Indiana Pacers

We have a massive 12 game slate on tap tonight. With a plane to catch this afternoon, I will keep the team analysis to a minimum and focus more on the picks from each game. If anyone happens to be going to the Waste Management Open, look for me in the crowd on the Par 3 16th hole. The Pacers have an implied total of 106.8 points tonight, as they square off against the Magic in Orlando. Jeff Teague draws the best matchup of the five starters and is constantly underowned in DFS. The Magic are ranked 28th against point guards this season and Teague is coming off of three straight 39+ fantasy point outings. C.J. Miles is expected to play tonight, but his appeal hinges on the availability of Rodney Stuckey, who has been upgraded to questionable. Paul George has scored at least 42 fantasy points in four straight games. While his price on FanDuel makes him close to unplayable, he is still a strong play on DraftKings at $8,100. Thaddeus Young is always a viable cash game option if you are stuck at power forward and need someone at his price point. The Magic have struggled with athletic centers this season and Myles Turner’s minutes have been trending in the right direction. If he stays out of foul trouble, he could play 35 minutes against a defense that is ranked 23rd against centers.

Orlando Magic

The Magic have played well recently and are only listed as 2-point underdogs tonight against the Pacers at home. This is an exploitable matchup, as Indiana is ranked 23rd in points allowed per game and 27th in rebounding differential. Orlando has been a frustrating team all season, but they are in a nice spot tonight. The problem is that they are fully healthy, which means Elfrid Payton, Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Vucevic should all go back to their usual roles in the offense. Evan Fournier may crack the starting lineup tonight, but I will continue to take a wait-and-see approach until he has a few good games under his belt. Payton is always worth a look in tournaments, especially in a pace-up game against the Pacers. Vucevic is my favorite play here, as the Pacers are ranked 20th against power forwards on the season and 27th over the last month of play. The minutes are always a concern with Vucevic, but he is averaging 1.14 fantasy points per minute and is one of the few high usage rate centers in the slate.

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Wolves catch the Cavaliers at a great time. There is strife between LeBron James and the Cavaliers’ management and they are going to be without Kevin Love tonight. The issues in Cleveland help explain why the spread is set at only seven points. While I don’t mind the matchup on paper, the Wolves are only projected to score 103 points, which is the eighth lowest implied total in the slate. The best way to attack Cleveland is with the opposing backcourt, but Ricky Rubio and Zach LaVine are both overpriced given their recent struggles with consistency. LeBron hasn’t been a shutdown defender this season, but I’m still not a huge fan of targeting players that are expected to be defending by him for 35+ minutes. Andrew Wiggins is a deep tournament play, but there are better cash game targets at small forward. Gorgui Dieng has been losing fourth quarter minutes to Shabazz Muhammad and Nemanja Bjelica. In a 12 game slate, he is an easy fade at his price point. Karl-Anthony Towns should have his lowest ownership in quite a while, but I’m not particularly thrilled about his matchup against Tristan Thompson. Towns if my favorite play here, but I probably will have very little exposure to the Wolves.

Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers are not in a great place right now. Their star player is asking management for more talent and management is saying that they have the highest payroll in the entire NBA. One trade rumor came out today that the Cavaliers are looking to swap Iman Shumpert for Deron Williams. It will be interesting to see what changes are going to be made before the trade deadline. While their recent form has been atrocious, I love the Cavaliers tonight at home against the Wolves. LeBron James may treat this as a statement game, especially after his war of words with Charles Barkley. I expect James to come out firing and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him post a triple double. He is right there with Russell Westbrook as the top overall play in the slate. Kyrie Irving sees the biggest usage boost with Kevin Love out of the lineup. He was on his way to a big game against the Mavericks, but ended up losing fantasy points in the fourth quarter in a game where the Cavaliers threw in the towel. Look for Irving to bounce back tonight against Ricky Rubio and the Wolves. The Cavaliers started small to match up with Dallas the other night, but will move Channing Frye into the starting lineup. Dollar for dollar, he is my favorite power forward value play in the slate.

Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks and Heat are two of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. It’s funny how that works, as a few weeks ago, they were two of the coldest teams in the league. While we can expect this game to stay close, it isn’t all that appealing from a fantasy perspective. The over/under is set at a paltry 203.5 points and the Hawks have the third lowest implied total in the slate. The only reason to target any of the Hawks tonight is if Thabo Sefolosha is ruled out. If he is unable to suit up, Kent Bazemore and Tim Hardaway could both push for 30 minutes. In that scenario, they would both offer decent value at their respective positions. Dennis Schroder has been wildly inconsistent recently and is an easy fade in a pace-down game against the Heat. Paul Millsap and Dwight Howard both draw difficult matchups against a Miami frontcourt that is ranked 11th against power forwards and ninth against centers this season.

