Top NBA Plays Thursday Oct. 28th| The Luka or Steph Conundrum

It's a six game slate tonight with the two building blocks being Luka Doncic ($11k) and Steph Curry ($10.9). Doncic faces the Spurs with Kristaps Porzingis possibly out while Curry is up against the Grizzlies who are on the back to back.

Joel Embiid (knee) is on the injury report while Trae Young and Bradley Beal both logged huge minutes last night. Ja Morant is on the back-to-back and Julius Randle looks to be in a more defensive oriented game with Chicago (O/U 216). This one should be interesting.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Pistons @ 76ers (-10.5), O/U 212.5 7:00 PM ET

Tough target game as Detroit has lost their last two games by a combined 33 points and Joel Embiid (knee) is a GTD anyways.

Hawks (-2.5) @ Wizards, O/U 222.5 7:00 PM ET

Both Atlanta and Washington play on the second leg of a back-to-back and after wins. Trae Young (36:18) and Bradley Beal (35:15) had big minutes last night.

Knicks @ Bulls (-1.5) , O/U 216 8:00 PM ET

Homecoming game for NYK's Derrick Rose and Tom Thibodeau as Chicago is also celebrating "Joakim Noah Night" at the United Center. Two top 10 teams in defensive efficiency though.

Jazz (-9.5) @ Rockets , O/U 221.5 8:00 PM ET

Jazz get a slight pace boost vs. the Rockets but is that just speeding up the time that a potential blowout takes effect?

Spurs @ Mavs (-9.5), O/U 220 8:30 PM ET

Dallas coach Jason Kidd didn't do DFS players any favors on Tuesday by playing all 15 players.

Grizzlies @ Warriors (-6), O/U 228 10:00 PM ET

Memphis is on the back to back as they play undefeated Golden State. The Grizzlies lost 116-96 to Portland last night but did preserve some minutes while being down 26 at one point.
