PGJa MorantOKC @ MEM Wed 8:001060056960053.8

It’s been a mixed bag of results for Morant but his upside is always around. Desmond Bane is still out of the lineup and that’s a big deal. Without Bane, Morant has a 36.9% USG and averages 1.55 FP/min. This is a pace-up spot for Memphis too. GPPs fit him best.

Game Type: GPP
PGTyrese HaliburtonIND @ MIN Wed 8:00930044.6930042.3

This is one of the best match-ups on the board if we get Haliburton back here. Minnesota ranks 29th in DvP against point guards this year. This is a match-up between two teams top-3 in pace, too. Haliburton is a double-double machine that really contributes across the board in every facet of the game. Haliburton averages 1.37 FP/min this year.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PGKyrie Irving8500080000

If Charlotte can keep this game competitive, Irving has massive GPP appeal at a sub-9K price point. We know how talented he is and with Ben Simmons off the floor this year, he’s looked better. He’s notched a 29.1% USG and averages 1.12 FP/min without Simmons this season. Charlotte has allowed the 6th most FP/min to PG this year. 10-point spread in this one.

Game Type: GPP
PGJrue HolidayBOS @ PHX Wed 10:007700079000

This is an excellent match-up for Holiday and the Bucks. Milwaukee gets a friendly pace-up environment to take advantage of as the Kings are 6th in that category. The Kings are 18th in DRtg as a team and 22nd against PGs. Holiday has 45+ DKP in three straight games and has 9+ assists in both games Middleton’s played. Not a coincidence there.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PGCJ McCollumDET @ NOP Wed 8:00730037720036.2

Detroit gushes points to opposing point guards and really just other teams as a whole. They not only rank 28th in DvP against PGs but are 29th as a team in DRtg. McCollum gets a Pistons team on a back-to-back as well. Has he looked good since coming off the covid list? No, he hasn’t, but Brandon Ingram is still out and CJM is an elite talent. He has a 26.4% USG and averages 1.04 FP/min without Ingram this year. Willing to go back to the well here.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PGD'Angelo RussellCHA @ BKN Wed 7:307000071000

This is an elite spot for the Wolves. Bad defense, fast-paced game, high total. Over the last two games, Russell has put up 40+ DKP without Karl-Anthony Towns. He has a 22.3% USG and averages 1.02 FP/min without KAT and Prince this year. Russell has had a 32 DKP floor over his last five games overall. The floor/ceiling combination here is elite.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PGRussell Westbrook6500069000

It’s hard to look past RWB with his 32.8% USG and 1.28 FP/min without Anthony Davis and LeBron James this year. Pat Beverely is doubtful too, so it’s possible we see Westbrook slide into the starting lineup. Either way, this is a ceiling-game type of spot for Westbrook considering the Lakers are missing their two stars.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PGMarkelle FultzLAC @ ORL Wed 7:00520028.5500028.6

We’ve now had Fultz play 30+ minutes twice this year and has been very productive in those spots, including last game. He took 18 shots, scored 20 points, made two threes, and 33.25 DKP. He’s going to continue to start at PG for Orlando and thus far he has a 23.5% USG and averages 1.00 FP/min. I really like Fultz as the Clippers rank 20th in DvP vs. PGs.

Game Type: GPP
PGDennis SchröderGSW @ UTA Wed 9:004100048000

No James, Davis, or Beverley. Schroder's been starting and took 13 shots on Tuesday. That could double here as the Lakers need scorers and Schroder is not shy at all. He's averaged 1.06 FP/min without them this year.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SGAnthony EdwardsIND @ MIN Wed 8:00880043.8840042.4

The price is really getting up there for me. I don’t think it’s possible for the steals to continue to be this elevated but we know he can also pop for 35 actual points with KAT out. With Towns and Prince off the floor this year, Edwards has a 27.7% USG and averages 1.18 FP/min. Both of those numbers lead the team.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SGTerry Rozier8000074000

If Charlotte keeps this close it’s because Rozier is willing them in this game. He’s going to take 20+ shots and CHA has been competitive nightly with Rozier on the floor. Without LaMelo Ball and Gordon Hayward on the floor this year, Rozier has a 29.4% USG rate. He has 50 FP upside and works best in GPPs.

Game Type: GPP
SGJosh GiddeyWAS @ CHI Wed 8:007300074000

As great as SGA is, I’d almost rather use Giddey in this spot. He’s been very good recently and has flashed a similar ceiling as SGA has at a price tag 3K cheaper. He’s excellent peripherally as we know and when his shot is falling he can get us 50+ FP. He profiles best as a GPP option.

