New Orleans Pelicans

Record: 29-47 — Road: 9-29 — Last 10: 5-5

I am on double Grind Down (NBA & MLB) duty right now, so with two full slates to break down, I will keep the analysis short and sweet for each game. The Pelicans have tightened their rotation recently, which has led to some major minutes for some very cheap players. This is a great spot to target New Orleans, as the Sixers have one of of the worst defenses in the entire NBA. It also helps that this game is expected to stay close. When is the last time you saw either of these teams playing in a game with a 2.5-point spread? Alexis Ajinca may be a popular value play tonight. While the matchup looks good on paper, the Sixers have been playing a lot of small ball. I’m not sure how many minutes we can expect from him.

Hamilton has been terrific over his last five games, averaging 24.6 fantasy points in 28 minutes per contest. The Pelicans only have so many active bodies and we can expect Hamilton to play 30+ minutes in a favorable matchup against the Sixers. He is an elite value play in all league formats.

Frazier is still coming off the bench, but his minutes are trending upward. Over his last five games, he is averaging 29.2 fantasy points in 28.6 minutes per contest. He draws an elite matchup against the Sixers, who are ranked 28th against point guards this season. If his price was a little cheaper, I would consider him an elite play.

Luke Babbitt

There was one night this season when everyone was on Babbitt. It just so happened to be his worst game in the last few weeks. He has been in good form over his last five games, averaging 27 fantasy points per contest. The Pelicans are projected to score 100.8 points tonight and that production has to come from somewhere.

Philadelphia 76ers

Record: 9-68 — Home: 6-32 — Last 10: 0-10

The Sixers have the worst record in the NBA, but they have a good chance of picking up their tenth victory of the season tonight. They are 2.5-point favorites against the D-League Pelicans. The Sixers are projected to score 103.3 points, which gives them the third highest projected point differential on the board. Nerlens Noel is expected to miss tonight’s game. Carl Landry will continue to start in his absence. Landry has flashed some upside, making him an intriguing punt play tonight at home.

Revenge game!

Actually, the Pelicans may be Smith’s favorite team. After being released by the Sixers, the Pelicans signed him and gave everyone else a look at what he is capable of. The Sixers then traded back for him. I like Smith tonight more for his matchup than for the revenge narrative. Over the last three weeks, the Pelicans are ranked 24th against point guards.

Covington is coming off of a couple of subpar fantasy outings, but his minutes have been up since entering the starting lineup. He should see 32-34 minutes in a favorable matchup tonight against the Pelicans at home. He is one of my favorite GPP plays on the board, but he may be a little too expensive to use in cash games.

Detroit Pistons

Record: 41-36 — Road: 16-22 — Last 10: 7-3

The Pistons are currently tied with the Pacers for the seven seed in the Eastern Conference. They also hold a slim two-game lead over the Bulls’ for the eighth and final playoff spot, so they still have a ton to play for. While this is the point of the season where we want to target players that are on teams that have something to play for, the Pistons draw an awful matchup against the Heat. The Pistons are only projected to score 100.5 points, which gives them the eighth lowest projected point differential. Marcus Morris has been on a tear over the last couple of weeks, but there are better options at small forward tonight.

Elite Plays

NONE

Secondary Plays

NONE

Miami Heat

Record: 44-32 — Home: 25-13 — Last 10: 6-4

The Heat are another team that still has a lot to play for. They are currently in a four way tie (in the loss column) for third place in the Eastern Conference standings. One game could end up being the difference between hosting a playoff series and having to go on the road. Despite a tough matchup on paper, the Heat are still projected to score 103.5 points, which gives them the sixth highest projected point differential on the board. If Dwyane Wade is unable to suit up, Goran Dragic, Luol Deng, and Gerald Green would all see a small boost. If Wade plays, he is a viable play in all league formats.

Whiteside let a lot of people down the other night against the Kings. Outside of that game, he has been in tremendous form, averaging 43.3 fantasy points in his last five games. His matchup against Andre Drummond doesn’t appear to be great on paper, but Whiteside put up 41.2 fantasy points in his last meeting against the Pistons.

Charlotte Hornets

Record: 44-32 — Road: 16-21 — Last 10: 7-3

The Hornets are one of the four teams that are currently tied for the three seed with 32 losses on the season. They also have a lot to play for, as they could potentially host a first round playoff series. They draw a difficult matchup tonight against the Raptors, who are ranked fourth in points allowed per game and fifth in fantasy points allowed per game this season. The Hornets are only projected to score 97.8 points, which gives them the fifth lowest projected point differential on the board. Nicolas Batum is questionable for this game. If he sits out, Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lin would become viable GPP plays.

Elite / Secondary Plays

TBD – With Nicolas Batum off the floor this season, Kemba Walker has a usage rate of 31. He would become a strong tournament play (as would Jeremy Lin) if Batum is ruled out.

