Point Guard
Russell Westbrook at Boston Celtics $55
Elfrid Payton vs. Detroit Pistons $23
Ish Smith at Phoenix Suns $13
Westbrook should have no trouble in Boston tonight as the Celtics as he gets up for what could be a future NBA Finals matchup, and with no game until Friday as the Thunder wrap up a quick two-game east road trip, should see full minutes in a game I expect the Celtics to keep competitive even while missing some key players. Elf is a GPP play as he has really struggled in recent games but could be in store for a big uptick in usage if Warren and Booker end up sitting tonight. Ish isn’t someone I normally target, but it’s hard to argue for a better fantasy matchup against the Suns and at near minimum price and around 30 minutes has very little threat of disappointing with some solid upside as he just posted 33 fantasy points last night.
