Top Picks

Salary: FD: $11,000 DK: $10,700

Stephen Curry can only be rivaled by Russell Westbrook for best point guard play this season, but for tonight, it is Curry. He is averaging 33-5-5 this season, with 2.5 steals per game. Golden State is the highest projected scoring team tonight, and at home they are unstoppable. We should see a competitive game tonight, with no blowout to worry about. Toronto ranks 16th in fantasy points allowed to opposing point guards, while other point guards have tougher matchups tonight.

Salary: FD: $6,000 DK: $6,200

One of New Orleans' most surprising players has been, Eric Gordon. He is averaging 19-3-3 this season, and has been consistently averaging 30 fantasy points a game. New Orleans has the second high projected total tonight, and with the lack of depth in the backcourt, Gordon will log plenty of minutes. He is averaging 35 minutes a game, and is a volume shooter, averaging 16 shots per game. Denver ranks 29th in fantasy points allowed to opposing shooting guards.

Salary: FD: $7,000 DK: $7,000

Giannis Antetokounmpo gets a great matchup tonight against the Wizards, who rank dead last against opposing small forwards in fantasy points allowed. Alphabet is shooting 51% from the field this season, averaging 17-7-2. Antetokounmpo has big time upside, and although averaging just two blocks+ steals per game, he can deliver defensively. Although I trust him tonight, there is a small risk with Giannis, due to his foul trouble. The matchup is too good to pass up tonight.

Salary: FD: $10,900 DK: $10,800

It will be a close call to see who scores more fantasy points tonight, Anthony Davis, or Steph Curry. Davis has a great matchup against a depleted Denver front-court. Davis looked great in his return from injury, with a monster 36/11 game, tacking on four blocks. Davis averaged 26/12, with four blocks, in three games against Denver last season. With the second highest projected team total, there will be plenty for Davis. Denver ranks 18th in defensive efficiency.

Salary: FD: $8,000 DK: $7,100

While Hassan Whiteside, and Karl Anthony-Towns battle it out, I will be on the safe side with Brook Lopez. If you still have not noticed, Atlanta is being thrashed by opposing centers, ranking 26th in fantasy points allowed. Lopez contributed to that the other night, going 27 and 11. Lopez is averaging 19-8-1 this season, with 2.4 blocks per game. He may not have 60+ upside like the two high priced centers, but he has potential to be a 45-50 fantasy point player tonight.

Value Plays

With Arron Afflalo back, he has seen 27 minutes per game, and is averaging 10-4-2 in that span. This is a player who has upside when his shot is falling, and contributes in rebounds, and assists as well. Charlotte ranks 24th in fantasy points allowed to opposing shooting guards.