Game Type: GPP
SGJordan PooleWAS @ CHI Wed 8:006500059000

With Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins, and Draymond Green out, everyone is going to turn their attention to Jordan Poole and for good reason. Poole has a 32.4% USG and averages 1.12 FP/min with all of those guys out. He’s going to start, play a boatload of minutes, and have the ball in his hands the entire night. Lock and load in all formats.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SGKlay Thompson6300062000

This is the first time this year Thompson is in while his teammates really aren’t. He’s taking plenty of shots when Curry and Wiggins are healthy, so what’s he going to do without them? Look for a playmaking Klay Thompson tonight as he could be the Robin to Jordan Poole’s Batman. Hard to fade either of these guys against the 25th-ranked defense in the league. This game has a 232.5 total even with who’s out for GSW.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SGBogdan BogdanovićATL @ NYK Wed 7:30450024.8440023.8

After playing 22 minutes in each of his first two games, you wonder if he’ll be upped a bit in this spot. If that limit is 25-27, we’re talking about a guy with a lot of upside at this price. He’s taken 22 shots in two straight and looked sharp last time out knocking down five threes and scoring 17 points. GPPs.

Game Type: GPP
SGAustin ReavesLAL @ TOR Wed 7:30390022.4490021.9

With LeBron James out, we should see Reaves slide into the starting lineup. Even if he doesn’t start, he’s going to play heavy minutes and we’ve seen on multiple occasions he has 30+ FP upside in his bag when he’s given time. He averages .91 FP/min without James and Davis on the floor this year.

Game Type: GPP
SFJayson TatumBOS @ PHX Wed 10:001080051.91050050.4

Not going to tell you don’t play a guy that could potentially win MVP and has 70 FP upside. Profiles best in tournaments.

Game Type: GPP
SFKevin DurantBOS @ PHX Wed 10:00107000101000

Basically, everything said about Tatum applies here. If Charlotte keeps this game competitive, Durant has 60 DKP upside. GPPs in a 10-point spread could get out of hand with how well BKN has played lately.

Game Type: GPP
SFLauri MarkkanenGSW @ UTA Wed 9:008200081000

Although Lauri is kind of stepping back with 20 shot games, he draws a Warriors team without their two best defenders to throw at him in Wiggins and Green. Markkanen has averaged 41.5 DKP/game over his last five outings and has 50-60 FP upside against this version of the Warriors.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SFKawhi LeonardLAC @ ORL Wed 7:00720031.8580031.4

This is interesting because the Clippers brought Leonard back from injury and he immediately played 28 minutes. Granted it was just an ankle sprain, but that bodes well for Leonard here. He looked good in his 28 minutes scoring 16 points while taking 15 shots. The Clippers are without Norm Powell, Marcus Morris, and John Wall, giving Leonard a few more shots coming his way.

Game Type: GPP
SFBojan BogdanovićCHA @ BKN Wed 7:306600057000

The guy just has games where he doesn’t miss. Look at two of his last three. He shot 70%+ while scoring 30+ points in each. With Cade Cunningham off, Bogandovic is the team’s number one offensive option. GPPs only because of the game to game rollercoaster ride he takes us on.

Game Type: GPP
SFLonnie WalkerBOS @ PHX Wed 10:004600052000

With the news that LBJ and AD are out, Walker is immediately going to take on a much bigger role offensively. He’s averaging 16.2 PPG this year, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see him lead the team in shot attempts in this one, or least be in the top-2. It’s not a huge sample, but Walker does sport a 21.2% USG rate without LBJ and AD this year.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SFTroy BrownDET @ NOP Wed 8:003200041000

This is what I’ll say about Brown. He has a very low floor but he may start and play 30 minutes. If he’s starting I’d have mild interest, but I still more confident in the likes of Schroder, Reaves, and Lonnie Walker on the wings for LAL.

Game Type: GPP
PFGiannis AntetokounmpoSAC @ MIL Wed 8:001240059.21170056.8

You know what hasn’t waivered in the 44 minutes that Giannis and Khris Middleton have played together? Giannis’ production. He has a 40% USG and has averaged 1.57 FP/min since Middleton’s return. Not going to talk you off Antetokounmpo.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PFZion WilliamsonDET @ NOP Wed 8:00960048.7990048.8

We’ve gotten plenty of ceiling games from Zion lately to know that this price tag isn’t too steep as long as Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones are sidelined. Zion has put up 50+ DKP in three of four and 60+ in two of three. Without those two this year, Williamson has a 30.6% usage and averages 1.4 FP/min, both leading the team. DET is 29th in DRtg this year.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PFKyle KuzmaWAS @ CHI Wed 8:00810037.6750035.7

Patrick Williams is definitely a solid defender, that was what he was known for coming out of college, but Kuzma has been a different animal with Bradley Beal off the floor this year. He has a robust 30.3% USG and averages 1.04 FP/min. The 3.2% USG bump is hard to ignore and so are the five 44+ DKP games over his last seven.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PFJaren JacksonOKC @ MEM Wed 8:00710037.8770039.5

There are few better match-ups on the board than front courts against the Thunder. They’re just so undersized and bad defensively across the board. They don’t give minutes to Poku so there is no threat of a shot blocker either. They rank 28th in DvP against PF and Jackson has already gone for 52 against them this year. GPPs only, however.

