Vegas Notes
- Two blowouts are possibly looming tonight. Spurs are 14 point favorites, and the Celtics are 12 point favorites.
- Vegas has me believing Curry will sit tonight, given Golden State is just -5 against Dallas, as the spread dropped from -8.5
- Kings are the highest projected scoring team tonight. (110) Celtics are next (109)
- Phoenix, Brooklyn, and Utah all have team totals under 96.

Kenneth Faried is a mystery at times, which is why his ownership is always low on bigger slates. Another factor to Faried's risk tonight, is the face he rarely plays more than 30 minutes in a game. He is a great fantasy points per minute player, but some nights he is on, some nights he's off. A player that is off in lesser minutes carries a very low floor. Alright, enough about the risks, let's talk about why he is in play tonight. He does have 35+ fantasy point upside, and is in a good spot to do just that. Portland has allowed the 12th most fantasy points per game to opposing PF in the last ten games. Faried is averaging 14 and 8 in the last six games, shooting 54% from the field.
