Guards
E’Twaun Moore CHI vs. ATL $4,200
Moore is still favorably priced and with Jimmy Butler out for a few weeks, he should continue to log plenty of minutes. While he’s been an inconsistent producer, I don’t mind taking a chance at this price, as it could rise with a few more positive games.
Mike Conley MEM @ BRK $4,900
Several Memphis players see a bump in usage with Marc Gasol out, but Conley is a fine play here given his modest salary. The Nets struggle to defend opposing point guards and I expect a full workload from Conley tonight, which should allow him to easily hit value.
Jeff Teague ATL @ CHI $4,950
Teague has seen his minutes bump back up and his production has followed. He draws a good matchup tonight against the Bulls, who do not defend the point guard position well. Look for Teague’s recent production (32 fantasy points per game over the last five contests) to continue tonight.
Forwards
Markieff Morris PHO vs. GS $4,750
Morris’ price has risen on other sites, but it remains too low given his rebirth under a new coaching regime. This is not a desirable matchup, but he should continue to be the focal point of the Suns’ offense and his value threshold is very reachable in what should be a high-scoring game.
Zach Randolph MEM @ BRK $5,000
Marc Gasol is expected to miss a considerable amount of time, and that opens the door for Randolph to be a prime fantasy asset. Per NBAWowy, when Gasol is off of the floor and Memphis has a lineup of Mike Conley and Randolph on the court, Randolph slides to center and his usage rate is 28.8%. The Grizzlies tend to employ a lot of smaller lineups with Gasol out and this helps to solidify Randolph’s minutes as the de facto center. The Nets are the third-worst team in overall defensive efficiency and they are near the bottom in defending opposing centers. Look for a big night from Randolph tonight.
Stanley Johnson DET vs. DEN $4,500
Due to the absence of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Johnson is receiving a bunch of playing time and he’s been fairly productive in two out of the last three games. The matchup is a good one and with his asking price not yet corrected for the bump in playing time, seven times his current salary isn’t out of the question.
Center
DeMarcus Cousins SAC @ PHI $7,550
This will be a good opportunity to see where Cousins’ head is at right now. Less than 24 hours ago, it seemed all but certain that the Kings would be firing George Karl. Things changed (for now) overnight as it sounds like Karl may get another free pass. Either way, it’s tough to ignore the phenomenal matchup as the Sixers have been horrific against opposing centers. Short of his ineffective performance against the Cavaliers, Cousins has been extremely consistent as of late. He’s the most expensive player on the board tonight, but the upside is worth every dollar.
Utility
Archie Goodwin PHO vs. GS $4,650
This is one spot where Goodwin’s price has remained too low given his heavy playing time in place of Brandon Knight. The Warriors are a tough defensive squad, but with a projected total of 220 points, there should be all sorts of opportunities for Goodwin to produce.
Jamal Crawford LAC @ BOS $4,450
Crawford has helped to shoulder the offensive load with Blake Griffin out and he should continue that tonight. This is a slight boost in terms of pace for the Clippers and despite a tough matchup, the volume should trump any concerns about matchup risk.
