It was scheduled to be an unusually small 7-game Saturday slate tonight, but even that took a hit with the Spurs @ Knicks and Pacers @ Rockets games getting postponed. We've still got 5 on it, so let's see the plays:

Today's NBA Matchups

Warriors (-2) @ Hornets , O/U 230.5, 8:00 PM ET

As expected Golden State laid kind of an egg last night, making their first trip to the East Coast since the end of December and not playing any defense in a 124-120 loss to Orlando. Things don't get any easier on the b2b against a Charlotte team that has been sitting since Sunday due to COVID cancellations.

Heat @ Lakers (-3), O/U 212.5, 8:30 PM ET

This betting total isn't pretty, and the Lakers managed just 98 points on Thursday against Brooklyn's horrible defense. Miami returns home after a 2-3 trip to the West Coast.

Lineup Notes: Goran Dragic and Anthony Davis are out. Dennis Schroder is also questionable.

Suns (-4) @ Grizzlies , O/U 224.5, 9:00 PM ET

Both teams are on the b2b, but each had pretty easy times last night with 14+ point wins. The Suns only loss in the last 8 games was a 4-point defeat to the Nets, and Memphis also allowed 144 points to New Orleans this week.

Kings (-2.5) @ Bulls, O/U 232.5, 9:00 PM ET

Chicago seems like kind of strange home 'dogs here, even though they're on the b2b they played tough in a 112-105 loss to the Sixers last night. Sacramento has dropped five straight - all at home - and now heads to the East Coast/ Midwest. Looking like a big Bulls night.

Lineup Notes: Harrison Barnes and Richaun Holmes are both questionable.

Wizards @ Trail Blazers (-3.5), O/U 242, 10:00 PM ET

Holy expected points! We've got a betting total in the 240s with a Washington team that's put up 130+ the last two and a Blazers squad that has rattled off six straight wins.

Tonight's Point Guard / Shooting Guard Notables

Zach LaVine DK $9.2k | FD $9.5k

vs. Chicago

Everybody is going to be riding Damian Lillard vs. the Wizards as the spend-up guard, especially with Steph Curry and Zach LaVine both on the back-to-back. Chicago shouldn't be home dogs tonight vs. the Kings, who have allowed 50+ fp to Jimmy Butler and James Harden the last two. LaVine has 30+ real points in 5 of the last 6.

Terry Rozier DK $7.9k | FD $7k

vs. Golden State

You'd think either Terry Rozier or LaMelo Ball ($8.8k) are set to go off tonight. Charlotte has been sitting idle for 5 days up against Golden State who was in a 4-point battle at Orlando last night. Roz Bud has been hot with 33+ real points in three straight, and the Hornets are also likely without Devonte Graham tonight. 🔨🔨🔒🔒

Cory Joseph DK $4.2k | FD $4.2k

@Chicago

The Bulls have shifted from struggling vs. the frontcourt to getting lit up by guards. Joseph has had a few up games lately, scoring a dozen plus in three of the last four and earning a minutes increase with 25+ in four straight.

Tonight's SF / PF Notables

Jimmy Butler DK $8.9k | FD $9.2k

@ Lakers

There are no celebs in attendance, but does Jimmy Butler aka Randy Newman still "Love L.A.?" Butler had a couple 80+ fp games vs. the Lakers in the Bubble in last year's Finals and is on fire right now with a triple-double in 4 of the last 5.

Marvin Bagley DK $5.4k | FD $5.4k

@Chicago

The Bulls' interior defense has been admittedly better recently, but do you trust it? Marvin Bagley III is up against his old Duke teammate Wendell Carter, Jr. tonight, and Bagley has been playing better with 19+ real points in two straight. The Bulls being on the back to back doesn't hurt, nor does Harrison Barnes and/or Richaun Holmes being out for the Kings.

Carmelo Anthony DK $6.2k | FD $6.4k

vs. Wizards

Robert Covington is a great play here too as the Portland Washington game has a betting total in the 240s. Carmelo is $1k cheaper though and has hit for 30+ fp in three straight vs. Washington.

Tonight's Center Position Notables

Deandre Ayton DK $6.8k | FD $6.6k

@ Memphis

It's a very light center slate tonight, but Deandre Ayton had 18 points and 16 boards vs. the Grizzlies in mid-January and had 17 & 15 in January of last year. That's 45+ fp the last two meetings, and Ayton also had 16 boards last night against New Orleans. The back to back isn't ideal, but it's not a center's market tonight.

Cody Zeller DK $6.4k | FD $5.1k

vs. Golden State

Zeller hasn't done much lately, but that's crazy FD pricing for a Golden State team that is getting killed by opposing C's lately...and is on the b2b. Nikola Vucevic beat up on the GSW post last night for 30/16/10 so there should be a lot of easy buckets out there for Zells Bells.
