Big Wednesday is here and there are 11 games to deal with as we cross into the second half of the week. Five teams are on the second night of a back to back and they all are on the road against teams that have at least one day of rest. Of teams playing tonight, only the Clippers play tomorrow and with them being massive underdogs tonight, that’s a situation worth monitoring. As always, be sure to monitor the news as the day unfolds as injury situations could alter this analysis quite a bit. Let’s take a look at a tournament lineup for FanDuel.

Point Guard
Kemba Walker (CHA): $8,400 vs. DAL
The Mavericks could be in trouble tonight as they are faced with crossing a time zone all the way to Charlotte that causes them to lose an hour after playing at home last night. I think this will lead to some tired legs and I love taking advantage of that with Walker, who already draws a plus matchup. Walker is not someone that you’d typically rely on in cash games, but he has excellent upside for tournament play on any given night.
Shabazz Napier (POR): $4,200 @ HOU
I’d expect Damian Lillard to remain out tonight, which should lead to another start for Napier. There’s some concern over dealing with Chris Paul, especially after playing last night, but the price is too good to pass up. Be sure nothing changes with Lillard’s status later today, but if he remains out, fire up Napier as a great source of salary relief.
