Ben Simmons, PG, Philadelphia 76ers ($8,800) The Houston-OKC tiff is intriguing with a lot of big names but if you want to spread out the wealth with the same ceiling for a huge outing, try Ben Simmons. The Aussie has just torched their would-be opponent Charlotte four days ago with 15 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, and a block. It would be nice to add more scoring and defensive stats but that should still be one heck of a stat line. Jrue Holiday, SG, New Orleans Pelicans ($8,500) Holiday has Read More
Points Montrezl Harrell, PF, Los Angeles Clippers Since Blake Griffin's departure, the Clippers has been able to give Harrell a steady amount of minutes and it's been paying dividends. He has been averaging 16.8 points and 3.8 rebounds on a 76% clip from the floor. Taurean Prince, SF, Atlanta Hawks Prince has scored in double-digits in seven straight games and nine of the last 10. In the past seven days, Prince is averaging 19 points while also contributing across the board (4.5 rebounds, 2.3 Read More
Russell Westbrook, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder ($11,900) I usually don't suggest putting the guy with the highest salary but against the Phoenix Suns, I beg to differ. The Suns have been the worst in the league in giving up points (113 points) and ranks 24th when it comes to opponent field goal percentage. I expect Brodie to come out guns ablaze and even come up with a triple-double. Josh Jackson, SF, Phoenix Suns ($5,700) Jackson has recently been on fire recently and produced 29 points on 9-of-16 Read More
Kyrie Irving, PG, BOS ($7,900) Irving will want to hit the ground running to begin the second half for the Celtics. They get Detroit tonight at 7:00pm, and the Pistons no longer have Avery Bradley to help pester him. Also, the presence of Drummond and Griffin down low could mean more outside shots for Irving and company. Nikola Jokic, C, DEN ($9,700) As usual, the center pool doesn’t have much to choose from, but there’s a case to be made you should reach for Jokic despite his high salary. Read More
Paul George, SF, Oklahoma City Thunder ($9,500) PG13 has been nothing less than phenomenal, scoring at least 25 points in 11 of his past 13 and draining 52 threes during that span. The Thunder will have a favorable matchup against the Sacramento Kings so expect PG to pick up where he left off. Spencer Dinwiddie, PG, Brooklyn Nets ($7,000) Dinwiddie has arguably been the Nets best player of the season, consistently producing very solid numbers since he took over the starting PG reigns. Even with Read More
Andre Drummond, C, DET ($10,600) How in the world is Drummond not an all-star? He continues to be the best rebounder in basketball, grabbing 15.7 a game and 21 in Monday’s loss to the Pelicans. If he can grab that many boards against Anthony Davis, how many can he get tonight against the Hawks? He and Davis are far and away better than any other centers available tonight. Kyle Lowry, PG, TOR ($7,600) Lowry recorded 22 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and two steals Read More
Paul George, SF, OKC ($10,000) George has been on fire the past couple of games while filling in for injured Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony. He’s averaging 55.6 FPPG over his last 3 games, which is 16 points above his season average. Cleveland’s “new look” team is a lot faster, but they still let up a ton of points to Boston. Westbrook is a GTD, and George’s price is much more affordable. De’Aaron Fox, PG, SAC ($6,000) Fox is having a great rookie season that no one is Read More
Players To Build Around: Paul George, SF, OKC Thunder There is no timetable yet for the return of Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony which means PG is going to be busy if both wouldn't be able to go. Regardless, George has been ultra-hot lately, averaging 33.3 points, 5 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 3.7 steals, 0.7 blocks and a total of 16 treys in the last three games. Jeff Teague, PG, Minnesota Timberwolves Teague is not playing the best basketball of his career but in the last 3 games, he is actually Read More
Anthony Davis, C, NOP ($11,700) Davis should be well-rested after the last Pelicans’ game was postponed due to a leak in the roof. He gets the 76ers tonight and as usual, Joel Embiid is a GTD. If Embiid can’t go, it should make it an easy night for Davis who is averaging 51.2 FPPG. He’s clearly benefited from Demarcus Cousins’ absence so far. Ricky Rubio, PG, UTA ($8,000) Rubio is quietly having an incredible season. Does anyone realize he’s getting 27.5 FPPG, including 29 points (8-16 Read More
Isaiah Thomas, PG, LAL I think the trade will benefit Isaiah Thomas because he won’t be under LeBron‘s shadow or in all that drama that he experienced in Cleveland. Isaiah Thomas did not like the way the team played defense and apparently was unhappy with in game adjustments by Tyronn Lue and the lack of practice time he needed to get back from his injury. I think a fresh start with the Lakers, and an opportunity to be one of the veteran stars will really help his fantasy value. I don’t Read More
