Only seven games on the NBA slate on Sunday night. There are a couple of injuries that will have big impacts on how we construct lineups tonight. The biggest injury concern is Anthony Davis, who left the Pelicans previous game in the first quarter due to a chest contusion and is listed as questionable. Mr. Anderson (Ryan) would become a great value play if Davis sits.
Spending big bucks at the point guard position tonight because there aren't a lot of good value or mid-tier plays. The shooting guard has a couple of really good values, especially if J.R. Smith doesn't play because that would make Tim Hardaway Jr. a great value play. Carmelo has rarely reached value this season, so save money at the small forward position.
Tim Duncan does it all and has a great matchup vs the Nuggets. He dominated the power forward position if Anthony Davis is out. The center position has a couple of really good value plays, while he isn't listed, Chris Bosh makes for a good play if you have the extra money to spend at center, but I'm saving money at that position.
