Let's talk about last night...

✅ Embiid ✅ Gasol ✅ Simmons ✅ Dedmon. All featured in this very newsletter 🤑Seeing a lot of new LineStarMVP's who won over $100+. Let's get you on that list! Tonight's a small slate so, going to be a much different play then last night, make sure to adjust accordingly.

Guards

Stephen Curry, GS [@BOS] (DK: $8.7k, FD: $9.7k)

Beware the injured player, they often go under-owned and often exceed expectations when the pressure is off. Three of the last Five point guards to play against Boston have exceeded their season averages. Boston is allowing 33 fantasy points per game to opposing point guards over the last 20 games.

Devin Booker, PHO [vs HOU] (DK: $7.5k, FD: $7.6k)

Booker has pretty much been playing the same number of minutes regardless of game blowout status, and in fact has been playing better when they've been underdogs. The Rockets are ranked 17th versus starting shooting guards, giving up 28 fantasy points a game. In 4 games last year versus the Rockets, if he saw 35 or more minutes, he was able to eclipse the 45 fantasy point mark. As long as they don't get blown out super early, he should be a big part of this game.

Forwards

Ryan Anderson, HOU [@PHO] (DK: $4.5k, FD: $4.6k)

It's well known, for whatever reason, Ryan Anderson just plays better ball on the road. He's on the road in Phoenix tonight, and ready to continue his home/away splits anomaly. The Suns have played well against starting power forwards, but have given up big games to 3 of the last 5 they've faced.

Josh Jackson, PHO [vs HOU] (DK: $3.6k, FD: $3.3k)

Vegas has this game with the Houston Rockets being favored by 11.5 points over the Suns, which sounds about right to me. If that's what ends up happening, Josh Jackson has been seeing 20+ minutes in blowout losses, and could put up around 20 fantasy points tonight, for a near minimum salary option. The Rockets are also ranked 29th against opposing bench players over the last 20 games, so reserves can definitely score on the Rockets.

Centers

Clint Capela, HOU [@PHO] (DK: $7.2k, FD: $7.4k)

The center position is a bit of a wasteland today in a 2 game slate and even more so on FanDuel where the options are even more limited. You can choose to pay up for someone like Capela or Horford who should be safer, however with blowout risk in both games, no one is truly safe tonight. Capela has the better matchup versus the Suns who have allowed good games to the last 4 centers they've faced. Nene Hilario is likely doubtful to play again, leaving Capela and Tarik Black to cover the minutes at center. Tarik Black could be a good pivot, if you're playing into the blowout game scenario.

Alex Len, PHO [vs HOU] (DK: $4.4k, FD: $4.8k)

Backup centers have been torching the Rockets, so in a blowout situation Alex Len could be looking to play extended minutes tonight. Tyson Chandler is questionable with an illness but should play the starting role. Something else to keep in mind, is that Greg Monroe could possibly suit up tonight, which would kill this Alex Len play so watch for news regarding him.
