Sup FANation, tonight we have a five game main slate that is very top heavy with star power. Let's get to it!
Point Guard
Russell Westbrook , WAS - Listen, there is no reason to be running away from Westbrook tonight against the Pistons. The back-to-back does not scare me here and he proved that even with Beal active he can give us the elite upside we need after dropping 36 points with 15 rebounds and nine assists last night. The Pistons are getting Cory Joseph back who is a decent defender but that's nothing I am being worried about here. Lock and load Westbrook in this matchup.
Shooting Guard
Lonnie Walker , SA - DeMar DeRozan and Patty Mills have both been ruled out for tonight's matchup. We should see Walker potentially enter the starting lineup if not see an increased role in the Spurs rotation. He is min-price on FanDuel and just $3,500 on DraftKings. This is looking like a "Stars & Scrubs" type of night and getting a low priced player will go a long way to getting that build in.
Small Forward
Kyle Anderson , MEM - So, Anderson is a SF on FanDuel and a PF on DraftKings, he fits in my builds either way tonight. With Clarke and Winslow doubtful to play we should continue to see Anderson play a big role in the forward rotation and in the starting lineup. He is a jack of all trades when it comes to the stat sheet as evidenced by last night's 38 FP performance where he scored just six points but with 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal. Look for him to fill the stat sheet up once again tonight against the Bucks.
Power Forward
Jayson Tatum , BOS - Battle of the Subway Subs, OK, maybe you haven't seen the new Jayson Tatum & Draymond Green Subway commercials, anyway, we may not see Jaylen Brown in tonight's matchup and I am sure Tatum is looking to bounce back from his down performance against the Lakers. We got a national television game tonight and a Curry vs Tatum showdown feels like it is in the cards tonight. Prior to his off-night against the Lakers we saw Tatum averaging nearly 30 points and 10 rebounds over the prior four games.
Center
Nikola Vucevic , CHI - No Zach LaVine so we should expect the continued high usage from Vucevic in tonight's elite matchup against the Cavaliers. We love going at Jarrett Allen who is a shot blocker but not a great defender. Vucevic went for 24 points, 14 rebounds and six assists last night. He has double-doubles in three straight games. If spending up at center tonight this is going to be the spot to look. If you need a value center play you should start Triston Thompson as the Celtics will be without Robert Williams for tonight's contest.
