Well…. thinking about a couple of pieces
Looks like no ownership and close game with two bad defenses

Wantanabe or Davis? Both min price on FD

I’ll predict the cash line in the DK shootaround at 307

My brain hurts trying to dissect this slate.

Well I hope Houston plays with a chip on their shoulder and makes this a game. I will have some stacks.

The only thing that scares me about Harden and I mean the only think is Steve Nash doesn’t have that kick a dog while it is down style. Mike D’Antoni is also returning to Houston tonight, he and Harden are close. If MDA was coaching this game I would expect a 50 point triple double from Harden but Nash has shown that he lets up in similar circumstances this season.

Sabonis IN

That’s why I like it. You want to win a tournament. That’s what it takes. Identify a close game that’s underowned in a cespool of value.

Man this game has me so twisted and going against what I said in terms of fading all Houston games and Wall. They have 8 guys so blowout only hurts Wall and Dipo so it is hard to ignore the math here when you have 8 guys here and only 2 priced up. On top of that both of these dudes want to show out and do not like each other at all. I did have a disclaimer with Wall that play him against the Wiz and he will go off (this is kind of similar), and here if this game stays close Wall and Harden have to smash. Awesome matchup all around for everyone, man this is difficult. I mean how many times have we seen this and we said “no way they keep it close” and the reverse blowout has happened, I remember it twice this year with these short handed teams smashing as super underdogs. Just when I thought I was done with Houston and Wall….

Terence Davis has the ability to erupt. It has been awhile but he has 40+ fantasy points in him. Yuta does not have that ceiling.

Looks like Boucher coming off the bench… I think that helps his usage.

I think this is the most difficult slate I can remember, I am just taking stands and rolling with it.

Yes this is great for our boy Boucher! Let’s GOOOOOOOOO

Melo going to keep it rolling tonight?

Have we seen 550 yet? Because it’s happening tonight.

I made a lu this morning and I’m sticking with it. Not doing all the flip flopping g I always do

This slate is insanely hard….

So many PG’s, so many C’s that I want

I think I have to just take a stand and roll out Schroder/Brunson in most lineups and pay up for Embiid or Vuc in most lineups.

We’ll see what happens…

I think Patton is the Houston lock

I like him the most, Brown next, and then Tate.

Does anyone like Plumlee with Grant out? Him or Boucher?

He was 1% and 2% the previous two slates. Curious to see if optimizers have locked onto him yet. If he’s 15%+ we will know.

glad i switched out Sekou for Davis

Gl all

I’m paying up for sabonis. I don’t see Dean Wade being able to match up with him.

Holy 💩💩💩 this slate was one to remember, TERRENCE DAVIS IS MY PLAY OF THE DAY😁

Gotta avoid the landmines today, gl everyone!
