Yahoo NBA DFS Tournament Targets: Wednesday, January 22nd
This article is my attempt to outline some of what I think will be chalk and my favorite tournament targets to consider for each slate. The article will start off pretty basic and light on analysis, as we don’t have much data to go off of, but will evolve as the season does. Feel free to comment, message me, and of course jump into contests with me on Yahoo.
Tonight we have a monster 12-game slate with one team (Clippers) on the second half of a back-to-back. Below is a look at some of the players I’m considering as of this early afternoon.
Point Guard
PG: Lou Williams, LA Clippers, $27
The Clippers should be without both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in addition to losing Pat Beverley for the second half of last night’s game. I’m not expecting Beverley to play, but either way I’m extremely confident that Lou will be a usage monster in this game. Kawhi commands 34.8% usage and George is at 31.2%. There are only two players left on the Clippers who see significant minutes and command north of 18% usage and they are Lou (27.8%) and Montrezl Harrell at 25.6%. If we run CourtIQ we can see that with Kawhi and PG13 off the floor, Lou has seen 34.5% usage. This game should also play extremely fast and the Hawks rank as a top 10 matchup for opposing point guards and the second best matchup for opposing shooting guards. He’s an easy play.
