Vegas Notes
- Another monster total game today, as Washington-Golden State sit at 224. Golden State are 10.5 point favorites, so there is blowout concern. Spurs, Clippers and the Thunder are the other three teams favored by double digits tonight. Thunder-Warriors-Wizards-Clippers-Wolves players have the highest upside of the teams involved.
- No total for Chicago-Sacramento yet, due to the lingering injury news of the Kings' players. Expect this one to have a high total regardless, but let's hope the Kings are healthy to keep it close.
- Utah-Denver has a low 195 total, but Utah has a 101 team total. They are a fine option to target tonight, as well as Boston-Detroit, and Indiana-Brooklyn. Both games post sizable totals, and competitive spreads.

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

Russell Westbrook is your most expensive point guard tonight, as he should be. He is a walking triple-double, with seven on the season, only second to Draymond Green. The blowout concern is there in OKC tonight, but Westbrook hardly gets burned by it. He posted a triple-double in 27 minutes against Minnesota, and 57 DK points in 27 against Charlotte recently. When you see a big juicy 112 total, you just know Durant and Westbrook will get theirs. If Orlando keeps it close like they did last time forcing overtime, watch out. They will have you closing your tabs early if you have zero shares. He is averaging 24-10-11 in the last five games, shooting 50% from the field. Orlando ranks 14th in fantasy points allowed per game to opposing point guards, so it is an average matchup for Westy.
Klay Thompson (SG), Warriors |
