Well, another afternoon of really needing more information before giving any real selections. There are a lot of players I like tonight but so much depends on the health of the Cavs players as well as Klay Thompson, who was a lock and load guy before his questionable tag this afternoon.
Rather than giving you a lineup, since I don't have one yet, I'll just give you some guys I like tonight:
PG: Isiah Thomas - Celtics - $8,300: Thomas has been one of the highest producing fantasy sports players terms of point per dollar and I don't look for him to slow down tonight. If Embiid misses tonight there really will not be any defensive presence in the middle to slow down IT2's drives and I look for him to have a big game tonight. The only worry I have is a blowout and him not getting much run in the 4th Q
SG: Sean Kilpatrick - Nets - $5,300: There are a few factors that could change this one. Who starts for Cleveland? Will Kilpatrick start or come off the bench? If he comes off the bench, and 1 or 2 of the big three sit tonight, I love this pick. This is easily the one that could change as the night goes on and more value appears, so keep an eye on injury reports and starting lineups.
PF: Ersan Ilyasova - Sixers - $6,000: His price keeps going up but, if Embiid is out, I think Ersan is in another good position here to crush value. He has been a plug and play for a week or so now and you can fully expect somewhere in the 30 point FPP range each time he takes the court. If Embiid is out Ersan will be on every team I field tonight.
C: Jahlil Okafor - Sixers - $4,400: Again, this one is based on if Embiid plays or sits. If he is out Okafor's usage increases and makes him worth owning. He isn't flashy and you will likely have to watch the game log with your hands over your eyes as it won't be pretty but he certainly has a chance of crushing value tonight.
C: Montrezl Harrell - Rockets - $5,500: Nene played last night so this pick is simply based on the fact that Harrell's minutes should be large and secure tonight. He is a 20-25 pt guy on a normal night and I think he has a legit chance of reaching 35+ with minutes tonight vs Orlando. If he gets the minutes and can out rebound Bioymbo, look for Harrell to have a big night.
SF: James Johnson - Heat - $5,700: Another player that will be in a huge portion of my lineups tonight. Johnson was showing flashes of greatness before missing some time last week but is now back and ready to be unleashed. He only played 25 minutes in his last game and still put up 36 FPPs. Look for his minutes to increase tonight and giving him the chance for a big game.
PG: Goran Dragic - Heat - $7,400: Guards tend to dominate vs the Lakers and Dragic is in prime position to do the same tonight. The Lakers had a hard fought games against the Blazers last night and Goran could absolutely take advantage of them being a step slower. I actually love a stack in this game and will probably have a lot of players from here.
