Vegas Notes

- Golden State dominated again last night, and once again they come in as double-digit favorites. Last night the Nuggets were able to keep things just close enough to keep the starters racking up points. Without DeMarcus Cousins, I am not sure the Kings can do the same. They are GPP plays for sure, so add Steph Curry, and Draymond Green to the list here.

- Clippers-Rockets is the juicy total tonight, with a 218 total. This is the game to grab pieces from, especially on the L.A. side.

- Grizzles-Jazz have a 179 total. Yuck, this game could be in the 80's on both sides.

- Bulls-Timberwolves, Spurs-Hornets, and Magic-76ers have low unattractive totals, but have favorable matchups. I am not shying away from these games tonight.

With Anthony Davis going off last night, and the upside he carries regularly, Blake Griffin is a top priced pivot play. Griffin has big time upside tonight, and averaged 21-5-11 against Houston last season. This is no shocker, as Houston struggled against PF last season, and that is the case this year. They rank in the bottom ten in fantasy points allowed to opposing PF. Griffin is averaging 28 points a game this season, shooting 58% from the field. Look for him to dominate the Houston front court, especially with all the injuries on the Houston side.

Love the Okafor pick for GPPs. Demond is fould prone and Okafor should easily take advantage.
