Tonight’s slate features ten games over on FanDuel. With Lebron James and James Harden set to square off for the first time as Western Conference rivals, there should be a lot of attention and ownership directed towards that game. While it certainly is an attractive option, there are great plays across the board so over-exposing rosters to the Rockets and Lakers game is a risky proposition.
Here are a few plays at each position that I will be targeting on tonight’s slate, along with a sample roster build.
Note: This may be obvious, but all fantasy point totals referenced below are from the Fanduel scoring system.

Jamal Murray (DEN): $6,000 vs. PHX
Opening night was a disappoint for Murray, who only put up 30.2 fantasy points against the Clippers on Wednesday. This could lead to a quick pass for game log watchers who don’t have much sample data. However, what’s important to note is that Murray is playing against a Suns team that has been historically bad defensively over the past few seasons. While a coaching change should help them this year, I’m still confident that Murray should bounce back tonight and improve on his 3-12 shooting performance from game one.
