Top NBA Plays 1/30| Saturday Slam
It's a 10-game Saturday slate tonight and Oh My God that's Memphis' music as the Grizzlies are back in action after a 12 day layoff. The Lakers also visit Boston and the Bucks, Pelicans, Kings, and Spurs are all in action after hard fought games last night.
Today's NBA Matchups
Rockets (-1) @ Pelicans , O/U 223, 8:00 PM ET
The Rockets are starting to figure things out, winners of three straight. There's a great chance to push that to four vs. a Pelicans team coming off a fast paced 131-126 win over the Bucks last night.
Trail Blazers @ Bulls (-2.5), O/U 233, 8:00 PM ET
Chicago is well rested having not played since a loss to the Celtics on Monday. Damian Lillard has only averaged 21 ppg in 16 career games vs. Chicago.
Kings @ Heat (-5) , O/U 225, 8:00 PM ET
With Miami being favored against anybody right now there must be some reinforcements coming and sure enough, Jimmy Butler has been upgraded to questionable. Sacramento is on the back-to-back as well.
Bucks (-8.5) @ Hornets, O/U 230.5, 8:00 PM ET
The Bucks are still huge favorites despite a 131-126 loss to New Orleans last night. The Hornets are on the b2b as well though after beating the Pacers last night.
Lakers (-2) @ Celtics, O/U 218,8:30 PM ET
L.A. is coming off an inexplicable 15 point loss to Detroit on Thursday although they did play without Anthony Davis, who is on the injury report again with a quad ailment. Boston lost to the Spurs on Wednesday despite being almost full strength for the first time all season.
Grizzlies @ Spurs (-3.5), O/U 220, 8:30 PM ET
Memphis is finally back in action tonight, coming off a 12 day layoff for COVID cases. The Spurs are favored despite being on the back-to-back after a 10-point win over the Nuggets last night.
Suns @ Mavs (-1.5), O/U 215.5, 8:00 PM ET
Dallas is surprisingly just 2-4 at home this year, and they're now in a four game losing streak.
Pistons @ Warriors (-4.5), O/U 223.5, 10:00 PM ET
Detroit heads to the West Coast after an upset of the Lakers on Thursday. The Warriors looked good in a couple of wins over the T'Wolves, but lost by 21 to the Suns last time out.
Tonight's Point Guard / Shooting Guard Notables
Damian Lillard DK $10.6k | FD $9.7k
Lillard's career numbers haven't been great vs. Chicago, but PGs are a must play vs. the Bulls right now as they've allowed 40+ to pretty much everybody not named Dennis Schroder.
Victor Oladipo DK $7.9k | FD $8.5k
45 would seem to be the floor for Oladipo up against a New Orleans team that should be exhausted after their win over the Bucks last night. Dipo has 20+ shots in four of his last five.
Tyler Herro DK $7.2k | FD $6.7k
Herro returned after a 7-game absence on Wednesday and launched it 21 times en route to a 42fp night vs. the shorthanded Clippers. It's a great spot vs. the Kings on a back-to-back after a 126-124 battle win vs. Toronto.
Ja Morant DK $7.1k | FD $7.9
Morant has a 48fp floor vs. the Spurs the last three games and he's hit 56+ in two of those tilts. The Griz are playing for the first time in 12 days so he should be incredibly fresh.
Tonight's SF / PF Notables
Christian Wood DK $8.7k | FD $9.4k
New Orleans probably wants a mulligan on Christian Wood, They waived the big man after only 8 games in the 2018/19 season despite him posting a 17.9 point, 7.9 rebound average. Your revenge is ready, and it's cold.
Kelly Oubre, Jr. DK $6k | FD $5.6k
Kelly Oubre, Jr. had the tank game on Thursday but it was coming on the back to back. He shot just 1-11 from the field but had a couple 36+ fp nights before that albeit against Minnesota. There is upside against Detroit's #19 defense.
Blake Griffin DK $5.9k | FD $5.8
Is Blake Griffin back? He had 38 fp at home vs. the Lakers last game but now gets to head back to the West Coast in a meeting with Golden State. Griffin had 8/5/3 in the first matchup with the Warriors, but that was also in just 17 minutes. Can we see double that here?
Carmelo Anthony DK $5.5k | FD $5.2
Carmelo Anthony has taken 13+ shots in the last four games, and tonight visits Chicago who never asked him to play for them after a 2019 trade.
Tonight's Center Position Notables
Deandre Ayton DK $7.8k | FD $8.1k
Center vs. Dallas is a thing, and the Mavs have allowed a minimum of 35 fp to five straight at the position. That includes a 20 board game from Rudy Gobert and Demarcus Cousins grabbing 17 rebounds last Saturday.
Lamarcus Aldridge DK $5.4k | FD $5.9k
The Spurs are on the back to back, but Lamarcus Aldridge only played 22 minutes in the win over Denver last night. He's got a great matchup vs. Memphis, who had allowed 39+ fp in four straight prior to their hiatus.
