Bledsoe looking to make it rain tonight!

Guards

Eric Bledsoe, MIL [vs WAS] (DK: $7.3k, FD: $7.9k)

Bledsoe has become the Bucks most consistent and go-to guy after losing Brogdon and Dellavedova. Their backup guards aren't getting much work at all which means Bledsoe is playing big minutes, averaging 36 minutes per game over the last 5 games. The Wizards are ranked 25th against starting point guards allowing 37 fantasy points a game. This game has a mediocre point total of 211.5 total points but it does have a very tight 3 point spread in favor of the Bucks. Bledsoe's salary is getting about as high as he can handle so he's not going to be playable for much longer.

Jamal Murray, DEN [vs LAC] (DK: $6.6k, FD: $7k)

This game is slated with a massive 232.2 total points and a close 4.5 point spread in favor of the Nuggets, making it the top game to target tonight. There are going to be a lot of points scored in this game and Murray is the type of guy that can put them up in a hurry if needed. He's played 35+ minutes and taken double digit shot attempts in each of the last 3 games. Denver is one of those annoying teams where you really need an injury for these players to start standing out but in a high scoring game like this tonight, Murray has the chance to get close to 40 fantasy points.

Tyrone Wallace, LAC [@DEN] (DK: $4k, FD: $4.5k)

Avery Bradley is out for a couple weeks, and Wallace made the last start in his place. Though they first declared Milos Teodosic as the starter originally, but Wallace performed well with the start so hopefully they let him keep starting for now. The list of injuries the Clippers have dealt with this year has been amazing, yet they keep winning and scoring a ton of points. As mentioned above this game is one of the top games to target tonight and you can get Wallace very cheap potentially in this starting role.

Forwards

Zach Randolph, SAC [@POR] (DK: $5.9k, FD: $6.8k)

Zach Randolph was a healthy scratch on Monday, as the Kings are back to resting a few veterans per game. Which means he should be all set to play today while some other veterans rest. Z-Bo went off for 50 fantasy points after his last rested game, so he's probably anxious to get back on the court. It's a mediocre matchup against Portland who are ranked 14th versus starting power forwards.

Wilson Chandler, DEN [vs LAC] (DK: $5.2k, FD: $5.6k)

Chandler has been hot, it's hard to ignore his mid 40's ceiling right now, so it's impossible not to consider him in this super high scoring game tonight. He's certainly a tournament only play as his floor is in the teens. It's possible Paul Millsap is going to return tonight, though not likely on the first day he's gotten the questionable tag. In either case, even if he plays he's going to be very limited and Chandler will still get plenty of time on the court tonight.

Dante Cunningham, BKN [@CLE] (DK: $3.5k, FD: $4.2k)

The Nets are giving Cunningham plenty of run, as he's been seeing between 23 and 28 minutes over each of the last 3 games. Dante has been scoring over a fantasy point per minute and been very efficient with the ball. The Cavs 2nd unit has been scoring a lot of points since being upgraded in the trades, so Dante Cunningham is going to need to respond as well. The Cavs are 10.5 point favorites here and have a decent chance to blow out the Nets which could mean even more time for Dante Cunningham tonight.

Centers

Dwight Howard has a sweet matchup tonight.

Joel Embiid, PHI [@MIA] (DK: $9.4k, FD: $10.2k)

Embiid is a tournament only play and you have a chance to get him at fairly low ownership tonight because this matchup is very ugly. Jokic is the obvious top center option who will be highly owned tonight. Embiid is a guy where the matchup doesn't matter, so you can pretty safely just ignore it and trust in Embiid if you're going to spend up at center tonight. This game has a close 1 point spread so Embiid is going to be out there doing his thing, and could end the night with a big statline in what looked like an ugly game.

Dwight Howard, CHA [vs CHI] (DK: $8.4k, FD: $8.5k)

Cristiano Felicio has allowed 38, 42, 70 fantasy points to Jarrett Allen, Towns and Embiid over the last 3 starts. There is no way Felicio is going to be able to slow down Howard, the only thing slowing down Howard tonight will be if the Hornets blow out the Bulls. LaVine is playing tonight, so maybe he's able to help keep the game close enough that Howard has to play the full game tonight.

John Henson, MIL [vs WAS] (DK: $4.7k, FD: $5.5k)

It's one of those nights at center, where you really have to choose whether you want to spend big bucks, or go cheap. If you're going cheap, Henson is a guy you can get for cheap and still has the chance to score 30 fantasy points. The Wizards are ranked 20th versus starting centers but have been giving up more points while at home. This is slated with a tight 3 point spread so Henson should have a chance to play 30+ minutes tonight.
