Vegas Notes

- Just 4 games on tap for this Tuesday, which is pretty much par for the course as far as this season has gone. We are still awaiting a line and total for Warriors-Lakers, and perhaps Vegas is waiting to see if Kobe Bryant will play before they drop the enormous spread.

- There are two games with 8-point spreads: Knicks-Hawks (203.5, -8), and Bucks-Bulls (200.5, -8).

- The other game on the slate is Kings-Mavericks, which is home to the highest total (at the moment) and closest spread (214, -5).

- Note: All of the Warriors big names (Curry, Thompson, Green) are in play, but due to the potential blowout, they are GPP-only plays for me, and I'm looking to highlight less-obvious options. Fire them up in your GPPs as well, as any of them could reach value in just 3 quarters of action.

Run-DMC finally broke out last night with a huge 64.3 point DK game against the Thunder. His usage rate is among the highest in the NBA, and tonight he'll face off against the aging Zaza Pachulia down low in a game with the highest total and closest spread. Boogie has now reached at least 40 DK points in 11 of his last 12 contests (the only blip on the radar being 19 against GS when he was ejected after just 12 minutes). If he can keep his head on straight, I expect him to dominate once again. With the Warriors in a likely blowout, he is easily the safest superstar on the board, and has monster upside.
