Point Guard
Damian Lillard vs. Sacramento Kings $41
Jamal Murray vs. L.A. Clippers $22
D’Angelo Russell at Cleveland Cavaliers $18
Lillard is a few dollars more than I would like to spend, but I can overlook that against the Kings who are the third best DvP matchup for PG’s over the past four weeks, are on a back to back, and have one of the worst defenders in the league in Fox trying to slow down Lillard. Murray isn’t going to be stopped by Teodosic/Williams/Rivers in any form tonight with Rivers and Williams being near league worst defenders at their position, and is at home in a high scoring game and has played at least 34 minutes in four straight games. Russell is on a back to back for the Nets, which brings a small amount of risk via minutes, but has no doubt 30+ fantasy point upside if he sees the court for 28-30 minutes
