We start off the work week with a nine-game NBA slate on Monday. The slate includes a nice mix of games that should be close, games that should be high-scoring and a couple of games that should be both. Also, as always, watch for late-breaking news leading up to tipoff including the status of Steph Curry, which could open up some different players and usage for the Warriors.

Point Guard

Lonzo Ball (LAL): $7,600 @ PHO
Ball put it all together on Saturday against the Bucks, becoming the youngest player to put up a triple-double with 19 points (shooting over 50%), 13 assists and 12 rebounds. He will have an opportunity to post a similar stat line on Monday against the Suns who have allowed the fifth most FanDuel points to opposing PGs this season.

Mike James (PHO): $5,300 vs LAL
The Suns point guard situation is another one to watch on Monday, as Tyler Ulis drew the start in the previous game and played more minutes than James. If Ulis draws the start again, look to pivot to him at $4,000 and open up more salary for another position. Whichever Suns’ PG draws the start is a strong option against a Lakers’ team that has allowed the second most FD points to opposing PGs this season.
