Catch your breath a bit as the trade deadline is over. What a day that really got going with the James Harden / Ben Simmons deal and culminated (so far) with Kirstaps Porzingis heading to the Wizards in Spencer Dinwiddie package.

There were plenty of other moves such as Dennis Schroder to the Rockets, Montrezl Harrell to the Hornets, Serge Ibaka to the Bucks, and Derrick White to the Celtics.

There are a ton of moving parts in all these trades, and the DFS slate is going to be affected immediately on tonight's 7-game slate. Let's try to wade through this.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Grizzlies (-11) @ Pistons O/U 224.5 7:00 ET

The Memphis offense continues to impress, up to #3 in the league in scoring (113.1 ppg) while putting up 120+ in their last three games. Detroit is one of the worst defensive teams in the league, so even in a blowout Grizzlies players should be able to get theirs even in limited minutes.

Nets @ Wizards (-3), O/U 218 7:30 ET

James Harden is out, Ben Simmons is in. Harden didn't make the trip to Washington anyways and the other trade chip was Paul Millsap so Brooklyn shouldn't be any more shorthanded than they would have originally been. The Nets had to try something as losers of 9 straight.

Heat (-4.5) @ Pelicans O/U 218 7:30 ET

It's CJ McCollum's debut night in New Orleans and the Pelicans have a little momentum with a four game win streak. Brandon Ingram had made three perfect lineups for N.O., but is McCollum's arrival going to help or hurt his DFS value? There's a chance Miami comes out flat here as they wrap up a 6-game road trip.

Raptors (-8.5) @ Rockets , O/U 224 8:00 ET

Toronto has won 7 in a row while the Rockets have dropped 7 of 8 which means this one could be headed towards a blowout. The Raptors are playing on the back to back, but they also rolled to a 117-98 win in Oklahoma City last night.

Clippers @ Mavericks (-6.5), O/U 215 8:30 ET

LAC continues to shapeshift their lineup, this time trading Serge Ibaka to Milwaukee with Semi Ojele and Rodney Hood coming back to L.A as part of a 4-team deal. This is looking like a Luka Doncic night for sure.

Bucks @ Suns (-3), O/U 233 10:00 ET

How much revenge does Phoenix really get if they beat the Bucks tonight? This isn't the WWE where the Larry O'Brien Trophy changes hands in a title defense, but that doesn't mean the Suns wouldn't take some solace in taking down Milwaukee, who beat them in 6 games in last year's Finals. The Bucks have scored 130+ in three straight, but are also wrapping up a 4-game West Coast swing.

Knicks @ Warriors (-9), O/U 217.5 10:00 ET

Golden State is on 0 days rest after a 111-85 loss in Utah last night but are still -9 point favorites as the Knicks are 0-3 to kick off their current West Coast road trip.
