It's an early start today as Brooklyn and Orlando tip-off at 1:00 PM ET. These first games of the day weren't on the main slate last week but we'll take as many options as we can get. That makes today a 7-gamer, so let's see what we've got.

Guards

Bogdan Bogdanovic DK $5.5k | FD $5.6k

There's great value on Bogdan Bogdanovic at under $6k today, as the Kings are playing without De'Aaron Fox and Richaun Holmes. Bogdanovic gets a pace boost vs. the Pelicans' #2 unit in possessions per game. The Kings SG already has a 35 real point game vs. New Orleans on August 6th which gave him 50 fp.

George Hill DK $3.9k | FD $3.9k

It's interesting to see how Milwaukee approaches their matchup with Washington tonight. The Bucks have clinched the East and come in on the back-to-back after a loss to the Raptors last night. Those details should bode well for George Hill, especially against the Wizards #29 ranked scoring defense.

Hill played just under 20 minutes vs. Toronto and should be fresh. He had 11 shots over that span, which is nice, and had a 7 rebound game Saturday vs. the Mavs.

Dillon Brooks DK $5.4k | FD $5.7k

Dillon Brooks at $5.4k coming off a game in which he launched 26 shots? Yes, please. Brooks has a tough matchup vs. the Boston defense tonight, but he also put up 42fp Sunday vs. a good Raptors squad. Brooks has 17+ shots in each of the last three games and Memphis is going to be ratcheted down with just a 0.5 game lead for the 8 seed over Portland, but also have Phoenix and San Antonio within one.

Forwards

PJ Tucker $4.1k | FD $3.8k

At the very least, PJ Tucker is going to be on the floor. He has at least 33 minutes in all five games in the bubble. That doesn't necessarily mean production, as his ceiling has been 26fp, but it's a favorable matchup with a Spurs team down to just Jakob Poeltl in the middle.

James Harden is out (rest) for Houston and Danuel House (toe) could sit as well. That's two less options for the Rockets to run their offense through.

Tim Hardaway, Jr. $5.7k | FD $5.8k

Tim Hardaway probably isn't going to shoot 11-15 tonight like he did last night vs. the Jazz. He should still be able to get another 15+ shots though, with Kristaps Porzingis, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Luka Doncic all questionable to play. Hardaway logged 34 minutes against Utah, but if the Mavs are shorthanded there aren't a whole lot of other options. It's also a favorable matchup vs. a Portland team that is 29th defensively vs. the SF position in the bubble.

Rudy Gay DK $5.8k | FD $5.7k

You gotta like Rudy Gay up against a Rockets team that is top 5 in pace. The veteran has been going strong with 34+ fp in each of his last three games. San Antonio is holding out hope of at least getting into the 'play-in' game, as they sit just a game back from Memphis for the 8 seed but with Portland and Phoenix also both in the mix.

Center

Al Horford DK $6.3k | FD $6.2k

The first thing to note is that Al Horford is a GTD tonight with a sore ankle. If he does go though, it's a great spot with Joel Embiid missing the meeting with Phoenix due to an ankle injury. Horford gets a +16.87 fp boost with Embiid and Simmons out of the lineup. The Sixers big man has also gone for 32+fp the last two games while averaging 11.5 field goal attempts.
