Small six game slate tonight, and I believe this slate is more built towards GPP's than cash games. Value plays do not exactly make you feel comfortable using them. I excluded a few players here, Shane Larkin, Brandon Bass, and Mike Muscula. Cafe Value was high, but they are not guys you put into lineups. Overall I let Colossus come up with it, as I locked in nobody this time, and this is what we got.

Colossus is on the two Hawks I rank above the rest, with Jeff Teague and Paul Millsap. Thabo Sefolosha is also in there for a value play. Anyone against the Lakers is self explanatory at this point, allowing 106 points per game, and struggling to guard each position.

Wizards-Suns have the highest total of the night (213), with Phoenix being a 1.5 point favorite. Even though John Wall's floor has been fairly low this season for his usual standards, outside the last two games, he is one of the elite plays tonight, who is at a discount when comparing to Harden, Davis, and James. Eric Bledsoe is a tier two play for me, as he just doesn't have 60 point upside the others do, but he carries a safe floor. I like the guard heavy lineup Colossus created on FanDuel, punting SF would definitely be the spot to punt tonight. Jared Dudley is a salary relief play, and while his floor is low, the game total, minutes, and ownership will not kill you.

Knicks-Nets is one of the lower total games, and the only pieces I would want, Colossus got. Thaddeus Young is coming off his worst game in quite some time, but has been a consistent 30+ fantasy player for a while. I like his FD price. Kristaps Porzingis is a great play on both FantasyHub, where he is a must play!! He is also nicely priced on FD. DraftKings, for $8,100 he is a strict tourney play.

Rockets-Mavs has a very high total, and pin pointing where the points come from his key. Dallas has a lot of low upside players with safe floors, so guys like Deron Williams, Wes Matthews, Dirk Nowitzki are solid cash game options tonight. You could argue Zaza Pachuilia has the best upside on the team. As far as Houston goes, Harden is a lock for a high floor, while Clint Capela is the best value play. Marcus Thornton could see some minutes tonight, as well as Terrence Jones.

It feels weird not attacking with any Cavs players, given New Orleans has the worst team defense in the league, but I can actually understand why. The offense is fairly spread out among Cleveland, and the upside we want just isn't really there. I do like Anthony Davis and Tyreke Evans who basically are the only options in the New Orleans offense right now. Evans is SG on DK, making him a more attractive option there.
