Tuesday, March 27th
Good afternoon Grinders! Welcome to our newest addition to DRAFT Premium. Each day, I will go over the NBA slate with tier rankings for head-to-head, three man, and six man drafts. I’ll also provide a brief slate analysis as to how to attack drafts for the slate.
A couple notes to remember about DRAFT contests. One, there is no salary cap so you’re not worried about fitting players in on a budget. Raw fantasy points is what matters most, not the popular point per dollar. Second, while there is no late swap, if a player is ruled out, you will be able to swap them out. For more information on how this works, read the DRAFT Swap Rules Page – for this reason you can take some marginal chances in the later rounds on players that are questionable to play. Last, roster requirements are two guards, two forwards, and one center. All analysis and rankings will be based on that.
Slate Overview
7:00 PM EST: San Antonio (-1.5) at Washington O/U 201.5
7:30 PM EST: Denver at Toronto (-9) O/U 226.5
8:00 PM EST: Cleveland (-4) at Miami O/U 218.5
8:00 PM EST: Chicago at Houston (-17.5) O/U 218.0
8:00 PM EST: Portland at New Orleans (-1.5) O/U 222.0
10:00 PM EST: Dallas at Sacramento (-1.5) O/U 205.0
10:30 PM EST: Milwaukee at LA Clippers (-3) O/U 225.5
10:30 PM EST: Indiana (-6.5) at Golden State O/U 201.5
If you would have told me three months ago that Indiana would be 6.5 point favorites at Golden State with a game total of 201.5, I would have quite literally and figuratively laughed in your face and not stopped laughing for at least five minutes. That’s how decimated by injuries the Warriors are right now though as that’s precisely the scenario we have today. The Rockets, without James Harden, are still 17.5 point favorites making Chris Paul a very risky proposition as the G1 (which is where he is projected). Forwards rule the day with the top three projected values coming from that position. These three (Davis, Giannis, and LeBron) should also be the top three picks of every single draft. No questions asked.
