Monday night in the NBA brings us a solid nine-game slate. It could be a high-scoring night with four games coming in with a Vegas total over 220 points while all four have a line of seven points or fewer. There are some solid value options on the slate which should open up roster construction to fit in a high-priced stud and a few good mid-range values as well.
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.

Anthony Davis (PF/C – NO): $11,600 vs. SA
Davis appears to be on one of his roles where he just destroys whoever he faces. He has had back-to-back games with 40 points and has exceeded 58 DraftKings points in six straight outings. Davis will face a Spurs team that has been a neutral matchup for opposing big men this season but I’m not sure it matters who Davis faces right now. If you don’t want to pay the price for Davis then give Nikola Jokic strong consideration at over $2,000 less in a game against the Bucks.
