Only five games on the NBA schedule, but that doesn't mean you should stop playing daily fantasy hoops. Russell Westbrook is playing tonight, so he'll be heavily owned tonight, but I'd rather roster Stephen Curry because his price tag is a lot lower, yet he can produce similar numbers as Westbrook.
Besides Curry, the point guard position is led by Dennis Schroder, who is going to start for the Hawks with Jeff Teague out. Ty Lawson is another great option as he has had some of his biggest games this season against the Blazers. The shooting guard position has a couple of great value options in Kent Bazemore and Dion Waiters. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a quality top-tier option. Jimmy Butler hasn't reached value since returning from an injury and the Bulls are going to blow out the Knicks, which means less minutes for the starters.
Gordon Hayward is going to have a big game as the Thunder can't guard small forwards. His usage rate soars whenever Derrick Favors is out. Gerald Henderson is a great mid-tier because his minutes are going to increase with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist out. Cleanthony Early is a sensational value option as long as Tim Hardaway Jr. doesn't play.
The power forward position was looking pretty good until the Hawks announced that Paul Millsap is not going to play. Hard to see guys like Elton Brand or Mike Muscala doing much tonight. Ersan Ilyasova is the best option at the postion as he has produced at least 44 fantasy points in three out of the past four games and doesn't cost that much. LaMarcus Aldridge is going to have his way with the Nuggets front court. Just make sure he plays.
The center position has a couple of great options in Enes Kanter, Al Jefferson, and Zaza Pachulia. Kanter is going to have a chip on his shoulder as he gets to face off vs his former team and been very consistent recently. Al Jefferson has an superb matchup and doesn't cost that much on Draftkings. Rudy Gobert is a good option on Fantasy Aces, but his price tag is too high for my liking on Fanduel/DraftKings.
