Big slate tonight, the usual Wednesday standard. I have three lineups created with Colossus, where I made a few locks, and let Colossus plug in the rest. With no NBA tomorrow, just want to wish all the readers a happy Thanksgiving as well!!

Guards

Starting with the DraftKings lineup, Jarrett Jack and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson were locked in by Colossus. Both have great cafe value numbers, and are cheaply priced. This game could turn into a blowout, which worries me some, but Oklahoma City has not been an efficient defense. They rank middle of the road in many defensive categories, including fantasy points allowed to opposing guards. Ish Smith continues to be one of the better cheaper point guards, and regardless of if Holiday plays or not, he sees 30ish minutes, and just simply drops dimes. Great matchup for him tonight, and this one is my favorite game to target, given the high total. FanDuel, I do not have to go cheap at PG to fit in the forwards I want, instead I get them in addition. Lowry has one of the safer floors among point guards, and plenty of upside in this high scoring affair. Brandon Knight had an off game last time, yet still scored 30 fantasy points. His upside is tremendous, especially in this matchup. New Orleans ranks in the bottom five against point guards. Shooting guard opens up the salary for me on FanDuel, although looking back I would bump up Avery Bradley from Fournier with the remaining cash. Both are in good spots, and Rodney Hood is a cheap filler, playing minutes outside of the last game. For $4,700, I get some exposure, and L.A. is another lackluster defense.

Forwards

I locked in Porzingis and Davis for tonight, and it is hard not to. Davis is unmatched against Phoenix, as we saw last game. His floor has been solid when healthy, and health has been the issue so far this season. With Durant back, he is the superstar I want in my lineups. Porzingis continues to dominate, and now I feel safer deploying him with his minutes rising. Orlando ranks in the bottom ten in fantasy points allowed to opposing power forwards. He has 28 rebounds in the last two games, to go alongside two 20+ point performances, lock him in. Tristan Thompson is a solid mid-value power forward tonight, who is now locked into bigger minutes. He is not a offensive usage guy, but he rebounds well, and will hover around 10 points. Thabo Sefolosha is a injury replacement guy, Kent Bazemore is out, and Sefolosha is just too cheap to pass up. Love the Vegas total tonight, and he frees up a ton of salary. Kawhi Leonard has been a consistent 35+ fantasy floor guy, and it sounds like Aldridge will be back, but still love his consistency, and he just adds to the names on FantasyHub.

Centers

Karl Anthony-Towns burned many of us in the last matchup, but he did not burn us in his previous matchup against Atlanta, going for nearly 40 fantasy points. Atlanta ranks in the bottom five in fantasy points allowed to centers, and in rebound differential. I am all over Towns again tonight, put his last performance behind you. Zaza Pachulia has been surprisingly good the last few games, and against tough opponents. I can see why Colossus is on him in this matchup against San Antonio. They have struggled a bit this season defending centers, and his price has been outdone by his production so far this season.

I am not in love with Ish Smith with Evans back. Even if Evans is limited he is going to cut into Smith's minutes and production.

Just saw a little while ago he is doubtful tonight, but agree going forward.
