Happy Tuesday!

It was not a great slate for me on Monday night. Between Bobby Portis, Jose Alvarado, and others, I fell way short of the cash line. However, we are back at it tonight. There are only 4 games on the schedule, and all 8 teams are playing on the front end of a back-to-back. On the positive side, there’s not a single team playing on the second half of a back-to-back. This should be a fairly quiet day of injury news.

I don’t have any updates on the personal front. We are working on the house and prepping for baby girl. However, if anyone has any show recommendations, let me know. We are always on the lookout for a good new show to watch.

Let’s dive into this small 4-game slate.

Team Previews

Toronto Raptors (at PHI)

We kick off the slate with the Raptors, who are 16-37 on the season. They travel to Philadelphia to take on a Sixers team that is 28th in pace. The Raptors are listed as 8-point underdogs and have a team total that is 2 points lower than their season average. On the injury front, RJ Barrett, Brandon Ingram, and Jakob Poeltl are all out. Scottie Barnes can fill up the stat sheet and is showing up in the optimal lineup around 30% of the time. Gradey Dick (0.84 DK / 0.81 FD) is cheap and should push for 30 minutes in this one. Ochai Agbaji isn’t quite as productive on a per-minute basis but is only $4,000 on DraftKings. Immanuel Quickley played 30 minutes in his last game, which was his most in a month. He should dominate usage with Barrett and Ingram out.
