Guards

Kemba Walker, CHA [@GS] (DK: $7.1k FD: $7.5k)

This is one of the higher over-unders of the night at 214.5 points but it is an 11 point spread in favor of the Warriors, so there is some blowout risk here. It's a nice matchup as the Warriors are 23rd against starting point guards allowing 34 fantasy points a game, though a bit better at home. Kemba put up 44 fantasy points against them earlier this month, without Green or Curry. His shot has been a bit off, but that hasn't stopped him from shooting 20 times a game and if he can get a few more to fall he could have a nice game.

Bradley Beal, WAS [vs HOU] (DK: $7.2k, FD: $8.1k)

Vegas has this as the highest scoring game of the night with a 221 point over under and a tiny 1 point spread in favor of the Rockets. Which means you'll likely want to target some players from this game. Beal makes for a good target, as he comes with a fairly priced salary and a good matchup. The Rockets are ranked 28th against starting shooting guards allowing 33 fantasy points a game. The Wizards are still being cautious with Wall, so Beal is picking up some extra usage.

Austin Rivers, LAC [@LAL] (DK: $6.5k, FD: $6.2k)

Rivers continues to have a high ceiling while the Clippers deal with their injury problems. Blake Griffin is questionable to return today but even if he does he'll likely be limited, leaving Rivers and Lou to do most of the work. The Lakers are ranked 26th against starting shooting guards allowing 33 fantasy points a game.

Forwards

Draymond Green, GS [vs CHA] (DK: $7.9k, FD: $8.3k)

His price has gone up, but without Stephen Curry in the lineup he still has a ceiling of 50 points and a high floor as well. If you can find some savings elsewhere in your lineup paying up for Green could pay off with a big game. The Hornets are ranked 22nd against starting power forwards allowing 30 fantasy points a game. They've given up 5 straight games of 37+ fantasy points to opposing starting power forwards.

Lance Stephenson, IND [@CHI] (DK: $5.6k, FD: $5.8k)

Victor Oladipo has been ruled out for the 2nd game in a row, leaving Lance Stephenson to fill in once again. Lance stepped up big time last game against the Mavericks putting up 47 fantasy points and logging 36 minutes of court time. It's a fairly neutral matchup against the Bulls who are ranked 16th against starting shooting guards allowing 30 fantasy points a game, but less when at home. Vegas has this as a very close game with a 2.5 point spread in favor of the Bulls, so all signs point to keeping Lance in your lineup tonight.

Maxi Kleber, DAL [@NO] (DK: $3.9k, FD: $4.3k)

Here is the dart throw of the day, treat him as a high risk tournament play only. Dallas could need another big man on the court to defend Cousins and Davis, so Maxi the Kleber elf could see some extra court time tonight. He's extremely inconsistent but has shown a high ceiling when he gets playing time but he literally has a floor of single digit fantasy points, so play with care.

Stretch Kleby stretch...

Centers

Steven Adams, OKC [vs MIL] (DK: $6.3k, FD: $7.4k)

Adams continues to see fairly priced salaries which has made him a nice target for much of the season. The Bucks are ranked 19th against starting centers allowing 32 fantasy points a game and typically more on the road and as the underdog. Adams scores almost 5 fantasy points a game more in home games, and Westbrook generally plays his hardest when the Thunder are underdogs, so since they're favored by 8.5 points here, Adams should be able to get work done tonight.

Robin Lopez, CHI [vs IND] (DK: $4.8k, FD: $5k)

Lopez has been dirt cheap for 2 weeks now and hasn't shown much to get excited about. He's a cheap tournament only option as his ceiling is around 35 fantasy points in a contest like this. The Pacers are ranked 28th against starting centers allowing 35 fantasy points a game and a bit more while they're on the road. Lopez hasn't played great against them in 2 games this year but did play 28 and 34 minutes in those contests.

Jonas Valanciunas, TOR [vs ATL] (DK: $4.7k, FD: $5.1k)

The ultimate tournament play recipe, all this one needs is an extra 8-10 minutes of time on the court and it's cooked to perfection. Valanciunas can easily provide over a fantasy point per minute, the problem is that his coach only plays him 20 minutes most nights. If you're lucky enough to roster him on one of those magical nights he sees over 20 minutes he provides tremendous value at this deflated salary. He's played well in these high scoring large spread games, and the matchup is good making him a flier option for tonight.
