Tastefully curated M-F by LineStar fantasy experts.

Baseball is coming soon, but for now we've got some of the best NBA we've seen all season! The time to take advantage is now! 

Guards

Chris Paul, HOU [@LAC] (DK: $8.3k, FD: $8.4k)

Chris Paul is seeing a nice salary drop tonight making him much more affordable tonight in a great revenge matchup. The Clippers are allowing loads and loads of points to be scored against them, and they rank 21st versus starting point guards allowing 36 fantasy points a game. This game has the highest point total at 227.5 total points and a 7.5 point spread in favor of the Rockets. The Clippers aren't likely to let this game get out of hand while playing at home, so pun-intended, rockets should be firing all night.

Jrue Holiday, NO [@SA] (DK: $7.8k, FD: $8k)

The matchup doesn't look great on paper, with the Spurs being ranked 9th against starting shooting guards. The Spurs main focus tonight has to be to trying to slow down Anthony Davis, which means Jrue Holiday could see some more open shots. He's getting a decent salary drop tonight from last game and likely won't be seeing high ownership tonight because of the matchup and the slight dud last outing. This game has a very high 218.5 total points and a close 4.5 point spread making it a great target tonight.

Jeremy Lamb, CHA [@BOS] (DK: $4.5k, FD: $4.4k)

There is a good chance Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will miss tonight's game, which means more minutes for Lamb. Make sure to watch the injury news tonight for MKG as you'll want to make sure he's out tonight if you're going to fire up Lamb. Lamb can score close to a fantasy point per minute, so if he gets 30 or more minutes tonight there is a great chance he breaks 30 fantasy points tonight at a very low salary. There is no doubt Boston is good defensively but if there's a spot they struggle it's with a guy like Lamb.

Forwards

Anthony Davis, NO [@SA] (DK: $11.7k, FD: $12.5k)

It's impossible not to write down AD's name here, he's been an absolute beast without Cousins on the floor. His ceiling is damn near 100 fantasy points right now and of course he's going to be highly owned. As expensive as he is, he's still under-priced with how many fantasy points he has been scoring with consistency. There likely won't be Pau Gasol out on the court tonight, so it's going to be up to some other guys to try and slow him down, good luck to them.

Trevor Ariza, HOU [@LAC] (DK: $4.6k, FD: $4.7k)

Ariza has a lot of things going for him tonight: the Clippers are ranked 28th against starting small forwards, he's played 33 minutes in each of the last 2 games, and Houston has several guys who are questionable or are going to miss tonight. Ariza has a high ceiling that he hasn't yet hit since returning from injury, but in this very high scoring game there is a better chance to hit that ceiling tonight.

Davis Bertans, SA [vs NO] (DK: $3.9k, FD: $4.1k)

Pau Gasol is doubtful to play and Bertans will likely slide into the starting lineup. Bertans doesn't have a huge ceiling so he's more of a cash game play, or if you're looking to save some bucks to fit someone like Anthony Davis into the lineup. The Pelicans are horrible guarding near every position, they're ranked 26th versus starting power forwards allowing 33 fantasy points a game.

Centers

Andre Drummond, DET [vs MIL] (DK: $9.6k, FD: $10.3)

If you're looking to spend money at center, it looks like Drummond is going to be your guy. In 3 games versus the Bucks this season he's scored 42, 49, and 62 fantasy points against them. They've had a problem against stud centers lately, allowing Jokic to go off for 82 fantasy points a few games ago. This game doesn't have a very high point total at 206.5 total points but it does have a close 2 point spread and Detroit has lost 6 of the last 7 games and have to be getting desperate to secure a win.

DeAndre Jordan, LAC [vs HOU] (DK: $7.6k, FD: $8.4k)

DeAndre Jordan continues to be one of the Clippers most consistent guys this season. Clint Capela on the other side of the ball is questionable with an illness, so he might not be 100% tonight, making Jordan's matchup just a little bit better. This game has the highest point total of the night at 227.5 total points making players on both sides of the ball good targets tonight. Danilo Gallinari is likely going to take a seat again tonight, without him and Bradley on the court Jordan is seeing +2% usage and scoring +7FP/48 mins.

Joffrey Lauvergne, SA [vs NO] (DK: $3.4k, FD: $4.1k)

This is strictly a tournament play, as Joffrey Lauvergne should see at least 20 minutes tonight without Pau Gasol. Lauvergne went nuts against Denver scoring 46 fantasy points in 24 minutes and they'll likely need his size against Anthony Davis tonight. You can't expect him to get close to 46 fantasy points again, but he's got a higher ceiling than Bertans with a chance to touch 30 fantasy points, if they give him time on the court tonight.
