We have a small four-game main slate due to there being three early games on this beautiful Saturday night. This slate is headlined Stephen Curry and the Warriors on the second night of a back-to-back. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder are also in action but he comes into this one as questionable. We also have Jerami Grant and the Portland Trail Blazers taking on Lauri Markkanen and the Utah Jazz.

PGStephen CurryHOU @ GSW Sat 8:301090053.21050050

Curry and the Warriors played last night and beat the Bulls. Steph posted a line of 19/6/12 and finished with 44 fantasy points. It could have been a better night for him but he had six turnovers. He has a great matchup in this one against a bad Houston Rockets defense. Steph is a good play on both sites, even coming off a game last night.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PGShai Gilgeous-AlexanderOKC @ MIN Sat 8:001030049.11070049.6

SGA is dealing with a hip injury but he is available to play in this one. All systems go for SGA tonight, the last time he played the Timberwolves was game one of the season and he scored 57 fantasy points. Gilgeous-Alexander also has scored no fewer than 43 fantasy points in his last five games. When choosing between Steph and SGA tonight, I slightly lean SGA's way.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PGD'Angelo Russell6800068000

D-Lo has been very solid over his past five games averaging just under 39 fantasy points per game. Russell has also dropped double-digit dimes in three of those five games, really getting his teammates involved. He was solid on opening night against the Thunder scoring 32 fantasy points in that matchup. Russell is slightly underpriced in my eyes tonight, and I think he is a good play.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PGCollin SextonPOR @ UTA Sat 9:00570030.6600029.5

No Mike Conely tonight for the Utah Jazz, so that means Sexton will start at the point. Sexton has seen double-digit shot attempts in each of his last four games, so the volume is there. He has scored at least 24 fantasy points in his last five games, and that really is his floor with how much he has the ball in his hands. I like Sexton at his price being under 6K on DraftKings.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PGMarkelle FultzORL @ TOR Sat 8:00560025500025.1

Fultz is finally back and healthy as it comes at a good time with Jalen Suggs being injured. Fultz has played in the Magic's last two games and has scored over 20 fantasy points in each, and he saw 31 minutes in the last contest as well. The former first-round pick looked like himself in the last game, and he gave me the confidence to be able to plug him in my lineups tonight.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SGAnthony EdwardsOKC @ MIN Sat 8:00860045.8860044.2

Edwards is such a fun player to watch. He has scored over 25 points in each of his last four games, and I could see a fifth coming against a bad Thunder defense. With KAT out of the lineup, it creates more opportunities for Edwards, and he is thriving and stuffing the stat sheet. Getting Edwards under 9K on both sites is a steal tonight, get him in your lineups.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SGAnfernee SimonsPOR @ UTA Sat 9:00830042.9840040.5

Simons is really starting to feel himself and rightfully so, he can score on anyone. With Dame out, Simons is the lead guy and taking full advantage of it.  Over his last five games, Simons has chucked up 55 three-point attempts knocking down 23 of them. You love to see all the volume coming Simons way, and he should take advantage of a good matchup against Utah tonight.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SGJordan Poole5800059000

I am going Poole instead of Klay tonight. Poole dropped a 30-piece in the win against the Bulls last night in just 23 minutes of action. Thomson played a whopping 37 minutes last night, and on the second night of a back-to-back, I do not expect to see that happen again. I expect Poole to get a little more run tonight since he has the fresher legs, in a game were they should be able to handle pretty comfortably.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SGGary TrentMIL @ CHA Sat 6:004900061000

With the return of Siakam to the lineup Gary Trent was the odd man out and he was moved to the bench. Trent has struggled with his shot at times this season, but he has been much better over his last three games knocking down 10-22 three-pointers. I like Trent on DraftKings a lot tonight as he is priced under 5K. He is also still playing at least 26 minutes a night. Trent should return value tonight at that price.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SGJaylen Nowell4300051000

Another great value play at the guard poison tonight. Nowell has been awesome over his last three games. He has played at least 24 minutes in each game and scored at least 16 points in each game. It looks like he has solidified his role off the bench as just a bucket-getter. I look for Nowell to continue his hot streak in a good matchup tonight.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SFOG AnunobyDAL @ NYK Sat 12:307400074000

OG is as solid as it comes for fantasy purposes. He sees double-digit shot attempts every single night and plays outstanding defense. He has recorded at least two steals in four out of his last six games. Orlando is awful defensively and should allow open looks to OG from the three-point line tonight. He is a little pricey at $7,400 and his ceiling is capped a bit, but he is still a solid play. 

