Point Guard
Lonzo Ball ($7,000) vs Lakers– With Zion Williamson in the lineup, Lonzo Ball’s assist numbers have gone up and overall he has bene playing some good basketball. He still can’t be relied on to score the ball consistently but he does fill up the stat sheet in a way so he can be relied upon in a fantasy matchup. He comes into this game averaging 8.5 PPG 8.0 APG and 5.0 RPG in his last two games which is good for over 30 FPPG. He will also be matched up against his former team in LA so I think he will be at his best in this game as he tries to show the Lakers and their home fans what they are missing out on.
Shooting Guard
Dennis Schroder ($5,700) vs Bulls– Schroder still comes off the bench for the Thunder but he comes in to put the ball in the basket and he has been doing that effectively all season long. Despite coming off the bench he is still averaging around 30 minutes per game. He contributes a little bit on the glass and in the assists department but I like him tonight because I think he could see some more action vs a Bulls team that has not been playing very good at all this season. They allow almost 110 PPG this season and if this gets out of hand we could see Schroder play some more minutes than usual tonight.
Small Forward
Khris Middleton ($7,700) vs Raptors– Middleton has been playing excellent as the 2nd option behind Giannis in the Bucks offense. He is coming off of a 40 PTS 5 REB and 5 AST game where he shot over 50% vs the Wizards and all season long he has been getting buckets easily. In their last 3 games Middleton is averaging 31 PPG 7.3 RPG and 3.3 APG and is shooting 59% which is ridiculous for a guy who is primarily a shooter. The Raptors are obviously a good team but with the way Middelton is shooting I think he is due to have another great game tonight in Toronto.
Power Forward
Thaddeus Young ($6,400) vs Thunder– Thaddeus Young has been getting starters minutes with Wendell Carter out with injury and he has been great as of late in that role. In the last 3 games he is averaging 19.3 PPG 7.3 RPG on 54.5% shooting from the field and 66.7% from behind the arc on 10/15 shooting. In those games he hasn’t scored less than 34 FPTS and when his jump shot is falling like it is right now he is a tough player to stop. The Thunder have a pretty solid defense but at this price I think Young is worth a shot while he is playing the way he is.
Center
Daniel Theis ($4,900) vs Trail Blazers– With Kemba Walker out with injury the Celtics have needed everyone to step up and Daniel Theis has done exactly that. He is averaging 20.5 PPG and 12.5 RPG in his last two games on 71% shooting from the field and has been an excellent option in this offense. He can stretch the floor a little bit and I think that is something that will work to his benefit against Hassan Whiteside who is an elite level shot blocker. He may not put up the 25 and 16 we saw vs the Timberwolves but with how he is playing $4,900 feels like a great option.
Sleeper Play
Terence Davis ($4,200) vs Bucks– Terence Davis showed some flashes pre all-star break and he has come out of the break playing extremely well for a surging Raptors team. Since the break he is averaging 13.5 PPG and 3.5 RPG on over 50% shooting from the field and 45% from 3. He hasn’t done much other than score but he does average around 3.5 boards per game. He has gotten double digit shot attempts in each of the last two games as well. As long as he gets around the 25 minutes range that we have seen at $4,200 he could break out and give us huge value in this spot.
