Coming off a nice Thanksgiving break, tonight’s slate features a whopping 12-games on the schedule, with another tipping off at noon (not included in the main slate). With so many teams playing, you should be able to construct many suitable lineups that stand out compared to the chalkier options. Tip-off locks at 7 p.m. EST.

Point Guard
Ben Simmons (PG – PHI): $8,900 @ NY
Simmons hasn’t played very well recently, but he’s an interesting target for two reasons: the first being the New York Knicks’ weak defense in which they rank 22nd in defensive rating, and PF Al Horford is scheduled to miss the contest due to rest. The lack of Horford will allow Simmons to not only handle the ball more often but to contribute more offensively and specifically have a shot to accrue more defensive statistics (rebounds).
Kendrick Nunn (PG – MIA): $5,600 vs. GS
The Golden State Warriors are ranked 28th in defensive rating and 13th in pace. The Miami Heat also rank a league-average 16th in pace, making this an intriguing contest to target as both teams should have opportunities to score. Anytime you target the Warriors or their opponents, you run the risk of a potential blowout, so that is something to keep in mind. Still, Nunn is a solid player who excels as a scorer but has struggled recently. He’s due for a big game sometime soon, and there aren’t many better opportunities than the Warriors.
