With Luka Doncic ruled out tonight the obvious chalk plays are coming out of Dallas tonight with Kristaps Porzingis and Jalen Brunson leading the way. With Doncic off the floor this season Porzingis has a 28.6% usage rate while averaging 1.30 FP/Min. Brunson has a 25.8% usage rate while averaging 1.04 FP/Min. A contrarian play off those two could very well be Tim Hardaway Jr. who likely still comes off the bench but has a 27.4% usage rate while averaging 1.04 FP/Min.
With Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and Caleb Martin out of the lineup for the Heat we look at Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro and value plays like Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson in tonight's matchup against the Cavaliers.
The top spend ups for tonight's slate for me rank in this order:
Favorite game stacks tonight are from the Hornets and Raptors with Charlotte still dealing with depth issues due to Covid-19 and the Raptors facing a Kings team that has a lot of issues right now both on the floor and in the locker room. As well as the Rockets/Hawks matchup where both sides are in great spots.
With Devin Booker out of the lineup and potentially Deandre Ayton ruled out take a peak at not just Chris Paul but Jae Crowder, Cameron Johnson and JaVale McGee (IF Ayton Out).
