We have nine games on the NBA DFS main slate tonight and boy has it been flipped on its head with teams ruling out key players and thus creating plenty of elite value plays to build your lineups around. Let's get to the action.
The Celtics are going to be without Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Al Horford and Robert Williams tonight against the Raptors. A likely starting lineup of Marcus Smart, Derrick White, Aaron Nesmith, Grant Williams and Daniel Theis is what I think we can expect here. From a fantasy perspective, I have an interest in everyone but Aaron Nesmith of that starting group. Off the bench, Payton Pritchard and potentially even Nik Stauskas could have some value as well.
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Otto Porter are out of the lineup tonight for the Warriors. Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins are not the value plays they once were but Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Gary Payton Jr. and Damion Lee are all likely popular value plays here tonight.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Darius Bazley are out for the Thunder tonight. Tre Mann has been a mainstay as has Aleksej Pokusevski when it comes to Thunder value plays of late but Theo Maledon, Vit Krejci, Isaiah Roby and potentially even the returning James Robinson-Earl could all be value adds for the slate tonight.
Josh Hart, Justise Winslow and Trendon Watford are all out for the Blazers tonight. Top guys like Brandon Williams and Drew Eubanks are too expensive to be value plays but are still options to look for your lineups. Kris Dunn is the value add and you can take some dart throws on Ben McLemore, CJ Elleby and Keon Johnson as well.
