Klay Thompson takes the court for the second time tonight, taking 18 shots in 19 minutes on Sunday. While the Splash Bros. are reunited, it may be another brother connection that really makes this slate interesting.

Nikola Jokic had a 20-20 double double against the Clippers in December but there was one key component missing - Marcus Morris. If you remember Jokic was ejected earlier in the season following a shove to Morris' twin brother Markieff - who hasn't played since after suffering whiplash. What has ensued is a Twitter war between both families so there's a really good chance Jokic or Morris get tossed early in this contest.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Thunder @ Wizards (-9) , O/U 214.5 7:00 ET

The Thunder pace has been brutal lately with four of their last five games having both them and their opponent under 100 points. That's somewhat unfortunate considering Washington has struggled vs. SGs and SFs lately which would give some value to Josh Giddey ($6.9k) and maybe even Lu Dort ($5.2).

Suns (-4) @ Raptors, O/U 223 7:30 ET

Toronto has won 6 of their last 7 home games and oddsmakers are expecting a nice close game tonight. The Suns lost by 23 at home to the Heat on Saturday even while getting their bigs Deandre Ayton and JaVale McGee back in the lineup.

Warriors (-2) @ Grizzlies, O/U 221 8:00 ET

Klay Thompson went for 17 points in his return to the court on Sunday and launched 18 shots in 20 minutes. Thompson is still only $6k and one would think the minutes rise a bit each game. The hype over Thompson has the Grizzlies 9-game win streak flying under the radar.

Timberwolves (-3.5) @ Pelicans, O/U 226.5 8:00 ET

The Pelicans get the best pace boost of the night and Minnesota is running it right now with 141 points on Sunday in a win over the Rockets. That followed a 135-105 win over the Thunder on Friday and it's been powered by two straight PL's from D'Angelo Russell ($8k).

Pistons @ Bulls (-13.5), O/U 219.5 8:00 ET

Detroit pulled off a shocker last night in a 126-116 win over the Jazz with Cade Cunningham and Saddiq Bey both having 29 real points. The Pistons also allowed 21/14 to Hassan Whiteside in the paint so it could be a big night for the Bulls interior.

Nuggets (-3) @ Clippers O/U 213.5 10:30 ET

Nikola Jokic ($12k) had a 20/20 double-double vs. the Clippers the day after Christmas (74fp) but he's got to watch himself tonight. Marcus Morris didn't play in that last matchup but he may be out to get Jokic tonight after the Denver big man's hard foul on his brother Markieff earlier in the season.

Tonight's Point Guard / Shooting Guard Notables

Fred VanVleet DK $9.6k FD $9.7k vs. Phoenix

Patrick Beverley DK $5.3k | FD $6.8k @ New Orleans

• Probable to play after two games off, still no way on the DK pricing

• Had 6X in four straight games prior to missing the last two with a groin injury

• Opposing PGs have 40+ in 4 of 5 vs. Pelicans

Monte Morris DK $4.7k | FD $4.9k @ Clippers

• Would get a usage boost if Nikola Jokic were to get in foul trouble or ejected with the Marcus Morris possible beef

• Matchup play as PGs have scored 38+ fp in 4 of last 5 vs. Clippers

Tonight's SF / PF Notables

Kyle Kuzma DK $8.4k | FD $8.8k vs. Oklahoma City

• On a tear with four PL's in the last six games

• 22 rebounds Sunday against Orlando

• OKC second worst rebounding team in the league

Jaren Jackson, Jr. DK $7.1k | FD $7k vs. Golden State

• 26/8 and 21/12 last two games with Steven Adams out (55fppg)

• Adams (likely) remains out with a knee injury

Jarred Vanderbilt DK $6.2k | FD $6.3k @ New Orleans

• Hassan Whiteside had 21/14 vs. Pistons last night

Kevon Looney DK $4.8k | FD $5.3k @ Memphis

• Had a huge 18 rebound performance Sunday against Cleveland, is that because Klay Thompson's presence spreads people out of the paint?

• 29 minutes Sunday with Draymond Green playing just 0:07 as well