Game Type: GPP
PFJalen WilliamsOKC @ MEM Wed 8:00440025.6500025.1

The Thunder started Jalen Williams last game and now the team is without Lu Dort, so pretty much solidifying the fact that he’s going to start here once again. With Dort off the floor, as well as Kenrich Williams, Williams has a solid 20.5% USG and averages .86 FP/min. He scored 27 points a few games ago, so we know there’s a ceiling.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
PFJalen JohnsonATL @ NYK Wed 7:30410025.4460026.3

He’s not a high volume guy, but he can knock down shots and is very good on the glass. In each of his last two games, he’s started, played 29+ minutes and grabbed 9+ rebounds. With the Knicks starting a traditional PF/C combination unlike the Thunder, Johnson should be on the floor for 30+ minutes here once again.

Game Type: GPP
PFJonathan KumingaGSW @ UTA Wed 9:00340024.9400024.4

With Curry, Wiggins, and Green out, it’s assumed that two of Kuminga, Lamb, and Moody will be drawing starts. Kuminga has been in the Warriors rotation with all of them healthy, so this will only solidify his minutes more. If he plays 30 minutes he could be in a LOT of winning lineups. He still has to contend with Thompson and Poole in terms of shots, so keep that in mind.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
CPascal SiakamIND @ MIN Wed 8:009800098000

Who’s going to stop Siakam from the Lakers now that AD and LBJ have been ruled out? I’m not sure they have anyone that can and he’s coming off back-to-back 49+ DKP outings. I’d be OK with Siakam in all formats.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
CKristaps PorziņģisBOS @ PHX Wed 10:009200089000

Although he’s slightly behind Kuzma in terms of usage when Bradley Beal is off the floor, he’s way ahead in terms of FP/min. Porzingis sits at 1.33 FP/min with Beal off the floor and the Bulls are 19th in DvP against centers. Zinger has averaged 48.4 DKP/game over his last five games.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
CRudy GobertIND @ MIN Wed 8:00730036.6680035.8

I mean, foul trouble and an ejection in the first two games without KAT. Can’t make that up. That said, Indiana is 29th in DvP against centers and they just bleed FP to the position. He can’t be this bad forever, right? RIGHT?

Game Type: GPP
CNic ClaxtonCHA @ BKN Wed 7:30620036.6660037.2

Claxton’s been really good this year and he’s put up 33+ DKP in three of his last four games. He has a 39 DKP game in 25 minutes against Charlotte earlier this year as centers continue to dominate against Charlotte. Once again, they’re 30th in DvP against the position. We just need Charlotte to keep this close to maximize Claxton’s floor time.

Game Type: GPP
CKelly OlynykLAL @ TOR Wed 7:305900063000

Guys a GPP dart against a team that he could actually stay out of foul trouble because Kevon Looney isn’t exactly an offensive threat. He has 40+ FP in his bag.

Game Type: GPP
CMitchell RobinsonATL @ NYK Wed 7:30490026.9580029.1

Look, he’s been great on the glass and we know he can be an eraser defensively, but he’s taken four shots in his last two games. He has to be more impactful there. We love the price, we love the minutes, and we LOVE him staying out of foul trouble. *knocks on wood after that last point*.

Game Type: GPP
CThomas BryantIND @ MIN Wed 8:003100043000

Here’s your chalk of the slate. With Anthony Davis ruled out, it paves the way for Thomas Bryant tonight. Bryant should approach 30 minutes like he did on Tuesday and he fell one rebound shy of a 19-point double-double. Damian Jones likely sees some run tonight at the backup center spot, so keep him in the back of your mind as well, but Bryant is a pillar for your cash game lines.

Game Type: CASH & GPP
SGTalen Horton-TuckerWAS @ CHI Wed 8:003200037000

ADDED - Do we see THT start here with Lauri Markkanen ruled out? There's a chance. He's averaging 1.05 FP/min without him and Conley and has a 24% USG rate as well. Very cheap.

