Thursday, November 2nd
Tonight, we have a tiny two game slate and even though I’m not a fan of such small slates, I’m sure you will be playing it anyways. Let’s have a look at my favorite play for each position on the slate.
Point Guard
PG: Damian Lillard, Portland Trailblazers, $44
We have two games to choose from and really the options come down to Dame vs. Steph. I’m siding with Lillard and the cupcake home matchup against the Lakers. The Blazers only have a three point lower team total in comparison to the Warriors and Lillard has been finding his stroke of late. The Lakers currently rank 22nd in DVP vs. the point guard position and have already given up big games to Kyle Lowry, Eric Bledsoe, Reggie Jackson, and Ricky Rubio. Lillard is certainly the best point guard Lonzo and the Lakers will have faced this year and I think we could see another ceiling game for Dame, even after his 61 fantasy point explosion against the Jazz last night.
