5 of the 7 games on Friday's slate have a total in the 220s, and a lot of them look like they should be pretty tightly contested.

It's another hard night deciding who to build around. Luka Doncic ($11k) is the highest priced player on the slate but on a back to back. Nikola Jokic ($10.7k) is questionable with a knee injury, and Kevin Durant ($10.3k) has a 50 fp ceiling over his last three games.

Let's get out there and find some value and try to find some finishers:

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Pacers @ Nets (-8.5), O/U 223 7:30 PM ET

The Pacers have double digit losses the last two games but it's hard to predict a blowout from Brooklyn who has lost two of their last three on this home stand by a combined 29 points. James Harden is still priced at $9.6k.

Hornets @ Heat (-5), O/U 222.5 7:30 PM ET

The Hornets have the #1 scoring offense in the league (121.2) so far but have some injury issues with P.J. Washington doubtful and Terry Rozier questionable. Miami has the #1 scoring defense allowing a max of 102 points.

Kings (-1.5) @ Pelicans , O/U 221 8:00 PM ET

The Kings have won both of their road games this season (at Portland, at Phoenix) averaging 117 ppg in those two. The Pelicans defense has improved over the last three games giving up 98.7 ppg.

Clippers @ Trail Blazers (-3) , O/U 222 10:00 PM ET

Two bottom 10 teams in pace meeting up in a rematch of the Clippers 116-86 win on Monday. Damian Lillard had just 18fp in the blowout and Paul George 41 fp.

Cavaliers @ Lakers (-8), O/U 221.5 10:30 PM ET

Injuries are again the name of the game for the Lakers who lost 123-115 to the Thunder on Wednesday. Anthony Davis is probable while Lebron James, Rajon Rondo, and Wayne Ellington are questionable.
