Vegas Notes
- Warriors, Hornets, Magic, Cavs, and Thunder have the top five team totals on the slate.
- Warriors are 13 point favorites, while the Hornets are 11.5. There is some blowout concern in both.
- There is sneaky upside in almost every game tonight, and plenty of value in the Orlando-Brooklyn game.

With LeBron James resting tonight, this puts a big workload on Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, who are both going to popular, yet well deserved GPP plays regardless of being the chalk. Love has a 29% usage rate without James this season, which is up 6% from when he has played. Houston ranks 29th in efficiency against power forwards, and have allowed the most fantasy points per game. With Love's usage taking a tick upwards, and this matchup, the upside is there for GPP's, which is something that isn't there too often when James is in the lineup. Love will be popular, but it is very tough to fade him at these prices.
