Philadelphia
Two pretty terrible teams get to face off against each other in the last game of the day. I don’t exactly know what the 76ers are trying to do, but they have won two in a row and three out of the last five. These kids are going to ruin that first draft pick if they continue this! They have another chance at a win against the Lakers tonight who are 28th in the league in points allowed.
Elite Plays
Nerlens Noel – His price continues to rise, but for good reason. He is coming off a monster game of 56 fantasy points against the Knicks and have just as good of a matchup against the Lakers who struggle to stop anyone. He has a big time ceiling tonight and his price being under 8k makes him a great play.
Secondary Plays
Ish Smith – Part of the recent success of the 76ers could be attributed to Smith starting and playing very well. He has two 33-point fantasy performances in a row and his price is sitting at a place where he needs under 30 to reach value. That should be obtainable today against the Lakers, who are last in the league at defending point guards.
L.A. Lakers
The Lakers have been terrible all season long, and are also in position to grab the number one pick in the draft. They are 4-point favorites today against Philadelphia in a game with a total of 193.
Elite Plays
None
Secondary Plays
Jordan Clarkson – Clarkson has scored over 25 fantasy points in each of his last three games and draws a good matchup against the 76ers who have struggled against both guard positions all year long.
