We have a smaller five-game slate this Saturday, but the matchups are there for it to be a very high scoring slate. We have two matchups that have a Vegas total over 235 points with one being over 240 points, while the rest of the slate are all projected above 220 points. My projections will be leaning towards the higher scoring games, but you can make an argument for any of the teams tonight.

Bradley Beal (SG – WAS): $9,700 @ MIN
Beal managed to put up 41.5 fantasy points last night as he struggled to find his shot going 4-of-21 from the floor. I am expecting a bounce-back performance from Beal tonight against Minnesota as he is playing in the game with the highest Vegas total of 243.5 points. You will be paying up for Beal as he is the most expensive SG on the slate, but it will be worth it as he is averaging 1.3 fantasy point per minute over his last five games for the Wizards and that trend should continue tonight.

Karl-Anthony Towns (C – MIN): $10,400 vs. WAS
On the other side of the best matchup of the night, we have All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns. He is coming off a poor performance against the Pistons and has an opportunity to thrive against a smaller Wizards frontcourt. In his last matchup against the Wizards, he put up 28 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists good for 55.5 fantasy points.
