Top NBA Plays Thursday December 30th| Winding Down
We've got some day basketball tomorrow with the Suns and Celtics squaring off at 1:00 PM and the Bulls and Pacers meeting up at 3:00 PM ET. Before that, there's a 4-game slate to sift through as we welcome back Kevin Durant, say goodbye to Ricky Rubio, and just guess on a whole slew of other players like Bradley Beal, Monte Morris, and Jordan Poole.
Tonight's Key NBA Matchups
Sixers @ Nets (-5) , O/U 222 7:00 ET
Anybody still riding with James Harden (76, 78 fp last two ) with Kevin Durant returning tonight? Lamarcus Aldridge is also back which may help keep Joel Embiid from his 5th 60+ fp game in the last four.
Kevin Durant and James Harden play together for the first time in 20 days tonight🔥

Bucks (-14) @ Magic, O/U 217.5 7:00 ET
Milwaukee plays their second straight game against Orlando after Tuesday's 127-110 win. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 46fp while playing 30 minutes in that blowout so it looks like a hard play at $11.6k.
Cavs @ Wizards (-3.5), O/U 211 7:00 ET
The rotating lineup continues for Cleveland, who lost Ricky Rubio to what could be a season ending injury on Tuesday night as he was in the starting lineup for Darius Garland (illness). The Cavs' lineup is a mess, but hey - so is Washington's.
Warriors (-5.5) @ Nuggets , O/U 213.5 9:30 ET
Golden State is favored tonight at Ball Arena despite just losing to the Nuggets 89-86 on Tuesday. Nikola Jokic (22/19/5) dominated the Draymond Green - less Warriors for his third straight 60+ point game.
Tonight's Point Guard / Shooting Guard Notables
Spencer Dinwiddie DK $7.1k FD $6.3k vs. Cleveland
Perfect lineup in two of three games without Bradley Beal
Stat compiler with 21/12/7, 17/3/6, and 24/7/11 last three games
Cavs down to 4th string at PG spot
Seth Curry DK $6k | FD $6.5k @ Brooklyn
Sixers get best pace boost of the night
Curry has 29 and 23 real points in two meetings with the Nets this year
Kevin Pangos DK $3.8k | FD $3.9k @Washington
Punt play stepping into the starting lineup with Sexton and Rubio out
Had 6 assists in 16 minutes on December 26th vs. Toronto
Wizards have allowed 30+ fp to four of past five PG starters
@MZavagno11 This is the biggest opportunity of Kevin Pangos’s career. 28 year old rookie and all-euro first team 2021 after playing 6 years for 4 different euro teams.

Tonight's SF / PF Notables
Tobias Harris DK $8.8k | FD $7.4 @ Brooklyn
Coming off a triple-double in which he shot just 3-12 (58fp)
29fp vs. Brooklyn two weeks ago was on 3-17 shooting
Nets have allowed 33+ fp to 4 of past 5 PFs,
Franz Wagner DK $7k | FD $7.1k vs Milwaukee
Same spread, opponent, and location as Tuesday's 56fp perfect lineup
Went for 38 real points vs. Bucks on Tuesday
Orlando still with 14 players on injury report; 32+ minutes in four straight
Franz Wagner has been very good… he can still improve so much, especially around the rim: orlandomagicdaily.com/2021/12/25/orl…

Corey Kispert DK $4k | FD $3.4k vs Cleveland
Nice minutes lately, 32, 35, and 39 last three
Took 14 shots on Tuesday
Need Beal and KCP to continue sitting
Seems like Corey Kispert might be adjusting to NBA contests and returning to form as an elite shooter.
46.4% from 3 over his last 7 games:

Tonight's Center Position Notables
Nikola Jokic DK $11.9k | FD $11.7k vs. Golden State
Antetokounmpo is in a blowout, Harden and Durant are going to kill each other's value, and Curry only had 34fp vs. Denver on Tuesday
Jokic is one rebound shy of three straight 20+ point / 20 rebound games
60+ fp in 9 of last 11 games
60fp vs. Golden State on Tuesday came on the road and with the Nuggets scoring just 29 second half points.
Kevin Love DK $6.7k | FD $7k @ Washington
One more Kevin Love day before Jarrett Allen gets back?
Had 39fp on Tuesday even with just 4 rebounds
Washington has allowed 13+ rebounds to 3 of past 4 centers
