Beal will be jumping for joy tonight.

Guards

Bradley Beal, WAS [@NY] (DK: $8.9k, FD: $8.7k)

Tim Frazier has already been ruled out and Tomas Satoransky is a big question mark with a concussion. Beal is going to have the handle the ball a ton this game, in what is slated at a close 4.5 point spread and 208.5 total points. Beal has a good chance to see 40+ minutes tonight as long as a blowout doesn't happen and if you're seeing 40 minutes from a guy that's going to have high usage, he's definitely going to be high on the list of guys to own tonight.

De'Aaron Fox, SAC [@HOU] (DK: $6.3k, FD: $6k)

The Rockets have been getting smashed by starting point guards, allowing 44 FP to Teague, 40 to Dennis Smith, 45 to Dragic, and 42 to Dinwiddie over the last 5 games. Fox has been seeing over 30 minutes a game and fairly consistently scoring close to 30 fantasy points a game. The Rockets are favored by 15 points here, so this likely will end up in a blowout but the Kings don't really have a backup point guard until Shumpert is activated after the all star break, so Fox should see his 30 minutes regardless.

Josh Hart, LAL [@NO] (DK: $5.1k, FD: $6k)

Josh Hart put up a disappointing game on Saturday, the Lakers haven't played since and are sitting on a 4 day rest right now. Look for Hart to bounce back against the very poor Rondo defense on the other side of the ball. As the Pelicans rank 24th against starting point guards allowing 37 fantasy points a game. As mentioned above the point total and close spread make this a very appealing game to target tonight.

Forwards

Ben Simmons, PHI [vs MIA] (DK: $8k, FD: $8.9k)

Simmons price has dropped a bit, at least on DraftKings making him a viable option tonight. Miami has allowed 4 of the last 5 point guards to score 42+ fantasy points on them, including Ish Smith, Lowry, Bledsoe, and Chris Paul. Simmons has been remarkably consistent over the last month scoring exactly 40 fantasy points almost every game but not showing much of a ceiling which is holding him back to a cash only play.

Kyle Kuzma, LAL [@NO] (DK: $5.9k, FD: $6.9k)

The Lakers trade with the Cavs has cleared up additional court time for Kuzma where he's seen 24 and 32 minutes on the court following the trade. He's taken 12+ shots in each of the last 3 games and looks to have secured solid usage in the 2nd unit now with Nance gone. As mentioned above, this game is going to be a very important one to get the pieces right, and Kuzma is going to be a popular target tonight.

Allen Crabbe, BKN [vs IND] (DK: $5.1k, FD: $5.3k)

Caris LeVert has been out 3 games, and Crabbe has taken 22, 24 and 13 shots in each of those 3 games. It's not an ideal matchup versus the Pacers who are ranked 2nd against starting shooting guards but if Crabbe continues to see this number of shot attempts each game with LeVert out at this salary he's hard to pass up. This game is slated with a high 215 total points a close 4.5 point spread. The Nets take a big pace hit here, but will be keeping the pace up to stay close in this game as they crawl their way from behind.

Centers

Turner has been destroying the Nets, we expect that to continue.

Anthony Davis, NO [vs LAL] (DK: $11.6k, FD: $11.8k)

With this being a 12-game slate you probably don't need to pay up for a huge stud like Anthony Davis, but he has huge upside tonight versus the Lakers. This game has a massive 229.5 point total and Davis is going to account for a large part of that, with a tight 5.5 point spread to keep things close. If you find enough value elsewhere in this slate, Davis is definitely a solid option to pay up for tonight.

Myles Turner, IND [@BKN] (DK: $6.8k, FD: $6.8k)

Turner has been destroying the Nets, scoring 51, 31, and 48 fantasy points in 3 games against them this season. The Nets are ranked dead last versus starting centers allowing 44 fantasy points per game. This game has a high point total with 215 total points a close 4.5 point spread to keep things interesting tonight.

Dewayne Dedmon, ATL [@DET] (DK: $5.5k, FD: $5.7k)

Dedmon is back for the 2nd game in a row here in the newsletter after performing last night. As mentioned yesterday, the Hawks are finally putting Plumlee on the bench allowing Dewayne Dedmon to start and get more time on the court. Dedmon has already had solid games versus the Pistons this season scoring 29 and 47 fantasy points in 2 starts this season. They rank 21st versus starting centers allowing 33 fantasy points a game and even more while they're at home.
