Guards

Russell Westbrook, OKC [@LAC] (DK: $11.3k, FD:$12.5k)

The Westbrook rule is in effect for this tiny 2 game slate, which says play Westbrook in every small slate. There are some other options out there tonight that could make fading Westbrook possible, but no one has Westbrook's ceiling and if he reaches that on a small slate you won't be able to cash without him. Vegas has the Thunder favored by 1.5 points here and Westbrook plays his hardest in tight games or from behind, which can definitely happen tonight.

Eric Gordon, HOU [vs GS] (DK: $6.5k, FD: $6.9k)

Gordon will be starting again tonight and for the foreseeable future with Harden sidelined with a hamstring injury. Gordon had a decent game last night almost meeting projections, but he only hit 5 of his 16 shots. It would be hard to shoot much worse than that, so look for him to have a better game tonight if he can get his shot to fall. Vegas has this as the highest scoring game tonight at a massive 230 point over under, you'll certainly want a decent number of guys from this game.

Forwards

Draymond Green, GS [@HOU] (DK: $6.6k, FD: $7.8k)

Draymond is the cheapest he's been on DraftKings all season tonight, which is going to make it hard not to play him tonight. It's not the best matchup as the Rockets are ranked 8th against starting power forwards allowing only 27 fantasy points a game. Just keep an eye out for injury updates as Green was questionable last night with an ankle injury and gutted through it so it's possible he gets rested tonight.

Gerald Green, HOU [vs GS] (DK: $4k, FD: $4.1k)

Just a few days ago Gerald Green wasn't in the NBA and now he's coming off a game in which he played 28 minutes and scored 27 points. He's going to get a lot of attention tonight after that performance, so he'll likely be highly owned tonight. It's hard to see him repeating that performance but as long as he remains this cheap and gets on the court close to 30 minutes, he can certainly provide value tonight if you're paying up for Westbrook. The Warriors have a couple of their reserve players with questionable tags today, which could make for an even juicer matchup for Green tonight.

Centers

Clint Capela, HOU [vs GS] (DK: $6.8k, FD: $7.5k)

There are no great options at center tonight, you'll kind of have to choose the lesser of several evils tonight. Houston is without Nene tonight which could mean more minutes for Capela (and Tarik Black). It's not a great matchup as the Warriors are ranked 7th against starting centers but it's pegged as the highest scoring game of the night by far so it's worth a shot.

DeAndre Jordan, LAC [vs OKC] (DK: $6.7k, FD: $7.3k)

Center is a wasteland in this 2 game slate but Jordan looks to be the safest option tonight. It's a negative matchup against OKC and Steven Adams who ranks among the top of the league in defensive rating, so it's not going to feel great putting him into your lineup. If you want to dig real deep, Zaza Pachulia could be the cheap salary saver option as the Warriors are dealing with injury problems which could mean more minutes for Pachulia.
