Happy Saturday! We have some crazy pace-up matchups and defensively inept teams playing against each other, so there could be some fireworks even with only a five-game slate. The Knicks-Hornets game is not on the main slate, but there are some fun ones that kick off at 7 PM EST.
Remember to watch the injury reports as they come in, as Saturday practice reports aren’t generally reliable.

Luka Doncic (PG – DAL): $12,200 DK, $11,900 FD
Doncic is $1,200 more than the next highest-priced stud which makes him a tough sell, but given the matchup and role he’s worth the extra funds. Milwaukee is an offensive force, but they’ve cratered defensively since their recent string of trades. They’re currently 22nd in overall defensive efficiency and 27th in half-court defense, and this is also a massive pace-up game (Milwaukee is ninth and Dallas is fourth). Luka’s rates have been a bit down this year, but his ceiling is unmatched even by the other studs (barring a random sitting teammate)
