h3=. GENERAL SLATE THOUGHTS

9:45 AM ET – Happy Sunday, everyone! I want to send a special shout out to Notorious for covering in my stead yesterday. I appreciate it very much, especially since he had a busy day himself!

Now, we must immediately talk Sunday NBA. Someone forgot their coffee over at FanDuel HQ this morning, as Chimezie Metu is priced at $410. Someone forgot a zero. We need, what, eight points out of him to make it worthwhile? Starting a lineup with him gives you oodles of salary freedom at other spots. The problem is that he occupies your sole center spot on FD, so it’s not like you can play him along with Jokic. It makes for a very confusing decision point, especially since Metu is not a lock for production with a 13 minute projection. Fascinating. That said, he should play more down the stretch and has played well in the last two games.

As for the rest of the slate, we have a manageable five game Sunday evening on tap, and most of the injury news is already known.
