POINT GUARD
Norris Cole (Opponent – LAL, $5,800) (Proj. Pts – 39.70)
The Pelicans will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak after falling to the Spurs 110-97 last night. The Los Angeles Lakers have an edge with Bryant at the wing but New Orleans is better in every other area. I expect Cole to have a big game in a convincing win.
SHOOTING GUARD
James Harden (Opponent – PHO, $10,800) (Proj. Pts – 56.32)
He is a pretty obvious play for our lineup tonight. The Suns are under a new coach and looked pretty good in their last outing against a red-hot Raptors team, so I’m thinking this game could be a lot closer than it should be. That will keep Harden on the court since the Rockets are shorthanded right now with Terrence Jones’s car accident and Clint Capela’s hip injury.
SMALL FORWARD
P.J Tucker (Opponent – HOU, $5,400) (Proj. Pts – 28.74)
Now that T.J. Warren is done for the year, P.J. Tucker will continue to start and log the lions share of mintues at SF for the Suns on a small slate makes him a cash games option. Tucker continues to fill out his stat sheet, notching multiple rebounds and assists in each of his last three games. He’s also landed 6-of-12 attempted three’s over his last three games.
POWER FORWARD
Markieff Morris (Opponent – HOU, $5,700) (Proj. Pts – 35.33)
Morris had a monster game of 30 points, 11 rebounds and six assists against the Raptors. With the Suns moving on from coach Jeff Hornacek and promoting Earl Watson as the interim coach, Morris may very well continue to start. Watson said Morris will be the main focus of the offense, and the Suns could certainly use his scoring punch if they hope to be competitive on a nightly basis. He’s a must play.
CENTER
Andre Drummond (Opponent – NY, $8,600) (Proj. Pts – 45.21)
The Knicks play at a painfully slow pace but are dead last defending centers. Drummond has an extremely high floor to go with the high price point. Drummond + good matchup + home game = MONEY!
GUARD
Terrence Ross (Opponent – POR, $4,200) (Proj. Pts – 28.93)
Ross has knocked down at least one three-pointer in nine straight games and is averaging 12.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.3 three-pointers, 1.0 steals and 0.9 assists over 26.2 minutes during that span. He’s also in play at DraftKings with James Johnson (ankle) sidelined.
FORWARD
Ersan Ilyasova (Opponent – NY, $5,500) (Proj. Pts – 32.21)
Detroit is 15-8 at home and at times have looked dominant like when they beat Golden State convincingly in their building. This game will likely be close, but the Pistons should have the edge at home. I expect Ilyasova to have a big game.
UTILITY
Corey Brewer (Opponent – PHO, $4,000) (Proj. Pts – 27.47)
Brewer has now started in five consecutive games, with averages of 9.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 27 minutes per contest. His minutes have been consistent. He can be boom-or-bust, but at these prices he’s an attractive punt play without too much risk and a ton of upside.
