The NBA season is in its final month and teams are starting to deal with injury woes while also looking forward to the postseason. We've got the Clips', Nets, and Raptors really missing some guys tonight while Orlando, OKC, and Houston don't even really have players to rest.

It's a huge 11-gamer not even counting the early Bucks @ Timberwolves game, so let's see who makes it through tonight's battles.

Today's NBA Matchups

Cavs @ Hornets (-3.5), O/U 212.5, 7:00 PM ET

Cleveland is back on the road, where they won 2 of 3 last week. The Cavs have also had the last 2 nights off up against a Hornets team that lost by 8 to the Lakers last night without Terry Rozier (probable) and PJ Washington (out).

Nets @ Sixers (-7), O/U 226.5, 7:00 PM ET

Brooklyn is on the back to back in name only after a 30 point win over Minnesota last night in which Kevin Durant had 31 points in 27 minutes. Durant (injury management) is out tonight, but Kyrie Irving is expected to be available after taking Tuesday off.

Spurs (-5.5) @ Raptors, O/U 221.5, 7:30 PM ET

It looked like San Antonio had called it a season after a 5-game losing streak, but they've bounced back with two straight wins to come within a game of the 8 seed in the West. Toronto is very banged up tonight (and on the b2b), so the Spurs have a great shot at three straight.

Clippers (-8) @ Pistons, O/U 219.5, 8:00 PM ET

Paul George came through with 36 real points last night vs. Indiana, but he's sitting on the back to back (as is Kawhi Leonard). It's Marcus Morris that gets the biggest boost with those two out (+10% usage, +28.97 fp) and he had 33 real points (45fp) vs. the Pistons on Sunday even with George in the lineup. 👀👀

Magic @ Bulls (-9.5), O/U 214, 8:00 PM ET

It's Nikola Vucevic 🗡️Revenge Night🗡️ vs. his old team Orlando but the Magic actually did him a favor by trading him in a rebuild (or build). It's also a more underrated Wendell Carter, Jr. 🗡️Revenge Night🗡️, as the Bulls seemingly gave up on the 2018 #7 draft pick.

Knicks @ Pelicans (-2.5), O/U 219.5, 8:00 PM ET

The Knicks have rattled off three straight, and opponents are kind of an🚫Anti Target 🎯 after holding 9 of the last 11 opponents to 102 points or less. This could also be Zion Williamson's ($9.9k) last game under $10k for a while if he indeed does post another 50+ fp game vs. this defense.

Warriors (-11) @ Thunder, O/U 223.5, 8:00 PM ET

Steph Curry became Golden State's all-time leading scorer last time out, and did it in a big way with a 10-18 from three, and 15-16 from the FT line en route to a nice 69fp outing vs. the Nuggets. Curry has hit 50+ fp in five straight, but does that come to an end in a possible 🕯️Blowout Game🕯️ against a Thunder squad that is on the b2b and has lost 10 of their last 11?

Pacers (-4.5) @ Rockets, O/U 234, 9:00 PM ET

Domantas Sabonis (ankle) and Myles Turner (ankle) could both be on the shelf tonight, especially as the Pacers play a b2b after an 11-point loss to the Clippers last night. Rockets front court target night?

Mavericks (-2.5) @ Grizzlies, O/U 225.5, 9:30 PM ET

Dallas has dropped 3 of 4 and in ugly fashion, losing by 18 to the Sixers on Monday (albeit on a b2b) and falling to the Rockets over that span. That should make Memphis a decent target at home, and the Griz have put up 120+ in 5 of their last 7.

Heat @ Nuggets (-5.5), O/U 210.5, 10:00 PM ET

Denver begins life without Jamal Murray tonight, as he is lost for the year with a torn ACL. That makes it Facundo Campazzo SZN, but it's also a 6.62% usage and 4.36 fp boost for Nikola Jokic. Right off the bat the Nuggets get a Miami team that lost by 20 to the Suns last night.

