Looks like a really fun slate tonight, a good mix of games. I did exclude a few however, Heat-Wizards, and 76ers-Spurs. I just want no part of those games this evening, with so many other games with high totals, and closer spreads.

Colossus loves Reggie Jackson tonight. He never seems to be a guy high on the radar, but delivers in great matchups. With Kemba Walker doubtful, he will matchup with Jeremy Lin? Sign me up yet again. I love him and Andre Drummond tonight. I am not really into other options from this game, other than Batum. He will likely command the offense tonight, making him the top SF/SG option.

Pelicans-Celtics has the highest total tonight, and Celtics are just one point favorites. Avery Bradley is a GTD tonight, and guys like Evan Turner, and Jae Crowder get a boost from that. With Andrew Wiggins, and Nicolas Batum listed as SG on DK, Crowder seems to be the viable option. New Orleans does have one of the worst team defensive efficiency ratings. Tyreke Evans and Anthony Davis are both in great spots, who have been extremely consistent. Give me plenty of them tonight against Boston, especially Davis.

Raptors-Lakers, everyone on the Toronto side is in a good spot, and we just hope things stay close. L.A. has actually done a fairly good job of keeping games close for our opposing players to exceed value. Kyle Lowry is the obvious play here tonight, and Colossus has locked in Lucas Nogueira. He saw more minutes than anyone else at center in the last game, and this could be the move going forward. For bare-minimum, it is worth a look tonight. He played 24 minutes last game, and racked up 25 DK points.

Mavs-Knicks is where I am looking for value tonight, and one true GPP play. Both Dallas guards, Wes Matthews, and Raymond Felton are underpriced, and are among the top value plays tonight. On the other side, Porzingis is still underpriced on FanDuel, and extremely underpriced on FantasyHub. DK he is a true GPP play.

Suns-Bulls was a fun one for fantasy points last time out, and remember Derrick Rose missed that game. Pau Gasol is playing right around 29 minutes per game, which is not thrilling for me. He is a great fantasy points per minute play, which is why I do not mind him still. His price is on the way down, so he is looking like a better cash game than GPP now. Colossus likes the Suns value in the front court. It might be a little more than I can stomach, with the uncertainty of minutes. Tyson Chandler is doubtful, which means Alex Len should see minutes, given the Chicago size, as long as he can stay out of foul trouble. Jon Leuer has seen 39, 23, and 41 minutes the last three games. Markieff Morris is a DNP-CD last time out, so keep an eye on that up until game time.

Hey Jason, would Kyle Anderson have more potential than Nogueira today? Just wondering if moving Pau to C and Kyle Anderson to the UTIL spot would be a good move? This is for DK btw. Thanks!

Yes definitely, with no Duncan and Kawhi, I do like his upside more than Nogueira (who we are not so sure on)

What do you think about Byron Scott shaking up his starting five. Would Larry Nance Jr. be a nice punt play and also Lou Williams playing his former team AND starting? Looks like Nogueira and Carroll are out also.

I don't mind Lou Williams in tournaments, as for Larry Nance, I will pass. Also Nogueira is ruled out if you had any shares other than this lineup.
