Meanwhile, give NHL a look, data is really starting to tick-on over there.

Guards

Damian Lillard, POR [vs LAL] (DK: $9.3k, FD: $9.8k)

The Lakers have been giving up boat loads of fantasy points to opposing starting point guards with Lonzo Ball on the other side this season. They are currently ranked 28th in the last 20 games against opposing starting point guards, giving up 46 FPPG. Lillard is coming off a 43 minute effort last night, but last season they did not baby him in back to backs, so this shouldn't be an issue.

Danny Green, SA [vs GS] (DK: $5k, FD: $5k)

There's not many guys in this 2 game slate that can provide 30 point upside for a 5k price. Green is one of them, but is coming off of a huge dud against Boston, which could lower his ownership. He gets a much better matchup tonight against Golden State who have allowed 30 FPPG to opposing shooting guards over the last 20 games.

Forwards

Kevin Durant, GS [@SA] (DK: $9.7k, FD: $9.9k)

In 5 games versus the Spurs last season, Durant had 4 games with 52-57 fantasy points, and one dud where he had 25 FP, which was a blowout the entire game. Durant should be the safest lock to put up over 50 fantasy points tonight, and in a 2 game slate that means he's a must play. The Spurs are ranked 25th against opposing starting small forwards over the past 20 games allowing 32 FPPG.

Larry Nance Jr, LAL [@POR] (DK: $5.2k FD: $5.2k)

When he's gotten 20+ minutes in a game, he hasn't disappointed yet this season. Portland's Al-Farouq Aminu is not expected to suit up today, which should make things a bit easier down low for Nance. At this salary range, Nance provides a very high ceiling, as long as the coach is willing to give him the minutes on the court tonight.

Centers

Jusuf Nurkic, POR [vs LAL] (DK: $5.9k, FD: $7.4k)

Nurkic has been pretty inconsistent this season, but his high ceiling makes him impossible to disregard. His price tag on DraftKings makes him virtually a must play in this small slate. The Lakers are ranked 27th against opposing starting centers, allowing 34 FPPG. Like Lillard, he was not limited in back to backs last year, so we would not expect that to slow him down tonight.

Pau Gasol, SAS [vs GS] (DK: $5.4k, FD: $6.1k)

Gasol has been playing extremely well over the last 4 games, seeing between 19 and 26 minutes and averaging 32 fantasy points. He's been the 3rd most efficient player on this slate over the last 5 games, sitting at 1.24 Fantasy points per minute. As long as he sees 20+ minutes in this game, it's going to be hard to disappoint against the Warriors, as centers have been their weakness this season.

The Spaniard has a primo matchup tonight, take note.
