Monday night delivers a nine-game slate in the Association. Now that players have started to settle into the rotation for their new clubs following the trade deadline, things have returned to be at least a little more predictable. Beware of the double-digit favorites on Monday’s slate with four games featuring blowout potential including the Raptors, Rockets, Bucks, and Nuggets. As such, I’m more interested in attacking some of the other games on the slate.
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.

Paul George (SF/PF – OKC): $10,300 vs. POR
On a slate with James Harden, Russell Westbrook, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, it feels strange to bypass all of them but that is what I purpose you do on Monday night. Instead, I’d recommend trying to get two players from the next tier, headlined by Paul George. George has been putting up massive production and is coming off a game with 45 points and 11 rebounds. He has lit up the Trail Blazers in two previous meeting this season with 36.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, he gets a great game environment in a matchup that is projected to be fairly close with the highest Vegas total on the slate.
