We have an 11 game slate to kick off our NBA week, which means the slate is filled with stars and value. There are a few games with high Vegas totals, so you should look there for some offense. There are plenty of options whether you are looking at cash games or GPPs tonight. Good Luck!

Mario Chalmers (MEM): $4,700 vs. POR

With Mike Conley being ruled out indefinitely due to an Achilles injury, Chalmers has been seeing the starting lineup, and he brings a nice bit of salary relief to the table. Chalmers has a 20.9% usage rate when Conley is off the court and is averaging 0.85 fantasy points per minute. His price has risen a bit over the past few days now that he is seeing more minutes, but a starting player for under $5K is a good deal. He only needs 23.7 DraftKings points in order to hi 5x value, which he has reached in two of his last three games. He should be one of your building blocks today since it’s a big slate, and we need to find all the value we can. He does have a bit of a tougher matchup against Portland, but we know his minutes will be there, and he can chip in with the peripheral stats to help hit value.
