Top NBA Plays Wednesday Oct. 27th| Everybody on Memphis @ Portland?

We've got a big 10-game slate for NBA DFS Wednesday headlined by the Portland at Memphis matchup that everybody seems to be targeting. As William Shake(and bake)speare once wrote "to fade or not to fade" because although it's a big slate, six of the games also have a betting total of 220 or less.

Giannis Antetokounmpo ($10.8k) and Kevin Durant ($10.5) headline tonight as the price still doesn't drop for James Harden ($10k) who has been held under 40fp the last two games. Let's see what we've got.

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Hornets (-5.5) @ Magic, O/U 220 7:00 PM ET

The spread doesn't indicate the blowout game by Charlotte you might expect and the Hornets are a target with Terry Rozier (ankle) and PJ Washington (knee) out.

Wizards @ Celtics (-4), O/U 224 7:30 PM ET

An interesting matchup with the Celtics starting off the season as the worst defense vs. position against shooting guards (Bradley Beal), but Washington also getting owned in the post with their small ball lineup (Al Horford, Robert Williams).

Pacers (-1) @ Raptors , O/U 215 7:30 PM ET

The betting total is the lowest of the night but could this be a sneaky target game just because it's expected to be so close? Caris LeVert (back) has returned to practice and is "ready to go" so watch that Malcolm Brogdon and Domantas Sabonis exposure.

Kings @ Bucks (-6.5) , O/U 230.5 8:00 PM ET

Nice betting total and a matchup of two top 15 teams in pace and bottom 7 in possessions per game. Milwaukee still dealing with the injuries to Jrue Holiday, Brook Lopez, and Donte DiVincenzo but Bobby Portis has been upgraded to probable.

Lakers (-6) @ Thunder, O/U 217 8:00 PM ET

The betting total is not ideal but possibly some value with both teams playing on the back to back. The Lakers needed OT to get a 125-121 win over the Spurs as Lebron James sat (questionable - ankle). Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has had a couple of good games in a row (52, 41 fp) but logged 36 minutes last night vs. Golden State.
