Tuesday night in the Association brings us a modest six-game slate with three games featuring a double-digit favorite (Hornets, Cavaliers, and Trail Blazers). There are also three teams playing the second game of a back-to-back which is coincidentally the three teams that are huge underdogs in those matchups (Bulls, Nets, and Kings). With so many question marks around the minutes and potential resting players in those games, it is probably not a surprise that only two of my recommendations for Tuesday come from those games.

Note that some of the stats referenced in this article are my custom DvP calculations that combine both season and last five games data along with blending similar positions production allowed together.

One Stud

Nikola Jokic (C – DEN): $10,500 vs LAC
It was a very difficult call between Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo for my “One Stud” of the night. I lean toward Jokic, who has been absolutely ballin’ over his last four games with three triple-doubles while averaging 25.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 11.8 assists per game for 61.8 DraftKings point a night. He gets a plus matchup against the Clippers who have allowed the eighth most DK points to opposing big men this season and is playing in the game with the highest Vegas total and a narrow spread.
