Guards

D'Angelo Russell, BKN [vs PHO] (DK: $7.3k, FD: $7k)

The Nets have claimed that Russell's knee is 100%, but then slowly worked him back in. It's been 2 games now, and the minutes have gone up in each, so I would expect him to be back to around the minutes he was playing prior to the injury. This game is the highest scoring of the slate by 19 points, so you're definitely going to need some exposure. So why not grab the guy who is playing against the Suns who are ranked dead last against opposing point guard starters over 20 games, allowing 35 FPPG.

Victor Oladipo, IND [vs SAC] (DK: $7.7k, FD: $7.9k)

The options are slim on a 4 game slate to find guys who are mid salary range, and have a high ceiling. Oladipo is one of those guys. The Pacers have been struggling with injuries, Myles Turner has been out for every game but their first. They could be without Sabonis tonight as well. Oladipo has stepped up to the plate in Turner's absence, expect more of the same tonight at home.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, LAL [vs DET] (DK: $4.8k, FD: $5k)

He's coming off of 2 difficult matchups where he struggled. His salary has dipped a bit, but his minutes on the court have remained the same. Expect him to bounce back tonight with a more favorable matchup against the Pistons who are ranked 19th against opposing starting shooting guards, allowing 30 FPPG.

Forwards

Tobias Harris, DET [@LAL] (DK: $6.7k, FD: $6.4k)

Talk about a case of multiple personalities. He's got 3 games with 40 or more fantasy points, and 4 games with 24 or fewer fantasy points. The high ceiling is obviously in play, and it's a great matchup. In a small slate, you have to take some chances, and Harris with a decent chance at a 40 point fantasy night, is a good bet.

T.J. Warren, PHO [@BKN] (DK: $5.2k, FD: $5.1k)

This is another piece of the puzzle in the highest scoring game of the night. Warren has been a little maddening this season, with 2 huge games, and 3 poor games. The matchup is right, in a high pace game, going against a defense that is ranked 21st against small forwards allowing 30 FPPG.

Bogdan Bogdanovic, SAC [@IND] (DK: $4.3k, FD: $4.5k)

We'll see if he gets another start, but he's in a good situation regardless. The Kings are dealing with some injuries, and Zach Randolph may not play tonight. The Pacers are 29th against opposing small forwards, allowing 38 FPPG. It'll be the battle of the unrelated Bogdanovic non-brothers tonight.

Centers

Andre Drummond, DET [@LAL] (DK: $8.2k, FD: $9.2k)

The Lakers are ranked 26th against opposing starting centers over the last 20 games, allowing 34 FPPG, and even more when at home, and when they are underdogs. Drummond has been playing outstanding ball this season, and looks to be one of the safest picks tonight.

Steven Adams, OKC [@MIL] (DK: $5.8k, FD: $6.6k)

It's not an ideal matchup, but the Bucks are a little thin at Center tonight without Monroe so that should help Adams a bit. He's been averaging more than 30 minutes a game, and has not disappointed this season, except for 1 difficult matchup against Utah. At this price, it's hard to pass on Adams in a small slate.

John Henson, MIL [vs OKC] (DK: $4.1k, FD: $4.8k)

With Greg Monroe sidelined for the next 2 weeks, expect Henson to pickup some extra minutes. He was averaging around 16 minutes a night, last game without Monroe he saw 28 minutes in the backup role. Expect more of the same, somewhere between 23 and 28 minutes a game where Henson has proven he can put up fantasy points given the minutes on the court.
