Guards

Victor Oladipo, IND [vs MIL] (DK: $8.6k, FD: $9.4k)

Vegas has this as a very appealing game to target tonight, with the spread only being 1.5 points in favor of the Pacers with a 214 point total. Oladipo did not look limited at all after returning from injury as he went on to put up 55 fantasy points in only 24 minutes as the Pacers completely blew out Chicago and he was rested the entire 4th quarter. Facing the Bucks tonight who rank 21st against shooting guards allowing 31 fantasy points a game, and even more while they're on the road.

Jimmy Butler, MIN [vs CLE] (DK: $8.4k, FD: $9.7k)

This is one of the top games to target tonight as Vegas has this game in a dead heat with the largest over under of any of the close games at 221.5 points. The Cavs are ranked 28th against shooting guards allowing 34 fantasy points a game. Butler had a good history against Cleveland while playing on the Bulls last season, averaging close to 50 fantasy points a game.

Jawun Evans, LAC [vs ATL] (DK: $4.1k, FD: $5.1k)

Milos Teodosic sounds unlikely to play Monday according to his coach, which means Evans will probably get another start tonight. The Clippers will likely also be without Blake Griffin who suffered a concussion on Saturday which means more usage up in the air tonight. Tyrone Wallace showed up out of no where as well and would be a value guy to possibly target, but Evans remains the safer play until we see more of Wallace. Vegas has the Clippers favored by only 4.5 points and a fairly high game total at 214 points.

Forwards

Anthony Davis, NO [vs DET] (DK: $9.7k, FD: $10.9k)

Davis makes for a better DraftKings play today, in large part due to his salary being the lowest all season. He's also facing the Pistons who are ranked 29th versus starting power forwards allowing 34 fantasy points a game and even slightly worse while on the road. Vegas has this as a fairly close game with the Pelicans being favored by 6.5 points but this is still a game that could potentially become a blowout, as the main concern. Games since last injury coutdown: 10.

LaMarcus Aldridge, SA [@SAC] (DK: $7.7k, FD: $8.7k)

Kawhi Leonard is dealing with a partial tear in his shoulder and it's unclear when he'll play again, it could be today or it could be a while. As long as he's off the court and Aldridge is around this price range he remains a solid value choice. He'll be facing the Kings tonight who are ranked 24th against power forwards allowing 31 fantasy points a game, though they have played better at home.

Trey Lyles, DEN [@GS] (DK: $5.7k, FD: $6.4k)

Trey Lyles has been having a huge 2 weeks of basketball, averaging 36 fantasy points and close to 30 minutes per game over the last 5 games. The Warriors give up the most points to the bench in the league and are favored by 11 points tonight which indicates maybe a little extra time for the backups tonight.

Centers

DeAndre Jordan, LAC [vs ATL] (DK: $7.8k, FD: $8.3k)

Blake Griffin is likely out tonight with a concussion he sustained on Saturday. Without Blake on the court, Jordan is seeing +2% usage and averages close to 8 fantasy points more per game. The Hawks are ranked 26th against starting centers allowing 33 fantasy points a game. The Hawks have a void at center and continue to play Miles Plumlee and John Collins and are getting Mike Muscala back into the mix.

Willie Cauley-Stein, SAC [vs SA] (DK: $6.2k, FD: $6.9k)

Zach Randolph's status is completely unclear at this moment but if he were to sit again WCS is definitely worth a look tonight. The Spurs are ranked 18th against starting centers but are much worse on the road and are on the back end of a back to back tonight. This game does have the lowest point total of the night at 199.5 though so it's not really a game to target guys in unless players like Randolph and others sit tonight opening up value.

Tristan Thompson, CLE [@MIN] (DK: $4k, FD: $3.9k)

It appears Thompson is mostly back up to speed after returning from injury and could play a full complement of minutes at this point if needed. However he doesn't have a clear path to see 30 minutes with Crowder in the mix. With this being one of the top games to target tonight though, he makes for a nice flier if the Cavs decide they want him on the court more tonight.
