We have four games today, but split between the afternoon and evening.  FanDuel has broken up today into two, two game slate, while DraftKings went the all day route.  Below is a quick breakdown with example lineups.  All lineups are gpp based.  Good luck!


Afternoon Games:

Sacramento @ Toronto  -13  T: 204.5    Orlando @ Detroit  -10 T: 203.5

The two afternoon games have the two lowest projected game totals, with two double digit home favorites.  The Kings lost to the Raptors 102-87 at home earlier this season, and now head to Toronto where the Raptors are 10-1 at home this year.  Zach Randolph and De’Aaron Fox are both out for the Kings, while the Raptors sat their starters for pretty much all of the fourth quarter in their last game.  The second game features a slumping Magic team vs a Pistons team that is starting to bounce back with a nice two game win streak.  Aaron Gordon has been ruled out tonight,  which pretty much leaves you with limited options at the PF spot this afternoon on FD.  UPDATE:  Serge Ibaka is now out at PF, placing

 

You’re going to end up leaving salary on the table if playing the FD early slate today.  I’m not really a fan of anyone on the Kings now, but picking the right guard from their cheap options could be key for a gpp.  WCS would be in play, but with only two games for FD, you’re going to have to go Drummond or Vucevic on the center spot.  Out of the two, I prefer Vuc.  On the guard end, I prefer DeRozan over Lowry, but feel like you could roster both of them.

 

Going with the idea of two blowouts means targeting the reserves from this game.  D.J. Augustine, Ish Smith, Reggie Bullock, and Mario Hezonja would be my preferred options.

 

Evening Games:  

Indiana -3.5 @ Brooklyn  T: 218.5     Cleveland @ Washington -2  T: 214

 

The main slate for DK today includes all four games, which means tread lightly with questionable players.  Washington is currently favored now in this game, which may mean we could see some rest besides Dwayne Wade, who has been ruled out already.  LebRon James is the top overall play today coming off a huge triple double last night, and he already scored 57 actual points vs the Wizards earlier this year.  With Wade out, Jeff Green, Kyle Korver, and J.R. Smith all receive bumps, and prefer Green out of this group.  I don’t mind Kevin Love, but prefer Turner in the center spot tonight.  On Washington’s side, Otto Porter is questionable, placing Kelly Oubre Jr in play.  I prefer Bradley Beal over John Wall, but both are in play, as well as Scott.

 

The Pacers beat the Nets 140-131 to open the season this year, but the Nets have a much different team now.  Nik Stauskas and Okafor both made their debuts last game while Carroll and Crabbe sta.  Both were not listed on the injury report, but something to monitor.  I’m not really a fan of the Nets tonight outside of a cheap Stauskas, but they are all low owned gpp options tonight.

 

Thad Young is questionable tonight, and may get a rest day.  If that’s the case Sabonis receives a nice bump.  Since paying up for LeBron will cost you, I’ll be off of Victor Oladipo, but like Myles Turner tonight.  He’s cheap on DK, but you can still take him over Love on the short FD slate as well.   Lance Stephenson is a nice value option that has been solid in production and minutes.
