him a lot in that game. Previous to that game, he flirted with 40 Fanduel points in 3 straight, surpassing 40 once. Pace will be a factor in this game, as both teams play slow, but Alphabet will be good for 40+ tonight in a pretty good matchup.
5) PF Nerlens Noel $7600 He had a tough outing versus the Lakers the other day, after his huge game versus the Knicks. I was unable to watch any of this game, so I'm not exactly sure what happened? Maybe it was foul trouble? Either way, he is normally more consistent than that, so I expect him to bounce back, in a good matchup, against the Kings.
4) SF Rudy Gay $8600 He had a down game last time out, and by down, I mean he only had 36 Fanduel Points. He has a better matchup tonight with the 76ers coming to town. The good thing about taking star players in a matchup of bad teams, there is typically no blowout potential.
3) PG Steph Curry $9800 Curry hasn't been Curry lately. Scoring in the 30's over his 4 games(excluding Monday night, game is still going on while I write this), his price has come down a bit. He might still be a little over-priced for his current production, but he can explode at any time. Lillard plays little to no defense normally, and now that he'll have to shoulder the load on offense, it'll be worse.
2) C DeMarcus Cousins $10700 He had 72 Fanduel Points versus them last time. That's all you need to know.
1) PG Russell Westbrook $13300 Yeah, it's that guy again. What else can I say?
Honorable Mentions
- PG Ish Smith $5600
- C Hassan Whiteside $8100
- PG Tony Parker $6000
- C Enes Kanter $6900
- SF Khris Middleton $6900
Dunks of the Night
- C Steven Adams $5500 Gets 30+ minutes and puts up a lot of peripherals and great matchup.
- SG KCP $5200 Very streaky, but if he is hot, he can give you 35+.
- PF Ersan Ilyasova $5600 Tough game last time out, but has a better matchup in this game and should be over 30 tonight.
Not a ton of Dunks tonight, there is a lot of risk involved with most of the players playing tonight.
Passes of the Night
- SG Monta Ellis $6500 Way to unpredictable and hasn't reached value in his last 2 games.
- SF Chandler Parsons $6300 Same note as Ellis, hard to trust anyone in Dallas right now.
That's it for the Passes, a lot of viable candidates at the top tonight.
Punts of the Night
- SG Arron Afflalo $4000 Someone is going to have to help with the scoring with Batum and Aldridge expected to be out.
- SF Dorell Wright $3500 see Afflalo
- SF Jodie Meeks $3900 Afflalo will be a popular punt option, Meeks can be you low-owned alternative.
- SG Anthony Morrow $4400 Seven straight games scoring in double figures and his fantasy production overall has been getting better.
Sorry it was a little abbreviated today, my lunch break isn't long enough!
