Point Guard
Kyle Lowry ($7,900) vs Nets– Kyle Lowry continues to be one of the most consistent fantasy point guards in the game and he is playing on a Raptors team that is red hot at the moment. In his last 4 games Lowry has put up 22.3 PPG 9.5 APG and 5.0 RPG and is shooting 54.5% from the field. With over 57 FPTS in two of the last 3 games Lowry has a chance to really be of value here at this price point vs the Nets. The Nets come into this game allowing the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing PGs this season and with the way Lowry is playing I can’t pass him up in this good of a matchup.
Shooting Guard
Kevin Huerter ($6,200) vs Cavaliers– For the Hawks, Trae Young obviously runs most of the offense but 2nd in charge is Kevin Huerter. He has at least 6 assists in the last 3 games and along with that he is averaging over 17 PPG in the last 6 games overall while almost shooting 40% from 3. Whether he is running the offense with Young off the floor or catching and shooting off of Young’s drive Huerter is playing really well right now and contributes in all of the 3 major categories. At $6,200 vs a bad Cavs team I think Huerter is a solid play tonight on the road.
Small Forward
Jae Crowder ($5,100) vs Jazz– Crowder has only played two games with the Heat since being traded but he has sure made a positive impact. He has scored over 18 PTS in both games with a total of 9 threes and he has averaged 9.5 rebounds. Crowder has always been good on the defensive end so it is good to see that his shot has come back around early in his Heat tenure. With two games over 39 FPTS and with it looking like he is going to be a fixture in the Heat lineup I have no issues rostering him at only $5,100 tonight vs the Jazz on the road.
Power Forward
Rui Hachimura ($5,100) vs Knicks– Rookie Wizards forward Rui Hachimura has missed some time due to injury this season but he has come back and he has been playing some great basketball. He is averaging 15 and 7 in the last 4 games while shooting over 50% from the field. We haven’t seen the 3 point shot a lot from him this season but he has shown it a little bit in his most recent games and it has been working well. The Knicks have been very poor this season guarding opposing big men, allowing the 3rd most FPTS on DK this season, so I expect Hachimura to continue the success that he has been having.
Center
Nikola Jokic ($10,100) vs Lakers– Jokic got off to a bumpy start this season but it looks as if he has returned to his MVP form that he showed last season. In the last 5 games Jokic is averaging 28 PPG 12.2 RPG and 9.8 APG on 61% shooting from the field which is incredible for a center. He stuffs the stat sheet on a nightly basis and even when he isn’t shooting a lot like he did in their last game, only 6/8 from the field, he can still but up huge numbers fantasy wise. The Lakers have some good defensive big men but Jokic is just doing too much right now for me to believe that they can slow him down tonight.
Sleeper Play
Jordan Poole ($3,900) vs Suns– Jordan Poole was in our lineup when the Warriors played last and he continues to produce very well for someone that is priced below $4,000. He has scored double digit points, shot double digit times, and has scored over 22 FPTS in each of the last 3 game for Golden State. The Warriors need scoring after their trades of a couple guys at the deadline and Poole has stepped right into that role. He had a season high 31 minutes in their last game so getting a scorer at this price who is playing this much is a no brainer option for me vs the Suns tonight on the road.
