It’s officially the week of Thanksgiving which means it’s time to acknowledge the things you’re thankful for. I’m thankful the nine-game slate and having the option of superstar players in plus matchups, specifically Kyrie Irving, Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo. I’ll be focusing on two players from each position (outside of center where I’ll choose one) to hone in on and recommend finding a way to plug them into your lineups. Russell Westbrook is still out due to personal reasons and appears to be the only superstar unavailable for lineups tonight. Anthony Davis has a tough matchup tonight against the Spurs so I’ve chosen to fade him and go with value at the power forward position.

Players listed below are ones that I highly recommend fitting into your lineups based on recent play, matchups and potential game script. There are a couple mid-level guys that could allow you to save and spend up for a couple of the available superstars to boost your lineup listed below as well. These players are ones that I’ve focused on to highlight and to consider as placing into your lineup as core pieces.