Game Type: GPP
PFJarred VanderbiltLAL @ TOR Wed 7:305100052000

ADDED - Vandy could really be extended here much like he was last game in which he played 32 minutes. It's a good spot and without Markkanen & Conley this year, he's averaged 1.07 FP/min.

Game Type: GPP
SGJordan ClarksonGSW @ UTA Wed 9:00740037.4610035

ADDED - Clarkson's going to be the focal point of this Utah offense as they're without Markkanen and Conley. His price on FD is SO good. Clarkson has a 30% USG and averages 1.12 FP/min without them.

Zion has put up 50+ DKP in three of four and 60+ in two of three. Without those two this year, Williamson has a 30.6% usage and averages 1.4 FP/min, both leading the team. DET is 29th in DRtg this year.

Patrick Williams is definitely a solid defender, that was what he was known for coming out of college, but Kuzma has been a different animal with Bradley Beal off the floor this year. He has a robust 30.3% USG and averages 1.04 FP/min. The 3.2% USG bump is hard to ignore and so are the five 44+ DKP games over his last seven.

There are few better match-ups on the board than front courts against the Thunder. They’re just so undersized and bad defensively across the board. They don’t give minutes to Poku so there is no threat of a shot blocker either. They rank 28th in DvP against PF and Jackson has already gone for 52 against them this year. GPPs only, however.

The Thunder started Jalen Williams last game and now the team is without Lu Dort, so pretty much solidifying the fact that he’s going to start here once again. With Dort off the floor, as well as Kenrich Williams, Williams has a solid 20.5% USG and averages .86 FP/min. He scored 27 points a few games ago, so we know there’s a ceiling.

He’s not a high volume guy, but he can knock down shots and is very good on the glass. In each of his last two games, he’s started, played 29+ minutes and grabbed 9+ rebounds. With the Knicks starting a traditional PF/C combination unlike the Thunder, Johnson should be on the floor for 30+ minutes here once again.

With Curry, Wiggins, and Green out, it’s assumed that two of Kuminga, Lamb, and Moody will be drawing starts. Kuminga has been in the Warriors rotation with all of them healthy, so this will only solidify his minutes more. If he plays 30 minutes he could be in a LOT of winning lineups. He still has to contend with Thompson and Poole in terms of shots, so keep that in mind.

Who’s going to stop Siakam from the Lakers now that AD and LBJ have been ruled out? I’m not sure they have anyone that can and he’s coming off back-to-back 49+ DKP outings. I’d be OK with Siakam in all formats.

Although he’s slightly behind Kuzma in terms of usage when Bradley Beal is off the floor, he’s way ahead in terms of FP/min. Porzingis sits at 1.33 FP/min with Beal off the floor and the Bulls are 19th in DvP against centers. Zinger has averaged 48.4 DKP/game over his last five games.

I mean, foul trouble and an ejection in the first two games without KAT. Can’t make that up. That said, Indiana is 29th in DvP against centers and they just bleed FP to the position. He can’t be this bad forever, right? RIGHT?

Claxton’s been really good this year and he’s put up 33+ DKP in three of his last four games. He has a 39 DKP game in 25 minutes against Charlotte earlier this year as centers continue to dominate against Charlotte. Once again, they’re 30th in DvP against the position. We just need Charlotte to keep this close to maximize Claxton’s floor time.

Guys a GPP dart against a team that he could actually stay out of foul trouble because Kevon Looney isn’t exactly an offensive threat. He has 40+ FP in his bag.

Look, he’s been great on the glass and we know he can be an eraser defensively, but he’s taken four shots in his last two games. He has to be more impactful there. We love the price, we love the minutes, and we LOVE him staying out of foul trouble. *knocks on wood after that last point*.

Here’s your chalk of the slate. With Anthony Davis ruled out, it paves the way for Thomas Bryant tonight. Bryant should approach 30 minutes like he did on Tuesday and he fell one rebound shy of a 19-point double-double. Damian Jones likely sees some run tonight at the backup center spot, so keep him in the back of your mind as well, but Bryant is a pillar for your cash game lines.

ADDED - Do we see THT start here with Lauri Markkanen ruled out? There's a chance. He's averaging 1.05 FP/min without him and Conley and has a 24% USG rate as well. Very cheap.

ADDED - Vandy could really be extended here much like he was last game in which he played 32 minutes. It's a good spot and without Markkanen & Conley this year, he's averaged 1.07 FP/min.

ADDED - Clarkson's going to be the focal point of this Utah offense as they're without Markkanen and Conley. His price on FD is SO good. Clarkson has a 30% USG and averages 1.12 FP/min without them.
