Tonight's Clippers / Lakers game has been postponed to allow the the players, the teams and the city, really, to mourn the loss of Kobe Bryant. There is still an 8-game slate on tap as the NBA continues to try and heal.

Tonight's DFS Headlines

Warriors @ Sixers

It would be a night to attack Golden State down low, as the Warriors got even thinner defensively on the post after trading away Willie Cauley-Stein.

Knicks @ Hornets

Another team to attack in the post is Charlotte, who rank 30th vs. the C and are also a bit fatigued after traveling to France to play the Bucks last Friday.

Pelicans @ Cavaliers

Cleveland broke their 7 game losing streak last night, but that also means they are on the back-to-back tonight vs. a high scoring Pelicans squad. Is it a possible blowout game for New Orleans visiting as -8.5 favorites?

Celtics @ Heat

The Heat are 21-2 at home on the year, but must extend that streak vs. Boston on 0 days rest. Miami is still a -1 favorite in this one.

Hawks @ Raptors

Atlanta at Toronto seems to be a game to attack with a betting total of 233. The Raptors are on a 7-game win streak coming into this one.

Nuggets @ Grizzlies

Denver continues to fight through injuries, as they are up to the #3 seed in the Western Conference. The Nuggets get a nice pace boost vs. Memphis tonight with a betting total of 223.5.

Wizards @ Bucks

How much court time do Milwaukee players see tonight as 16 point favorites at home vs. Washington? This could be a good spot to attack bench players, as the O/U is up there at 244.

Suns @ Mavericks

Dallas is also on a back-to-back hosting Phoenix tonight. Luka Doncic logged 33 minutes in the win at OKC.

Clippers @ Lakers PPD

Guards

Norman Powell DK $5.3k | FD $4.7k

The Raptors have 123 implied points tonight vs. Atlanta and Norman Powell is likely to factor in a good percentage of those, as the Hawks are 30th defensively vs. the SG position. Powell shoots 50% from the field this season and is in a 🏀Bounce Back🏀 game after going just 3-11 vs. the Spurs Sunday. On January 20th vs. the Hawks, Powell hit 6 of 9 three pointers en route to a 27 point night.

Tyler Herro DK $5.2k | FD $4.3k

Last night was supposed to be a big night for Tyler Herro as Jimmy Butler, Goran Dragic, and Kendrick Nunn were all (supposed to be) nursing injuries for Miami. Butler and Dragic both ended up playing and Herro went just 4-11 from the field to finish with 26 fp. With Miami on the back-to-back tonight, it's possible that tonight is the night where Butler and Dragic see their minutes cut, even though it's Boston visiting South Beach.

Ricky Rubio DK $6.4k | FD $5.6k

Ricky Rubio is a GTD tonight (ankle) which should drive down ownership, especially with an 8:30 ET start. It doesn't look like a great matchup on paper, as the Mavs are top 5 dVp against the PG, but they've been lit up a bit by opposing ball handlers lately. Opposing PG's have gone for 43+ fp in three straight games and Rubio needs a bounce back after three straight under 25 fp.

Forwards

Davis Bertans DK $5.3k | FD $5.1k

The rule is to play three point shooters against Milwaukee, which bodes well for Davis Bertans tonight. The Bucks are a -16 favorite tonight which (likely) means the Wizards will be launching from behind most of the night. Bertans has taken 7+ three point attempts in 7 of the 8 games since returning from a quad injury and has logged 30+ minutes in 2 of the last 3.

Khris Middleton DK $7k | FD $7.1k

Khris Middleton is back to being Mr. Consistent, except this year his 30 point floor has been upped to nearly 40. Middleton is just a couple points shy of going 6X this price in 5 of the last 8. The Bucks are in danger of blowing out Washington tonight, Middleton has still managed at least a dozen shots in 9 of 10 games, with six of those being double digit wins for Milwaukee.

Michael Porter, Jr. DK $6.2k | FD $5.3k

Crazy value for Michael Porter, Jr. on FD tonight in fast paced game vs. Memphis. The Nuggets get a 5 possession uptick tonight against Memphis, who is also middle of the pack (16th in rebounds). Since getting a boost in minutes for the banged up Nuggets squad, Porter, Jr. has grabbed 8+ rebounds in six straight games and has 13+ points in 6 of the last 7.

Center

Mitchell Robinson DK $5k | FD $4.6k

The Knicks are up against Charlotte tonight and the Hornets boast the league's #30 defense vs. the C position. New York is also on the 1st end of the back-to-back which should mean more time for bench players. That should equate to a big night for either Mitchell Robinson or Bobby Portis off the bench for NYK. Robinson had a 17 point, 12 rebound night vs. the Hornets back in mid-December and doesn't need much for value at this price.
