Guards

Kyle Lowry, TOR [@POR] (DK: $7.6k, FD: $7.5k)

This call is mostly based around his personal performances versus Portland over the past 2 seasons, where he's scored between 43-54 fantasy points in the last 3 meetings when facing off versus Damian Lillard. Otherwise, Portland's defense versus starting point guards has been fairly solid, though they haven't really faced any top point guards this season.

Jrue Holiday, NO [vs ORL] (DK: $7.1k, FD: $7.5k)

We seem to be seeing the vintage Jrue Holiday back this season, most of whom thought dead with the acquisition of Cousins. This price is getting a little high, but the matchup is excellent, the Orlando Magic are ranked 28th against opposing starting point guards, giving up 42 FPPG. They've let Kemba, and D'Angelo Russell walk all over them in the past few games. If Jrue can get his shot to fall, and toss up those assists to the big men, there is no reason he can't have a good game tonight.

T.J. McConnell, PHI [@HOU] (DK: $4.4k, FD: $4.9k)

It's a hard night to find value at the guard position, so we're looking at T.J. McConnell tonight who has averaged 30 minutes a game over the last 2. If those minutes continue, he's a very talented player as seen last season, there is no reason he couldn't have another good game. Especially in this matchup, where Houston gives up a lot of points to the bench.

Forwards

LaMarcus Aldridge, SA [@BOS] (DK: $8.5k, FD: $8.7k)

Kawahi Leonard remains out, which means Aldridge remains a low downside risk, with a decent ceiling. His price tag is right about at the max that he remains playable, since his ceiling isn't high enough for a guy at this price tag. Boston is ranked 23rd against opposing power forwards over the last 20 games, allowing 31 FPPG. Aldridge should be able to break out of his mini slump over the past 2 games to provide some value tonight.

Dion Waiters, MIA [vs MIN] (DK: $5.4k, FD: $5.8k)

We haven't yet seen the Waiters of last season show up for a game this season. He's got a tasty matchup versus the Timberwolves tonight though, who rank 28th against opposing starting shooting guards. He's been seeing 31.6 minutes a game and his coach benched him for a bit last game, calling his and others play 'a bit flat', which has to send a wakeup call to your starters. Hopefully Waiters received the wake up call he needs, to wake him from his 2017 season slumber.

Harrison Barnes, DAL [@UTA] (DK: $5.3k, FD: $6.1k)

The Jazz are currently ranked 21st versus opposing small forwards over the past 20 games. Over the past 5 games, no starting forward has walked away with less than 29 fantasy points. Barnes is seeing a ton of court time, averaging 36 minutes per game. He also saw the Jazz 4 times last year, and averaged nearly 30 fantasy points a contest.

Centers

DeAndre Jordan, LAC [vs GS] (DK: $7.3k, FD: $7.8k)

The Warriors going back to last year were pretty solid defensively versus the center position. However this year they have allowed big games to Gasol, Gortat, and Drummond. Jordan could be the next. This is a huge pace bump for the Clippers tonight, where they underdogs by 5.5 points, and will need to keep up.

Clint Capela, HOU [vs PHI] (DK: $6.7k FD: $7.5k)

Capela just dominated the 76ers on October 25th, dropping a 55 point fantasy bomb. The 76ers are ranked 22nd over the last 20 games, giving up 33 FPPG to opposing starting centers. They've given up big games to a few centers this season, including Capela, so why not toss him out there again. Nene Hilario remains questionable at this point, if he doesn't go, Capela will have a few extra minutes.

Kelly Olynyk, MIA [vs MIN] (DK: $5.5k, FD: $5.6k)

Whiteside is out again, which means Olynyk is going to see his increased role for at least one more game. The Minnesota Timberwolves have allowed nearly every starting center this season to abuse them. Olynyk and Bam Adebayo are essentially spliting minutes with the starters, Bam Adebayo could make for a nice flier as well in this matchup.
