Guards

Jrue Holiday, NO [vs PHO] (DK: $8.1k, FD: $8.5k)

Holiday is here again! He's just been a complete beast since Cousins went down with injury, and tonight he gets the best matchup yet. The Suns rank dead last versus starting shooting guards giving up 37 fantasy points a game. Devin Booker is one of the worst ranked players in defensive rating in the league. This game also has the highest point total of the night at 232 total points and a 7.5 point spread in favor of the Pelicans.

Ricky Rubio, UTA [vs HOU] (DK: $5.6k, FD: $6.8k)

Rubio played 29 minutes in the last game, so it appears he's pretty much back to his normal minutes now after returning from hip injury. Rubio was extremely hot before going down with injury, so it would really help to see him come back and get hot here, but I wouldn't blame anyone for not playing him tonight and waiting to see if he can get hot again. If you give him a try tonight, you get him at a discounted salary and trying to hit that big game tonight in a close 2.5 point battle.

Jamal Crawford, MIN [@SAC] (DK: $3.8k, FD: $4.9k)

This makes for a better play on DraftKings, as his FanDuel salary has already been heavily increased. Of course Butler is off the court tonight after undergoing surgery on his right knee after tearing his meniscus and will be out around 4-6 weeks at least. Crawford is seeing +1.4% usage and +11.6 FP/48 mins while Butler is off for the entire game over the course of the season. It's a nice matchup against the Kings who are giving up plenty of points to backups and with a nice 215.5 point total and a somewhat close 5.5 point spread.

Forwards

T.J. Warren, PHO [@NO] (DK: $6.2k, FD: $6.5k)

With this game having the highest point total of the night at a massive 232 total points, you're certainly going to want to target some guys in this game. Warren makes for a nice target as his salary is not outrageous and he has a ceiling in the 40's. It's a tougher matchup as the Pelicans rank 4th versus starting small forwards over the last 20 games, but over the last 5 games they're ranked 28th. They've let Middleton, Richardson, Ingram and Joe Harris all exceed 30 fantasy points over the last 5 games.

Lauri Markkanen, CHI [@BKN] (DK: $5.5k, FD: $6.1k)

Markkanen's salary is down a bit after 2 poor outings where he only made 1 of 8 field goal attempts in both games and he can certainly do better than that tonight. He's still seeing upwards of 30 minutes per game, and is in a great spot to bounce back tonight against the Nets who are ranked 28th against starting power forwards. Markkanen doesn't have a very high ceiling anymore, but can still easily hit 30 fantasy points any given night, especially against the Nets.

Skal Labissiere, SAC [vs MIN] (DK: $4.5k, FD: $5.4k)

Skal has played 25+ minutes in each of the games played after returning from his strained shoulder, so it looks like he's good to roll. Labissiere has an attainable ceiling in the low 30's and he's currently priced very low on DraftKings for this ceiling. The Timberwolves are ranked dead last versus guys off the bench, so he's in a great spot tonight against a team that is still depressed about losing Butler.

Centers

Marc Gasol, MEM (DK: $7.1k, FD: $6.9k)

Gasol is getting a nice discount tonight and is coming off an extra game of rest so he should be ready to ball tonight. This game has a very low point total at 201.5 total points and the Grizzlies are 12 point underdogs so this is a very ugly game to target, so be careful here. It's just hard to ignore Gasol's salary and he's one of the few healthy guys left on this team that can score.

Alex Len, PHO [@NO] (DK: $5.6k, FD: $5.2k)

As long as Tyson Chandler remains out, Alex Len will make for an excellent price at this salary range. Chandler is questionable to play tonight, so check for his injury update later today. Even if Chandler is back, the Suns are likely giving more minutes to their young Alex Len moving forward. The Pelicans are ranked 24th against starting centers though they've been a lot better while playing at home.

Dewayne Dedmon, ATL [vs LAL] (DK: $5.3k, FD: $5.6k)

Please keep in mind, this is very much a tournament play only! The Hawks are out of it, and are playing shenanigans with their players. Dedmon didn't see the court past half time in their previous game when they really could have used him. If they decide to play in a fun game at home versus the Lakers tonight, Dedmon has a ceiling near 40 points at a very cheap price tonight. So maybe they'll just play for their home fans moving forward. It really depends whether the coach and team let him play.. that is the question tonight. Are you feeling lucky?!