Wizards (-2) @ Kings, O/U 241.5, 10:00 PM ET

Great target game with a betting total north of 240. With Washington beating Utah on Monday and still just a -2 point favorite, it's looking like a Kings win here. De'Aaron Fox ($9.6k) is approaching $10k, but he's also been in the perfect lineup in 7 of the last 11.

Tonight's Point Guard / Shooting Guard Notables

Russell Westbrook DK $11k | FD $11.2k

@ Sacramento

Don't let the $11k+ salary scare you, because Russ seems like he'll be scoring for two tonight vs. the Kings. Brodie just put up 25/14/14 vs. a top 5 Jazz defense for his 5th straight triple double. 6X is almost a minimum vs. the Kings #30 defense even with Bradley Beal launching 30+ times.

Malachi Flynn DK $5.5k | FD $5.3k

vs. San Antonio

Loving a lot of Raptors players tonight and big props to LineStar chat user @eeproject for dubbing this guy "Flynnsanity." The 22-year-old is on a back-to-back, but also making the most of his extended opportunity with so many key Toronto players down for the count. Flynn has three 40+ doggers in his last six games, and that's the floor tonight with 30+ minutes.

Elfrid Payton DK $4k | FD $4.3k

@ New Orleans

This is a very underrated spot for Elfrid Payton up against a Pelicans squad that is bleeding against the PG spot. 39fp is the minimum for the last four PGs not named Matthew Dellavedova vs. New Orleans. Payton has three straight double-digit scoring games and is almost a lock to make it four. (some assist, steals, and rebounds would also be welcomed).

Tonight's SF / PF Notables

Pascal Siakam DK $8.5k | FD $8.6

vs. San Antonio

Let Pascal Siakam being on the back to back push other ownership away, because he actually loves these spots where he gets to be the main man. No Trent, no Lowry, no VanVleet, and no Bembry gives Siakam a +13.23 fp bump in a very winnable game against the Spurs. Siakam went for 27 & 7 in 40 minutes in his last back to back so sign up.

DeMar DeRozan DK $7.9k | FD $7.9k

@Toronto

The game doesn't get the true 🏠Homecoming🏠 feel for DeMar DeRozan since Toronto's home this year is in Tampa, FL but he's in play nonetheless. 44fp is the floor in four of five games for DeRozan against his old 'mates, including 27/5/8 (50fp) back in December. The Spurs are making a run, and it's DeRozan being in the perfect lineup in 5 of 7 that is fueling it (Toronto is also on the b2b).

Marcus Morris, Sr. DK $5.5k | FD $5.6k

@ Detroit

Marcus Morris, Sr. gets the best boost of all Clippers players with George and Leonard out, and it doesn't hurt he plays a Pistons team with whom he spent 2015-2017 with. The Clips' forward just roasted Detroit for 33 real points on Sunday, and followed that up with 37fp, but in less than 30 minutes last night vs. the Pacers.

Tonight's Center Position Notables

Nikola Jokic DK $10.6k | FD $10.9k

vs. Miami

I think you have to get in here on Nikola Jokic in the first game since Jamal Murray's injury. Murray has missed plenty of time lately, but there's a finality of being lost for the year and Denver in a postseason push. Jokic made the perfect lineup in 3 of 4 games that Murray missed from April 6th to the 11th, so bring on the Heat after they allowed 19 & 13 in 26 minutes to Deandre Ayton last night.

Jonas Valanciunas DK $7.6k | FD $8.1k

vs. Dallas

You have to at least until that DK price reaches $8k, right? J-Val has been in the perfect lineup in 7 of the last 9, and has posted a 20+ point, 14+ rebound double-double in his last three. He's set to rough up Porzingis and a Dallas team that is 19th in rebounding in this spot.

Chris Boucher DK $7.1k | FD $8k

vs. San Antonio

One of the more frustrating things in NBA DFS this year aside from having to roster Royce O'Neale has been missing out on a Chris Boucher game. The Raptors big man had 45 vs. the Knicks and also 70fp in a somewhat predictable game vs. the Bulls last week. That's exactly the spot we're in up against Jakob Poeltl and the Spurs while Toronto plays without Trent, Lowry, and VanVleet among others.
