My lineup for tonight... Could change if anything pops up on the injury report.
PG: Rajon Rondo
PG: Brandon Knight
SG: Avery Bradley
SG: Evan Fournier
SF: Otto Porter
SF: Rhondae Hollis-Jefferson
PF: Paul Millsap
PF: Kristaps Porzingis
C: Jahlil Okafor
-Rajon Rondo has been on a tear. He's stuffing the stat sheet just like his Boston days and I expect that to continue against Milwaukee. The Bucks are subpar defensively especially against point guards.
-Brandon Knight has an outstanding matchup against a Pelicans team that doesn't defend point guards well. Eric Bledsoe is questionable, so Knight could see extra opportunities. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a huge 40+ fanduel point game from Knight.
-Avery Bradley is a good play and will continue to be as long as Marcus Smart is out. He's still fairly cheap and is almost a lock to exceed value against the Sixers.
-Evan Fournier has been solid all year. It's hard not to grab him at $5900. He sees plenty of time on the floor and does a lot of things well. Not only can he score, but he grabs rebounds at a decent rate for a SG and also picks up assists.
-Otto Porter is another guy who has been exceeding value. He shoots the three-ball well and has been getting steals at a good rate. Batum is a good defender but he's questionable with the flu. Even if Batum plays, I still like Porter tonight.
-Rhondae Hollis-Jefferson has seen an uptick in minutes lately and he has produced very well. The last three times he's played 30+ minutes, he's scored 30+ FanDuel points. He's only $4100 and I fully expect him to get those minutes tonight against OKC. The Thunder should win in a blowout, but the Nets want RHJ to get as many minutes as possible. The pace of the game should allow him to grab a few more boards and put a few more shots up. Best value of the day. Take him.
- There's several different directions you can go at PF tonight, but I like Paul Millsap against Minnesota. Millsap is on the second night of a back-to-back, which would normally scare me, but as long as he plays, he has the ability to contribute in a variety of ways. Last time he played in a back-to-back, he scored 50+ fanduel points on the second night.
-Kristaps Porzingis just continues to be arguably the best rookie in the NBA. He's been putting up monster numbers. I expect that to continue against Orlando tonight. He's at a midrange price ($6700) and has been exceeding that almost every night. He will be very highly owned, but as long as he has a good game, that won't matter.
-It's worth mentioning that I strongly considered Jared Sullinger tonight. Philadelphia flat out sucks at guarding big men. Well... They suck at everything. I actually fully expect Sullinger to have a big night. How could he not? He should be able to get buckets and dominate the glass against Philly. He should easily exceed value at $6000.
-Jahlil Okafor is another guy in the running for rookie of the year. I love him tonight against Boston. The Celtics have trouble keeping big men off the offensive glass and let them score at a high pace. There's also not many centers who put up as many shots per game as Okafor. I've been using him a lot and that will continue. He will exceed his $6700 value tonight and score 30+ fanduel points.
