Wednesday, December 6th
Point Guard
Elfrid Payton vs Atlanta Hawks: $27
Jamal Murray at New Orleans Pelicans: $17
De’Aaron Fox at Cleveland Cavaliers: $14
The point is one of the fun positions tonight because of how many plays I love that aren’t normal plays to target. Elf has always been the perfect tourney play because of how much he does on the floor in limited time and when he gets it going he can go off like few others can in the lower range. Tonight, he gets the best possible matchup going against a guy like Schroder, who can’t defend anyone. Elf isn’t much of a cash play, but he is one of the best tourney plays on the board and a terrific way to go. Murray is going to be a key for the Nugs with Joker out and even though they struggled the other night Murray still looked comfortable with his shot and I see a monster game coming tonight. He is easily my favorite play of the night at the point. Fox is one of those plays that is just way too cheap and an easy play in all formats. He is a super talented guy just finding his way in the league, but no way should he ever be this cheap against a team like the Cavs, who will give up plenty of easy buckets with no rim protection. Point guard is loaded tonight, but these guys are my favorites.
