Guards

Jimmy Butler, MIN [vs PHI] (DK: $8k, FD: $9k)

Butler has been one of the most consistent players over the last 8 games, putting up 40+ fantasy points in 7 of those. It looks like Butler has found his role in this Timberwolves team and looks very comfortable now. Tonight he gets to face the 76ers who are ranked 18th against starting shooting guards and going back to last year, Butler found a way to put up 50+ fantasy points in 3 of their 4 against them (on the Bulls).

Lonzo Ball, LAL [@NY] (DK: $6.6k, FD: $7.3k)

Lonzo remains a tournament-only option as his ceiling is around 50 in a matchup like this but his floor is 20. If you're looking for high upside at a reasonable salary though look no further than Lonzo Ball. He's in a good spot tonight facing the Knicks who are ranked 22nd against starting point guards allowing 34 fantasy points a game, though a good deal less when at home. However Ball has been playing better away from Los Angeles to make up for that. Vegas doesn't have a clear game that stands out tonight that will be the highest scoring, but this game looks good at a 213 point over/under and only a 3.5 point spread in favor of the Knicks to keep things competitive to the end.

Jarrett Jack, NY [vs LAL] (DK: $4.5k, FD: $4.8k)

The other side of this game as well is pretty juicy, as the Lakers are ranked dead last against starting point guards allowing 39 fantasy points a game. The Knicks see a huge pace jump when facing the Lakers in what is going to be a close game. Jack doesn't have a huge amount of upside, so if you're happy with 30 fantasy points, he's capable of possibly providing that.

Forwards

Kristaps Porzingis, NY [vs LAL] (DK: $8.5k, FD: $9.7k)

Without Hardaway on the court, Porzingis is going to see increased usage as long as he remains healthy which is a question mark with this big man. He's seeing a positive matchup here against the Lakers who are ranked 19th against starting power forwards, allowing 28 fantasy points a game.

Ersan Ilyasova, ATL [@CLE] (DK: $5.2k, FD: $5.9k)

Atlanta continues to be without Dedmon, Muscala, and Collins. Continue riding Ersan until Collins returns, possibly on Thursday. Targeting the Cavs is always juicy as there are points to go around as they are ranked 25th against starting power forwards allowing 32 fantasy points a game and even more when they're big favorites. The Cavs pattern is to give up a ton of points in the first half, where teams keep it close and then pull away late in the game which is fine because Ilyasova would have done his damage already.

Marquese Chriss, PHO [@SAC] (DK: $4.1k, FD: $4.6k)

The Suns need someone to step up in Bookers' absence and so far Chriss has had 2 building games in tougher matchups. He hasn't played well this year but it appears they're going to continue sticking with him. Tonight he gets a much easier matchup against the Kings who are ranked 22nd against starting power forwards. Chriss has put up 30+ fantasy points in 3 straight matchups against the Kings going back to last year. This is a tournament play only as Chriss's floor right now is 10 fantasy points as it's not yet clear if they're willing to trust him with they have Bender and Dudley available.

Centers

Andre Drummond, DET [vs DEN] (DK: $9.4k, FD: $9.2k)

Drummond is the stud center of the night, he has a matchup against the backup centers that Denver is putting up. Vegas has this game as a similar one to all of the others tonight at 210.5 point over under and a 6 point spread in favor of Detroit. It's hard not to like Drummond tonight other than his monster salary, but he is the safest center on the slate and has the highest ceiling, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Willie Cauley-Stein, SAC [vs PHO] (DK: $5.3k, FD: $6k)

Willie sounds probable to play tonight, but only attempt to play him if he's not under a restriction which we haven't heard yet. If he's cleared to play without restriction then Cauley-Stein is in a great spot to continue to roll he was on before getting injured. Facing the Suns who are ranked 30th against starting power forwards giving up 37 fantasy points a game. This is also a rare game for both teams where there is a small 4.5 point spread, and both are going to be fighting for this win tonight.

Marcin Gortat, WAS [@BKN] (DK: $5.2k, FD: $4.7k)

John Wall could be back tonight, which could take some pressure off this team and help get Gortat more involved. Ian Mahinmi is also questionable which could help Gortat get back to 30 minutes tonight. In what is a very positive matchup against the Nets who are ranked 26th against starting centers allowing 34 fantasy points game.