Toronto Raptors

Record: 51-25 — Home: 29-9 — Last 10: 6-4

The Raptors have been resting players down the stretch of the regular season. They are three and a half games behind the Cavaliers with only five to play, so basically they are locked into the second seed. The Raptors are only 5-point favorites tonight, but I’m a little nervous about the minutes for the starters. At this point of the season, we want to target teams that either have something to play for, or that have nothing to play for and are giving their young players extended minutes.

Elite Plays

Lowry’s production has been way down since he hurt his elbow injury. While that’s certainly a concern with little to play for down the stretch of the regular season, the Raptors want to get him going again before the playoffs. His price has come way down across the industry and he draws a favorable matchup against the Hornets. Lowry is a strong GPP play tonight at home.

Phoenix Suns

Record: 20-57 — Road: 7-31 — Last 10: 2-8

The Suns are one of many teams that are well out of the playoff picture. They are basically giving heavy minutes to their young players in order to see what they want to do roster wise moving forward. The Suns draw a tough matchup tonight against the Hawks, who are ranked sixth in points allowed per game and second in defensive efficiency. Phoenix is only projected to score 96.5 points, which gives them the sixth lowest projected point differential on the board. The good news is that their starters should see big minutes even if the game gets out of hand.

Teletovic has been tremendous over his last five games, averaging 31.8 fantasy points in over 30 minutes per contest. He has now taken at least 16 shots in five straight games and he should see big minutes regardless of the outcome of tonight’s game. The best part is that his ownership has remained low, likely because he still comes off the bench.

Secondary Plays

Anytime we can project a player to see around 40 minutes and take around 20 shots, we have to at least be interested. Booker’s matchup against the Hawks is less than appealing, but the Suns are giving this kid all of the opportunity that he can handle. He is a borderline elite play tonight at shooting guard.

Tyson Chandler

Chandler must have found the same fountain of youth that Dirk Nowitzki drank from a few weeks ago. He has played at least 34 minutes and has scored at least 33 fantasy points in each of his last three games. For cash games, DeMarcus Cousins (FD) and Pau Gasol should be the chalk plays at center, which makes Chandler a terrific GPP target.

Atlanta Hawks

Record: 45-32 — Home: 24-14 — Last 10: 7-3

The Hawks are one of the four teams that are vying for that third seed in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. They should be able to pick up an easy win tonight against the Suns, as they are listed as 14.5-point favorites. While the Hawks still have a lot to play for, that doesn’t mean that their starters will see extended action in a blowout. Given the spread of the game, I see the Hawks as better GPP plays than cash game targets.

Millsap is always one of my favorite plays in daily fantasy basketball. He is consistent and he can fill up all areas of the stat sheet. He comes into tonight’s game in terrific form, averaging 43.3 fantasy points in his last five games. The only downside is that his minutes could be limited in a potential blowout against the Suns.

Teague is arguably my favorite tournament play on the board tonight. His minutes, production, and usage are all way up over his last five games and now he gets to face one of the worst defensive backcourts in the NBA. Teague has 40+ fantasy point type of upside tonight, especially if the Suns can find a way to keep this game close.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Record: 55-22 — Road: 23-15 — Last 10: 7-3

The Cavaliers have all but locked up the number one seed in the Eastern Conference. They have been resting players here and there, which has allowed LeBron James to go on an incredible run. The Cavaliers are listed as 6-point favorites tonight against the Bucks in Milwaukee. They are projected to score 105.3 points, which gives them the seventh highest team total on the board. The big question mark here is the status of Kyrie Irving. If he is unable to suit up, give a sizable boost to LeBron James, Kevin Love, and Matthew Dellavedova. All three would become borderline elite plays in his absence.

Elite / Secondary Plays

TBD – With Kyrie Irving off the floor this season, here is the usage breakdown of the three players mentioned above: LeBron James (), Kevin Love (), and Matthew Dellavedova (). All three would become borderline elite plays if he is ruled out. If Irving is active, Dellavedova would become an easy fade, while James and Love would become secondary options.

Milwaukee Bucks

Record: 32-45 — Home: 23-16 — Last 10: 3-7

The Bucks don’t have a lot to play for, but they are trying to develop their young players. Given all of the injuries, we are seeing huge minutes from their starters (with the exception of Greg Monroe). Tonight they host the Cavaliers in a game that is actually expected to be competitive. This is not a great matchup for fantasy production though, as Cleveland owns a top three defense. The big question here is the availability of Khris Middleton. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jabari Parker both see a major usage boost when he is off the floor.

Elite / Secondary Plays

TBD – If Khris Middleton is ruled out, Giannis Antetokounmpo would become a borderline elite play in cash games and an excellent GPP play. He has a usage rate of 26 this season without Michael Carter-Williams and Khris Middleton off the floor. Jabari Parker would also be worth a look if Middleton is ruled out, even though the Cavaliers have been tough on opposing frontcourts.
