Tuesday, April 3rd
Point Guard
Ben Simmons vs Brooklyn Nets: $41
Isaiah Taylor at Miami Heat: $14
Shelvin Mack at New York Knicks: $10
A lot of people will be jamming in Russ and Durant tonight with that being the featured game of this huge slate of action however I would rather go down to Simmons. Simmons has been quietly having one of the best seasons for a guy this young in a long time. Even though he is older than LeBron was in his first year by almost a full two years he has been crazy good all year long and peaking down the stretch here. He is averaging a triple double or close to it the last month or so and now with a few guys like Embiid and other key guys out he is going to be asked to do even more, which is going to be fun. He is too cheap and playing a team that doesn’t even try on defense. He is going to crush tonight and should actually be low owned because of how huge the slate is, so I will take my chances. Taylor and Mack are both solid cheap options, but on a full slate like this there is going to be unlimited value options by the time we get close to lock, so neither is a must. It is tough to go the value route tonight with guys like Russ and Simmons at the top. I should also add I don’t hate the idea of using Russ, but I would rather go with the lower owned Simmons.
