- Phoenix Proj. Starters – Bledsoe-Dragic-Tucker-Frye-Plumlee
Golden State
Vegas has this as a pick ‘em game and expects it to be one of the highest scoring games of the night. This is probably the best game to target across the board. All five starters are in play here. Andrew Bogut provides great value as does Harrison Barnes. Klay Thompson makes a nice upside play.
- Stephen Curry – Curry has been one of the hottest players in the NBA over the last week and that should continue tonight. He is one of the few players that can top 50 fantasy points any given night. Nice matchup against Dragic.
- David Lee – Lee is one of the better cash game plays tonight. He consistently puts up 30+ fantasy points and has a great matchup against Frye. The Suns are ranked 22nd against PF’s over the last two weeks.
Phoenix
The Suns are in a great spot tonight. The problem is that other than the backcourt, the Suns have been void of fantasy options lately. P.J. Tucker has been playing well, but his price reflects that now and seems a bit too expensive for what he gives you. The minutes for Frye, Plumlee, and the Morris brothers all vary each game.
- Eric Bledsoe – Bledsoe is back and finally fully healthy. He’s averaging 45 fantasy points over his last two games and has a huge quickness advantage over Klay tonight. He should push the pace and attack the rim.
- Goran Dragic – I’m not opposed to taking both of these guys tonight. I like the matchup for each player and they could easily both top 30 fantasy points. They are the two best players on the Suns and have favorable matchups.
