Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
STLCardinals84: Tyreke Evans has seen his usage increase by 3% this year with Mike Conley off the floor, and he should be heavily involved for the Grizzlies moving forward with Conley out indefinitely. It’s a little tougher to lock him into lineups since he still comes off the bench and now has increased price point, but he plays starter’s minutes, and the Grizzlies get a pace up game against the Rockets tonight. Evans should be worth the money tonight.
naapstermaan: Dennis Smith Jr. is 8th in usage (min. 10 games played) on the year, ahead of guys like Griffin, Durant, Walker, Simmons, and other studs. Coming off a bad game on a b2b I think his ownership will plummet to under 5%, but I think his usage/min could be pretty high tonight since older Mavs guys on a b2b could be a step slower while Dennis will be fine. He is a pure GPP play but has 45 FP upside with no one on him.
BigT44: If Conley remains out these Memphis guys become complete locks in my mind. Tyrke Evans has been right around 40 fantasy points even with Conley in the mix but if he is out he is asked to do so much more that he becomes a complete lock. He is the perfect fit in this offense because of how much he creates on an offense that has always needed just this.
What’s your hot take of the day?
STLCardinals84: Golden State scores 130 points against the Sixers.
naapstermaan: Eric Bledsoe is best pt/$ PG today
BigT44: 76ers beat GS and Both studs go off again
Who will you be most overweight on compared to the field and why?
STLCardinals84: Memphis Grizzlies – There is usage to go around with Conley on the shelf, and Memphis draws a fine matchup against a Rockets team that ranks third in the NBA in tempo. I will be overweight on Gasol, Chalmers, and Evans this evening.
naapstermaan: Definitely most of the Grizzlies but also Lou Williams. With two games under 30 FPP in his last three and a pretty easy day to fit studs with values I think he could go overlooked at his 6.8k price tag. I don’t think hes a cash game play but against a GPP field with his upside I think going overweight on a guy with 60 FPP upside at lower than usual ownership could payoff huge.
BigT44: All of Memphis they have a great matchup and so much extra usage at these prices so it is a total lock for me.
