Thursday, December 28th
Tonight, we have a five-game slate to choose from with three teams (Celtics, Timberwolves, Knicks) on the second half of a back-to-back. Let’s have a look at some of my favorite plays for the slate.
Point Guard
PG: Ish Smith, Detroit Pistons, $10 – We have two obvious value plays to plug in our lineups due to injuries and prices for this evening, Ish Smith and Tyus Jones. Ish gets to take over the Pistons backcourt with the loss of Reggie Jackson and we all know this guy can produce when given minutes. He should get 30 plus minutes in a sweet matchup against the Magic, who rank 6th in pace and 30th (dead last) in DVP vs. the point guard position. There’s really not a ton more to write besides plug him in.