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SFAndrew WigginsHOU @ GSW Sat 8:30650033.7610033.5

Wiggins has been awfully quiet the last two games not eclipsing 20 fantasy points. I look for Wiggins to bounce back in this one in a good matchup against Houston. Look for him to search for his shot a bit more in this as he hasn't gotten up more than 12 attempts in his last three.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SFLuguentz DortOKC @ MIN Sat 8:00590027.8550027.7

Dort's price is starting to creep up a bit on DraftKings as he is almost back up to 6K. I like him much better on Fanduel tonight. Dort is playing a ton of minutes and his shot has started to fall here recently. He is 10 for this last 27 from behind the arc after shooting sub-30 % for most of the season. With Gobert clogging the paint, Dort should see a number of open looks from deep tonight, lets's just hope he knocks them down.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SFJustise WinslowORL @ TOR Sat 8:005200056000

Winslow has stepped into the starting lineup for the injured Damian Lillard. He has done a very solid job and is putting up the numbers to back it up. Winslow has double-digit rebounds in two of his last four games, getting after it on the glass. He has scored at least 26 fantasy points in his last four games, and I do not see why it wouldn't continue tonight.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SFJalen WilliamsOKC @ MIN Sat 8:00480020.4480020

The rookie Jalen Williams is starting to turn heads in OKC. He is averaging over 27 minutes per game over his last five and is taking full advantage of it. In their last win against the Spurs, Williams scored a career-high 27 points and also corralled six rebounds. Williams has earned the trust of the coaching staff and should earn yours too. Williams is a very good value-play tonight.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PFPascal Siakam9500099000

Siakam has made his way back into the lineup after missing some time with an injury. It doesn't look like he has skipped a beat, playing at least 30 minutes in his three games back. He has also put up 40 fantasy points in all three. He is pricey tonight so you may need to look elsewhere if you are paying up somewhere else.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PFPaolo BancheroORL @ TOR Sat 8:00820038770037

Banchero missed sometime in November with injuries. He is starting to look like himself again scoring at least 20 points in each of his last three games. We know the rookie is not shy either getting up at least 14 shot attempts over his last four. The Raptors length could give Banchero problems tonight, but I wouldn't overthink it, Paolo is a solid play tonight.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PFLauri MarkkanenPOR @ UTA Sat 9:00800041.6810039.9

If you can't afford Siakam tonight I think a great pivot is Markkanen. Lauri has scored at least 32 fantasy points in each of his last five games and at least 42 over his last three. It is an intriguing matchup between him and Grant in this one but I slightly give the edge to Grant, that doesn't mean Markkanen isn't a good play tonight, because he is.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PFJerami GrantPOR @ UTA Sat 9:00770033.9820033.1

Grant is the cover boy for a reason tonight. He has just been so good over his last five games. He has scored at least 43 fantasy points in four of his last five games. We have even seen him drop 32 and 44 game points during that span as well. I like the matchup for Grant against Markkanen as he should be able to use his speed and get to the basket on him. I look for Grant to have another huge night in this one.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PFKyle AndersonHOU @ GSW Sat 8:304400047000

It's Slo-mo season ladies and gentlemen with KAT out of the lineup. Anderson has played 28 and 39 minutes over those two games and scored 23 and 29 fantasy points. Anderson just stays within himself and does many different things on the court well. I look for Anderson to keep up the solid production in this one and moving forward.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
CRudy GobertOKC @ MIN Sat 8:00690036.5720035.7

Man, Gibert has just been so inconsistent this season. But with Towns not in the lineup, you would think that would benefit Gobert, we just haven't seen it. Gobert hasn't grabbed double-digit rebounds in either of his last two games, which is very discouraging. But in this one, against a small Thunder frontline, I like the matchup. His price is also very solid being priced under 7K and DraftKings. I am fine playing Rudy in this one.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
CJusuf Nurkić6700065000

Nurkic cooled off in the Blazers last game against the Lakers in which Anthony Davis got the upper hand on him. That was to be expected, however, as it wasn't a good matchup for Nurk. This matchup is much better against Kelly Olynk and I expect Nurk to bounce back and get close to that 40 fantasy point threshold that we saw him hit in his previous three games. 

Game Type: CASH & GPP
CBol Bol6600067000

Bol Bol is such a fun player to watch. Unfotunelty he just lacks consistency and we have seen that over his past five games. We have seen Bol score 24 and 18 points en route to a 40 fantasy point showing. But in the other three games, he did score over six game points. His ceiling is definitely capped with Banchero in the lineup, and I think I will stay away from Bol in this one.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
CAlperen ŞengünHOU @ GSW Sat 8:30620033.3690033.3

Sengun has been great over his last five games, and I think he is the play at center tonight. Sengun has scored at least 26 fantasy points over his last four and boy did we a ceiling game from him. We saw Sengun dominate a small front court in Oklahoma City in which he scored 21 points and hauled in 19 rebounds for 65 fantasy points and broke the slate. Golden State also has a small frontcourt outside of Loney, so look for Sengun to have a solid night.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
CKevon LooneyHOU @ GSW Sat 8:30430022430022.3

Looney is a solid dart-throw option. He had a good night last night hauling in 12 rebounds en route to a 30 fantasy point performance. He played 27 minutes against Nikola Vucevic of the Bulls and matched their size. Looney could see some decent run against Sengun and the Rockets and could put up solid numbers once again and be a solid value play.
