Seven game slate tonight, which is the perfect size, in my opinion. I have some tournament difference makers, as well as one player to lock into all formats tonight. Be sure to check out our minutes tool, and Colossus lineup optimizer.
Projections show DraftKings fantasy points.
Vegas Notes
- I do not see a true blowout concern tonight, outside of possibly the Warriors against the Pistons. Detroit is on the second night of a back-to-back, which could be troublesome against this Warriors team. If Detroit is able to keep it close, there will be plenty of players to shake up the leaderboards come the end of the night.
- There are three games with totals under 200, but Chicago and L.A. have team totals over 100.
- Warriors, Spurs, and Hawks come in as the top projected scoring teams tonight, with the Grizzles, and 76ers ranking last.

Damian Lillard is averaging 27-3-6 this season, shooting 47% from the field, and 42% from three. Lillard ranks in the top ten for player usage rate, which is no shocker, and he continues to showoff his high floor/ceiling. He is a lock for big minutes, even on the back-to-back. Denver ranks 20th in defensive efficiency, and have struggled against opposing point guards. While Curry sits on top tonight, I am looking at Lillard for a few thousand cheaper. Now he might not have 70 fantasy point upside like Curry, but Lillard can certainly break 50+ on any given night.
