Nice five game slate in the NBA on Sunday night. Russell Westbrook is easily the best option tonight. His price has actually dropped because of a couple of poor performance, but expect a monster game from him since the Thunder are fighting to make the playoffs. The power forward position is the best position to save money at, especially since most of the top-tier options (besides Anthony Davis) are hurt. Davis is going to have a good game, but believe he fails to reach value. James Harden has really struggled vs the Pelicans this season, and the return of Dwight Howard has hurt his scoring numbers. That is why I'm avoiding Harden tonight. Time to get the ball rolling.

Kawhi Leonard | Spurs | 5,900 | 8,500 | 8,200 | Best player at the position, but worried about the blowout factor |

Power Forwards
Player | Team | Fantasy Aces | Fanduel | DraftKings | Comments |

Enes Kanter | Thunder | 5,150 | 7,400 | 7,800 | Best option at the position and it is not even close |
