Vegas Notes
- Big slate tonight, and there are a few blowout concerns. Warriors are favored by 13.5 points. Spurs are favored by 15 points, Hornets favored by 13 points, Jazz favored by 10.5 points, Heat favored by 9.5 points, and Cavs favored by 8.5. I can't see a team to completely fade here tonight, outside of the Heat. They play a slow paced game, and if starter's see less minutes than usual, the production will be limited.
- Surprise, surprise, Golden State is your highest projected team total tonight, sitting at 116. Spurs, Cavs, Hornets, and Magic are your next highest totals.
- 76ers, Wolves, and Nets all have very low totals, sitting under 93.

This is going to be a chalky play tonight, but I really don't care. Nikola Vucevic is a great play in all formats tonight, taking on the New Orleans Pelicans. They rank 25th in rebound differential, and have allowed the 3rd most fantasy points per game to opposing centers. Vuc is primed for another big game, averaging 23-3-9 in the last five. He is shooting 57% from the field in that span as well. Magic have a nice 104 team total to target tonight, against one of the worst defenses in the league. Vuc has also played 34 or more minutes in the last five games, as Scott Skiles is actually giving him consistent minutes.
