Point Guard
Tony Parker, $5,300 – The Spurs are playing way up in pace and are also projected to score the most points of any team tonight, so it’s a good plan to target some Spurs. Minutes are a major concern for Parker right now, but his price is also very cheap. If Parker gets at least 27 minutes, he should be able to pay off this depressed tag with ease in an up-tempo game with Denver.
Mario Chalmers, $5,200 or Patty Mills $4,200- Dwyane Wade is currently listed as questionable for tonight’s game. If he is out then I prefer Chalmers, as he gets a big usage and minutes bump boost when Wade is out, and the Thunder have struggled against opposing PGs. However, if Wade plays, then Chalmers’ usage and minutes, as well as Napier’s, take a big hit. If Wade plays, then Mills makes a great punt option at 4.2K. With Parker’s minutes being limited and Marco Belinelli still out, Mills has settled into around 23 to 24 minutes per game.
Also Consider – Shabazz Napier (if Dwayne Wade out), Reggie Jackson, Jameer Nelson
Shooting Guard
Dion Waiters, $5,400 – Waiters has surprisingly been very good since his trade to OKC. He is averaging over 8 FD points above his season average over the past week, and has 15 real life points in each of his past four games. His minutes were limited due to an extreme blowout last game, but in the previous three games, he played at least 27 minutes in each and attempted at least 14 field goals.
