Two more cancellations tonight with the Wizards @ Detroit and Warriors @ Suns off the slate due to positive tests. It's still a nice 8-game card, headlined by Doncic and the Mavs visiting Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee as well as the return of Billy Donovan to Oklahoma City.

Let's close out this week on a roll....

Today's NBA Matchups

Magic @ Celtics (OFF) , O/U OFF, 7:30 PM ET

The Celtics return to the court tonight, not having played since last Friday's win over Washington. Both teams are still very shorthanded though.

Knicks (-2.5) @ Cavs , O/U OFF 7:30 PM ET

It's (likely) the Cleveland debuts of Taurean Prince and Jarrett Allen tonight in a matchup of teams that have combined to lose their last 7 games.

Notable Injuries: Andre Drummond is expected to return from an Achilles injury, but Collin Sexton (ankle) is still out.

Mavericks @ Bucks (-6) , O/U 228 7:30 PM ET

Dallas is on a four game win streak thanks to the ramping up of their defense, holding three opponents to 100 or less over that span. That will be put to the test against the Bucks' #1 offense.

Notable Injuries: Jrue Holiday is expected to play through an ankle sprain.

Grizzlies @ Timberwolves (-2.5), O/U 224 8:00 PM ET

This is a rematch of Wednesday's game that Memphis won 118-107. Minnesota had three players score 25+ real points in that meeting, however.

Notable Injuries: Ricky Rubio and Juancho Hernangomez are in the health and safety protocol. Ja Morant is questionable and has a chance to play.

Bulls @ Thunder, O/U OFF 8:00 PM ET

OKC's Mark Daigneault spent 4 years and Florida and one year in the pros under Billy Donovan. It's hard to know who gets the edge there, but Chicago's defense has allowed 125 ppg over their last three.

Notable Injuries: Otto Porter, Jr. (back) and Darius Bazley (knee) are iffy for this game.

Hawks @ Jazz (-6), O/U 225.5 9:00PM ET

The Hawks broke a 4-game losing streak on Monday, but needed a meeting with the depleted Sixers to do it. The Jazz have their first home game since January 1st tonight.

Notable Injuries: Clint Capela is bothered by a hand injury, Derrick Favors is probable with a knee injury, and Joe Ingles (Achilles) is out.

Pelicans @ Lakers, O/U OFF 10:00PM ET

The Lakers are just 3-3 at home this season, which bodes well for the Pelicans. New Orleans lost by 5 vs. the Clippers on Wednesday but were missing Zion Williamson, Eric Bledsoe, and Lonzo Ball.

Clippers (-6) @ Kings, O/U 228.5 10:00PM ET

The Clippers run the 2nd slowest pace, but should be a target against the Kings' 7th highest tempo and 30th ranked defensive efficiency.

Tonight's Point Guard / Shooting Guard Notables

Luka Doncic DK $11 k | FD $11.6k

A sure thing? Doncic has hit 75+ in two of the last three, including a 25 shot, 13 rebounds, 9 assist performance on Wednesday even with Porzingis back. Luka put up 82fp in his last meeting with Milwaukee.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander DK $7.7k | FD $8.2k

Bounce back game for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? He's had a rare two down games (32fp, 19fp), but against a great Lakers defense and the improving Spurs. The Bulls defense should offer a relaxing kick-back, as they've allowed 125 ppg the last three.

D'Angelo Russell DK $8.3k | FD $7.5

D'Angelo Russell had 25 points and 8 assists on Wednesday and may get an even better rematch with Memphis if Ja Morant returns after a lengthy absence. Morant is rusty, and also runs a faster pace which helps Russell, who has taken 21+ shots in three straight.

Tim Hardaway $6.5k | FD $6.5k

Hardaway didn't take much of a usage hit in Porzingis' return on Wednesday, putting up 16 shots en route to a 31fp night. The Mavs get a pace boost vs. the Bucks tonight as well.

Tonight's SF / PF Notables

Brandon Ingram DK $8.6k | FD $8.8k

Brandon Ingram gets the rematch game against the Lakers tonight, and he does so with a 4% usage boost with Lonzo Ball and possibly Eric Bledsoe out of the lineup.

Malik Beasley DK $7.1k | FD $6.4k

Aside from the very interesting conversation going on about Beasley in the LineStar chat, the guy gets a rematch with the team he just hung a 28/6/5 line on Wednesday. These chase games don't always (hardly ever) work, but Beasley has at least 16 shots in 5 of the last 6 so the odds are in his favor.

Bojan Bogdanovic $5.3k | FD $4.3k

We miss out on the Bogdanovic Bowl tonight with Bogdan out for Atlanta with a knee injury. Bojan (no relation) looks like a solid play in a faster paced game vs. the Hawks. Joe Ingles is out for Utah, and Bojan has 20+ real points in two of the last three.

Aleksej Pokusevski DK $3.3k | FD $4k

There's upside on Pokusevski tonight, coming off his best performance (27fp) last time out against a good Lakers squad. Darius Bazley could sit, meaning Pokusevski gets increased usage against the Bulls 2nd worst defense.

Tonight's Center Position Notables

Jonas Valanciunas DK $7.1k | FD $7k

Valanciunas finally got in the 50-burger column Wednesday, and tonight gets a meeting with that same opponent in Minnesota. Valanciunas' line of 24/16 was no fluke, as the T'Wolves rank 30th vs. the C position.

Mitchell Robinson DK $6.3k | FD $6k

The Knicks get a matchup with a very thin Cleveland front court, as Andre Drummond missed the last game with an Achilles injury and Jarrett Allen is a GTD after the big trade this week. Robinson has hit 32+ fp the last two.
