Guards
Top Play | Tyler Herro ($7,300)
Tyler Herro at $7,300 might seem absolutely crazy at least to me it does, but Miami is missing so many players. Jimmy Butler, Goran Dragic, and Bam Adebayo have all been ruled out already. Herro gets a massive usage bump with all 3 of those guys off the floor, 7.5% usage bump just with those 3 off the floor. Miami is so short-handed that Tyler Herro will be a staple in my lineups
Mid-tier | Jamal Murray ($6,900)
Jamal Murray is a player that has been super inconsistent this season. I might even say hes been bad this season. Murray is strictly a GPP dart at this point and price. I’m willing to take a shot here as a low owned play that could win you a tournament. There should be tons of value on this slate once again and some of this guys in the Mid-tier may go completely over looked. I feel like the game script fits great for Murray versus The Warriors, again this is a GPP play.
Value | Sterling Brown ($3,000)
I don’t know if I should even call out Sterling Brown by name, this could literally be anyone that plays Point-Guard for The Rockets, my guess is Sterling Brown and he could see upwards of 35 minutes if it ends up being him. He’s the flat minimum and it is extremely hard for those guys to hurt you.
Fade | Kyle Lowry ($8,100)
Kyle Lowry has not only been sub par this season but he is also over priced here.

Top Play | Pascal Siakam (8,500)

Pascal Siakam has had a really strong past 2 weeks. The increase in rebounding give his a much safer floor than he would normally have. Let’s face it The Raptors have a major problem at Center. Alex Len and Aaron Baynes are both not only bad player, but they play very minimal minutes. Siakam gets a great match-up here versus The Hornets which rank 29th versus The Forward position. Gordon Hayward could miss this game, he suffered an injury on Wednesday night. P.J. Washington cannot play on the perimeter with Siakam.
Mid-tier | Kelly Oubre (5,300)
Kelly Oubre has shot the ball extremely poor this season, 42% from the field and just 32% from 3, if he can get some shots to drop he should be able to make it at this price tag.
Value | Draymond Green ($5,400)
Draymond Green is finally seeing normal minutes again. Draymond is a 5 tool player which is always nice to see in the 5k price range. His minutes have ramped up to around 30 minutes per game the past 4 games. The Warriors also won’t play on Friday versus Phoenix due to Covid-19 contract tracing, meaning the starters could see some extra run do to an extra off day.
Fade | Tobias Harris ($7,900)
Tobias Harris will be a no go for me for as long as he is in this price range. Tobias Harris just offers no upside at this price even he gets you 40 DK points it won’t necessarily help you.

Centers
Top Play | Christian Wood ($7,700)
Christian Wood will likely end up being uber chalk tonight, however this is good chalk to eat in my opinion. Wood is the lone wolf tonight versus The Spurs. James Harden was traded in a mega deal, and John Wall has already been ruled out.
Mid-tier | LaMarcus Aldridge ($6,700)
LaMarcus Aldridge has turned into the ageless wonder the past week. He has been averaging over 30+ minutes the past 4 games. I always say minutes lead to production, especially with a guy like Aldridge. I would obviously like this play more if DeMar DeRozan was ruled out yet again, he has been away from the team the past 2 games due to personal reasons.
Value | Jusuf Nurkic ($5,300)
Jusuf Nurkic is one of my favorite Centers in the league, keep an eye on his status though, he was banged up prior to playing on Wednesday. He is coming off a rather large game of 18 points, 12 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks in 30 minutes. Nurkic took a $900 price decrease for no reason, and he is simply too cheap.
Fade | Nikola Jokic ($11,000)
Nikola Jokic has been absolutely brilliant this season. The 7 foot Center has been averaging a triple-double this season which is unreal when you think about it, however this one scares me, he is so expensive I think he is hard to get to. We would need some pretty insane value to open up to get here. The warriors like to play fast and shoot 3’s not exactly the game script you want for a 7 foot Center. Jokic is special he is my front runner for MVP, but tonight it’s just too steep.
