Thursday, January 25th
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: Brooklyn at Detroit (-9) O/U 209.0
7:30 PM EST: Houston (-4.5) at Miami O/U 211.0
8:00 PM EST: Minnesota (-3.5) at Cleveland O/U 221.0
8:00 PM EST: Utah (-7.5) at Memphis O/U 202.0
8:00 PM EST: Indiana at New Orleans (-3) O/U 221.0
10:30 PM EST: San Antonio (-9.5) at Phoenix O/U 203.0
It’s a unusually small slate for a Wednesday with only six games taking place and two of them having totals significantly higher than the other four games. There is some fantasy goodness to be had from those two games from Minnesota, Cleveland, Indiana, and New Orleans and many of our top picks will come from there. That said, there are some plays we’ll look at from the other games, especially from the likes of Andre Drummond and James Harden who should be top five picks today.
