Wednesday greets us with an eight-game schedule as we grind our way through the final weeks of the regular season. The playoff race (more so in the Western Conference) is still wide open and that’s something you’ll need to be cognizant of when constructing your rosters. A more important item to point out is the risk of rest. Things always change throughout the day in the NBA in terms of injury or rest news, but that is amplified many times as we get this close to the end of the season. Be sure to check the news as the day unfolds as these suggestions could be altered significantly.
Looking at the rest situation it looks as though most of the road teams could be a bit weary. The Cavaliers, Trail Blazers, and Clippers are both playing their third game in four nights, which includes playing last night. The Mavericks played last night, but they are not on their third outing in four nights. The Knicks and Celtics are also playing their third game in four nights, but they did have yesterday off. Let’s take a look at a tournament lineup for FanDuel.

Point Guard
Kemba Walker (CHA): $8,600 vs. CLE
The Hornets are clinging to faint playoff hopes and they will host the Cavaliers in a big game for both squads. Walker has been scoring in bunches lately and he will no doubt be ready to roll for this one. This is a plus individual matchup and in a game with a bloated 227 point total and a one-point spread, he could be looking at a monster outing.
