Nice night in the NBA with six games on the slate. Russell Westbrook is playing, so he is the number one option tonight. However, I'll be avoiding him in cash game lineups because the point guard position is really strong tonight with Damian Lillard and Reggie Jackson. The Blazers are likely going to be without Nicolas Batum and LaMarcus Aldridge, so Lillard is going to get plenty of shots and will rack up assists as well, which why he is my favorite option at the position. Reggie Jackson has been balling out recently by averaging 18 points, 6.3 rebounds and a ridiculous 13 assists per game in the four games Greg Monroe has missed. Monroe is not playing tonight. Jeremy Lin is a great low-tier option because he has played well vs the Thunder this season and will be starting for the Lakers. 

The shooting guard position has a lot of stud players at the top of the position in DeMar DeRozan, Dwyane Wade, and Monta Ellis. Ellis is the best value option at the position as he'll get plenty of field goal attempts, contributes in steals and assists, and doesn't cost that much. DeMar DeRozan is a good option no matter what, but he becomes the best overall option at the position if Kyle Lowry doesn't play. Danny Green is a good mid-tier option, especially if Manu Ginobili ends up not playing. Anthony Morrow is a decent punt play.

The small forward position was brutal last night and the same thing could be said about tonight. While I do like Kawhi Leonard, there are some great value options at the position in Dorell Wright, Robert Covington, and Harrison Barnes. Wright is the best value play tonight and will be in most of my lineups, Covington is a great option as well since he is starting for the Sixers and torched the Kings for 40 fantasy points on DraftKings last time these two teams faced off.

The power forward position is led by Tim Duncan, who should have no problem exceeding value tonight. Nerlens Noel is a good option on Fanduel and Aces, but his price tag is too high on DraftKings. Ersan Ilyasova continues to be a quality mid-tier option. Jerami Grant is a great punt play as he produced 28 fantasy points last time these two teams met. The center position is loaded tonight as DeMarcus Cousins is going to have another big night vs the Sixers, Enes Kanter is one of the most reliable options at the position and still has a reasonable price tag, and Tiago Splitter continues to be well under priced despite his recent uptick in production. Kanter is the best option for cash games.
