Do the Tyreke.

Guards

Tyreke Evans, MEM [vs NO] (DK: $8.3k, FD: $8.3k)

Tyreke has been one of the most consistent players over the last month of the season, and in order to play him you'll have to pay for it. He's averaging 33 minutes and 40 fantasy points per game over the last 20 games played. Facing the Pelicans and could matchup versus Rondo who has one of the worst defensive ratings in the NBA. The Pelicans rank 26th against starting point guards allowing 36 fantasy points a game. Vegas has this as an extremely close game with the Pelicans only being favored by 1 point and a 211 point total.

Shabazz Napier, POR [@HOU] (DK: $6.2k, FD: $4.2k)

Napier is grossly underpriced on FanDuel if Damian Lillard is out again, who is currently listed as questionable. Napier is averaging 1 fantasy point per minute while he's been starting and seeing around 35 minutes per game. Which makes things simple, as long as Lillard is out just keep on rostering Napier. If he starts, he gets a much easier matchup than last night as the Rockets are ranked 27th against starting point guards allowing 36 fantasy points a game.

Ish Smith, DET [@BKN] (DK: $5.7k, FD: $6.6k)

He's been finding his place in this offense as a starter over the last 6 games and is looking more comfortable. What really helps Ish is having a healthy Drummond on the court which he should tonight. The Nets are 19th against starting point guards but significantly worse when they play at home. The Nets are also going to be shorthanded with DeMarre Carroll and Allen Crabbe likely out.

Important Note: Leaving off Rondo + Holiday as they're all obviously in play with Anthony Davis out. Strong considerations for both of them!

Forwards

Domantas Sabonis, IND [vs MIA] (DK: $6.4k, FD: $5.9k)

Myles Turner is doubtful to play today which will slide Sabonis into the starting lineup. He averaged 34 fantasy points over the last 7 games Myles Turner was out with a range between 15 and 46. He's had some foul troubles so he's not without risk tonight, so Al Jefferson is worth a look as well and cheaper. It's not a great matchup against Miami who are 5th against starting centers, but Sabonis averages over a fantasy point a minute so he's hard to pass on tonight.

Michael Beasley, NY [vs CHI] (DK: $5.7k, FD: $6.3k)

Beasley remains questionable to play tonight but if he suits up it's hard to resist the urge to play him at this salary. He's averaged close to 40 fantasy points over the last 5 games with a ceiling in the high 40s. Playing against the Bulls who bleed points to players off the bench. If you're going to play him tonight just keep a close eye on the news to make sure he plays and is not limited.

Al-Farouq Aminu, POR [@HOU] (DK: $4.5k, FD: $5.3k)

Aminu's ceiling is somewhere in the mid 30s which isn't bad for a guy at this salary range. He gets a plus matchup versus the Rockets who rank 21st against starting power forwards. He also has a good history against them averaging 30 fantasy points a game over the last 2 games.

Centers

Cousins ain't messing around tonight. He's your safe bet at center tonight!

DeMarcus Cousins, NO [@MEM] (DK: $11k, FD: $11.6k)

He's the safest center option by far tonight with Anthony Davis doubtful to suit up. His ceiling is substaintially higher when Davis is not on the court. The scary part is that memphis is ranked 1st against starting centers only allowing 24 fantasy points a game and they're even better at home. Matchups are generally meaningless when it comes to top studs like Cousins so for the most part it's worth ignoring. If it were any other team he would be a complete lock tonight.

Nikola Jokic, DEN [vs ATL] (DK: $8.6k, FD: $9.4k)

On paper this looks like a fantastic matchup as Atlanta is ranked 29th against starting centers allowing 35 fantasy points per game. Jokic scored 45 fantasy points in their earlier meeting this year in Atlanta as well. Jokic has also been playing better ball with the home court altitude advantage. However the concerns here are that it's a 9.5 point spread and this game could be a blowout and also Jokic almost never follows up a big game with another good game.

Steven Adams, OKC [@MIN] (DK: $6.5k, FD: $6.3k)

Adams has played well versus the Timberwolves in 3 games this season averaging 37 fantasy points per game. Adams is much more of a cash play as he doesn't have a high ceiling but has been very consistent in these types of matchups. Minnesota is ranked 17th against starting centers allowing 31 fantasy points a game. This is another close game with the Timberwolves being favored by 4.5 points with a 211.5 point total.
