Vegas Notes
- Every game has a 200+ total, and when Spurs-Kings comes out, it will likely be as well. Heat-Warriors, Thunder-Mavs, Raptors-Wolves, and Clippers-Nuggets all have totals over 210. Bulls-Wizards and Pistons-76ers are sitting right at 210. Great games to target.
- Blowout concerns are everywhere. Raptors 9.5 point favorites, Clippers 10.5 favorites, Pistons 11 point favorites, and a few games that are 8 point spreads which could go either way.
- Toronto and Detroit might be glossed over tonight, but as far as team totals go, they are above OKC, and tied with Warriors and the Clippers.
- If you are banking on games staying close, I like pairing up plays from the other side. For example - if you were hoping Brooklyn kept things close for you Lillard play, pairing the opposing team's best player to keep it close helps the upside, like Brook Lopez.

Kyle Lowry always draws my attention for a low-owned play on a big slate, although coming off a triple-double, maybe not tonight. Either way on a slate that features Westbrook, Curry, Wall, and Paul, Lowry should be overlooked. Lowry is a bit cheaper than those names, yet packs big upside. He is averaging 21-5-6 in the last ten games, and is notching nearly two steals a game. Minnesota has allowed the fourth most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season, and Toronto has one of the highest team totals on the night. You know the usage comes from the backcourt in the north, so I am expecting big production out of him and DeMar DeRozen.