Miami Heat

The Heat have won eight games in a row and are still four games out of the playoff picture in the East, which goes to show how bad they were playing before this winning streak. They draw a difficult matchup tonight against the Hawks, who are ranked tenth in points allowed per game and fifth in defensive efficiency. While the Heat do have an implied total that is 2.9 points higher than their season average, this is a good spot to hop off of Goran Dragic and Dion Waiters. Not only are their prices inflated thanks to their recent play, but we have a 12 game slate on tap with a ton of options at point guard and shooting guard. I expect Dragic and Waiters to be higher owned than they should, which makes them easy fades in my eyes. Hassan Whiteside basically needs 40+ fantasy points to reach value and he hasn’t cracked that mark one time in his last nine games. Even though the Heat have been red hot and even though they are favored at home, I will be taking a full fade stance on them tonight.

Toronto Raptors

The Raptors picked up a nice come from behind victory against the Pelicans last night at home. While some will be concerned about the fact that they played in overtime and have a quick turnaround, we’ve seen Dwyane Casey plays his starters big minutes in back-to-backs all season. With DeMar DeRozan out, there are a number of viable fantasy options tonight against the Celtics. Lowry is averaging 45 fantasy points per game without DeRozan in the lineup and he gets the Isaiah Thomas treatment, which I hear is pretty nice this time of year. If you look at the Defensive Real Plus-Minus (DRPM) numbers, Thomas is the worst defender in the entire NBA. Lowry is close to a cash game lock for me on both FanDuel and DraftKings. Norman Powell has taken at least 15 shots in each of the last four games that DeRozan has missed. He is way too cheap on FanDuel at a price of $4,200. It’s hard to argue a fade of Powell, although he will likely be one of the highest owned players in the slate. Terrence Ross is an intriguing GPP play off the bench. I expect him to be less than 10% owned and he has shown 25+ fantasy point upside. Patrick Patterson is a decent value at power forward, although I’d rather pay a few hundred more to get up to Channing Frye. I always like targeting Jonas Valanciunas against bad rebounding teams and Boston is currently ranked 26th in rebounding differential this season.

Boston Celtics

The Celtics were hoping to have Avery Bradley back in the lineup tonight, but he has been downgraded to doubtful. If he ends up being ruled out, we should know what to expect from Boston. Isaiah Thomas sees a nice usage boost and he has scored at least 20 actual points in 20-something straight games (couldn’t find the actual number). The issue with Thomas is that his price is $10,600 on FanDuel. It’s hard to justify paying that price in a 12 game slate, especially since point guard is such a deep position. If you want some exposure to Thomas, I would get it on DraftKings, where he is only $9,500. Jaylen Brown was quiet in his last game, but we expect rookies to play better at home. He is a nice bounce-back target in tournaments tonight on FanDuel at a price of only $3,800. Jae Crowder has stepped up in Bradley’s absence, scoring at least 32 fantasy points in four straight games. I like Crowder more if you are playing in one of the turbo slates compared to the full 12-game slate. Al Horford is still too cheap on DraftKings and we know that he sees a small usage boost with Bradley out. The problem is that all centers are typically underpriced on DraftKings, so he doesn’t even crack my top five in terms of the best point-per-dollar plays.

New Orleans Pelicans

The Pelicans are playing in the second half of a back-to-back, after losing to the Raptors in Toronto last night. It was originally reported that Tyreke Evans would miss tonight’s game as well, but it was later fixed to say that he was only going to be rested in the front half of the back-to-back. We can expect him to be in the rotation tonight against the Pistons. This is not a great matchup overall, as Detroit is ranked sixth in points allowed per game this season. My favorite times to target Jrue Holiday are when Evans and/or Anthony Davis are out. With both of them in the lineup, we see his usage rate go down. Holiday has been on a tear recently, but I don’t want to pay a premium for him when their team is fully healthy. Davis is really the only fantasy option on my radar from New Orleans. Despite having one of his worst shooting performances of the season, he still put up 51 fantasy points against the Raptors last night. I will note that he did bang knees with his teammate on the final play of the game. He is fully expected to play tonight, but we know his track record with injuries.

Detroit Pistons

The Pistons are one of those teams that we rarely get excited to see on the schedule. They are one of the slowest paced teams in the NBA and they generally play solid defense. They draw a favorable matchup tonight against the Pelicans though, and come into the game with a surprisingly high implied total of 109.3 points. Not only is that the seventh highest team total in the slate, but it is 8.5 points above their season average. Jrue Holiday is a solid defender, but we have seen point guards have a lot of success against the Pelicans this season. Reggie Jackson stands out as a terrific tournament play in a slate where he should be less than 10% owned. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope isn’t a bad play here, but shooting guard is loaded with value plays like Norman Powell, Rodney Hood, and Courtney Lee. Marcus Morris is a viable mid-range small forward, but he’s not the type of player that we are looking to build our lineups around. I play Jon Leuer more than most, but there are better values at power forward tonight, namely Channing Frye. Tobias Harris is in the same boat as Leuer. Andre Drummond is coming off of a massive game against the Celtics (and he hit the 20/20 mark that was predicted in the Grind Down). His ownership should be inflated in this spot and I’m not particularly interested in his matchup against Anthony Davis. I may have some GPP exposure to Drummond, but will be fading him in cash games.
