Guards
Kemba Walker, CHA [vs GS] (DK: $7.8k, FD: $8.2k)
Kemba gets another home game tonight, against the Curry-less Warriors. Without Curry, this is slated to be the 2nd highest scoring game of the night at a 217 point over/under and a fist fight with only a 5.5 spread in favor of the Warriors. This will be Kemba's 2nd game back from injury, but he got the full green light in his first game and has had 2 days of rest for this battle.
Rajon Rondo, NO [vs DEN] (DK: $5.5k, FD: $6k)
As long as Anthony Davis remains out, Rondo should keep doing what he's been doing. His salary has been slow to adapt and he still provides a nice value tonight. This game is slated with the highest over/under of the night at 220.5 and only a 5 point spread in favor of the Pelicans. The Nuggets will be without Jokic again and only rank 22nd against starting point guard allowing 35 fantasy points a game.
Danny Green, SA [vs MIA] (DK: $4.6k, FD: $4.5k)
Yes yes, Green is maddeningly inconsistent, so this is a tournament only play. Without Kyle Anderson in the lineup we may see some more consistent usage for Green as the Spurs are going to need a few guys to step up and fill Andersons void. Green has played well against Miami earlier this season as well and they are only ranked 23rd against starting shooting guards allowing 30 fantasy points a game. So if you're looking to save a few salary bucks and looking for a guy with some upside, Green should be worth a look.
Forwards
Al Horford, BOS [vs DAL] (DK: $7.4k, FD: $7.6k)
He's eclipsed the 40 fantasy point mark in 4 of the last 5 games and draws another favorable home game tonight against the Mavericks. Dallas is ranked 26th against starting power forwards allowing 34 fantasy points a game. The game could turn into a blowout with a 9 point spread in favor of Boston but at the pace of both of these teams that likely won't happen until late.
Zach Randolph, SAC [@CLE] (DK: $5.3k, FD: $5.9k)
The Kings will be without Willie Cauley-Stein tonight, who was on fire before getting injured. Zach Randolph should be in line for some extra minutes on the court in what is an excellent matchup against the Cavs who are ranked 27th against starting power forwards allowing 34 fantasy points a game. This game is slated to be a blowout as the Cavs are favored by 12.5 but they usually allow the opposing team to put up 60 points in the first half before turning on the jets, so Z-Bo can still get the job done.
Courtney Lee, NY [vs MEM] (DK: $5.2k, FD: $5.2k)
Lee just laid a major turd in their last game against the Pacers but so did the entire team without Hardaway and Porzingis. The Knicks should be getting Porzingis back tonight which means they should be able to get back to work, as teams will have to actually respect the interior again. Lee is going to be needed to pick up some of the slack lost without Hardaway in the lineup.
Centers
Kevin Love, CLE [vs SAC] (DK: $8.4k, FD: $8.2k)
Another tough night at Center, lot of guys with bad matchups and a lot of very high salaries. Kevin Love has his own risk in this game in what is surely to be a blowout. However with the way he's scoring in the first half that's all he might need when matching up against Kosta Koufos on the other side of the ball. It's a lot to pay for a blowout game, but if by some miracle they keep it close for long enough Love would have a monster game.
DeAndre Jordan, LAC [vs MIN] (DK: $6.9k, FD: $7.6k)
Jordan has yet to have a huge game without the Griffin-less Clippers, but it's bound to come eventually. The Clippers just played the Timberwolves on Sunday and now get to face them again at home. Jordan put up 37 fantasy points in 35 minutes on Sunday, and should be able to eclipse that number at home. This game has just a 5.5 point spread, so it should be a battle to the end.
Enes Kanter, NY [vs MEM] (DK: $6.4k, FD: $6.2k)
It's a bad matchup, but his ceiling is too hard to ignore when the Knicks are without Hardaway one of their top scorers. Porzingis is probable to play, but if he's out there not at full strength the job could fall to Kanter to get more work done. Keep him in mind for tournament action only, as he's going to be low owned coming off this dud and with this tough matchup.
