Vegas Notes
- Just a 4 game slate after the huge split slates we saw yesterday for MLK day. Thunder-Nuggets lead the way with a 213.5 point total, and the Thunder listed as 8.5-point favorites on the road.
- Bucks-Heat (192.5, -5) is home to the lowest total on the slate.
- Both Wolves-Pelicans (203, -5), and Pacers-Suns (209, +7) have solid total and reasonable spreads (although the Suns line seems low to me...but that's another story).
GPP Picks

Opponent | Minutes | Fantasy Points Per Minute | Defensive Efficiency Rating | Usage Rate | Opposing Fantasy Points Allowed | Vegas Team Total | Projection |

Salary: FD (SG): $7,800 DK (SF): $7,000
The Bucks have the lowest team total on the board, and on a small slate like this one, targeting a player or two here is certainly a contrarian move. The "Greek Freak" has posted 4 consecutive double-doubles, and has averaged nearly 49 DK points per game over that span. Keep in mind that one of those games went into OT, and he played 50 minutes, but the point still remains. He is emerging as an elite weapon, and will be relied on heavily if the Bucks are going to take down the Heat tonight.
