Doesn't get much better than Sundays with NBA action throughout the day. Especially with six games on the evening slate. This is one of those nights that it will be better roster a balanced roster over a studs and duds approach. The Cleveland game could become a blowout, which is why it is hard to trust LeBron James. Also, while Anthony Davis does have a great matchup, he has struggled by averaging 42 fantasy points vs Denver this season ( hard to fathom that a guy averaging 42 fantasy points vs a team is considered struggling). Both of those players are better GPP options then cash game options.
Kyle Lowry is one of my favorite plays of the night as he has been awesome recently and gets a superb matchup vs the Blazers. The Blazers/Raptors game is the best game to target as the spread is only one-to-two points. Alexey Shved has been a revelation recently and is now a quality mid-tier option. Tony Parker has been on fire, but worried that Parker will only play 25-28 minutes because of a blowout. However, he'll have a huge night if this game stays close. Jeremy Lin is a good option as well, especially if he ends up starting for the Lakers.
DeMar DeRozan has been balling out recently and isn't that expensive. Randy Foye, Wilson Chandler, and Darrell Arthur are all out for the Nuggets tonight. That makes Will "The Thrill" Barton one of the best value options on the board tonight. Make sure to get him in your lineup. Really like Danilo Gallinari and Nicolas Batum for the reasons stated above. It will be tough for Kawhi Leonard to reach or exceed value now that his price tag has drastically increased. The rest of the small forward position is nothing special
The power forward position has a couple of great options in Paul Millsap and Kenneth Faried. Millsap produces in all categories and his price tag is relatively low, while Manimal has been in beast mode recently. Marcus Morris continues to see consistent minutes with all of the injuries to the Suns, which makes him a solid low-tier option. The center position is led by Nikola Vucevic as he has the highest ceiling at the position. Brandon Wright is a sneaky punt play at the position. Really like using Gorgui Dieng if Nikola Pekovic doesn't play. If he does play, than I don't mind switching to Omer Asik.
