Core Plays
Paul George-
Kawhi has been ruled out and Paul George has had this game circled on his calendar ever since he joined the Clippers. There’s been a lot of hype about this game and the fans will be rowdy with George’s return to OKC. I expect George to feed off the crowd and put on a show with no Kawhi. He’s locked for me.
Anthony Davis-
Surprise! AD is playing and LeBron isn’t! With that being said, I expect AD to be the number one option tonight vs the Nuggets. This isn’t an ideal matchup but we can’t ignore the usage bump here and I simply think Lakers run through him almost every trip down the floor today. Lock and load.
Value Plays
Lou Williams-
Lou is the lowest priced I’ve ever seen him in my 5 years of DFS. Especially on FanDuel he is so so cheap and you need to lock him there. Can’t ignore the usage he gets with Kawhi off the floor. Almost a no-brainer here. Locked for me.
Dennis Schroder-
He’s one of my favorite players to play, he’s consistent, will get you a good 5x, always low owned and has upside. I love him in this matchup because with Kawhi out, it is likely they shift PG to the 4 and thus allowing OKC to counter with CP3, Shai and Dennis, which they have elected to do not very often this year. I love him on both sites.
Jaylen Brown-
Brown isn’t really a “value” play but he’s still underpriced to me. Amazing matchup vs CHA, no Hayward or Smart.. I love his upside and I think you pair him with PG. I’ve played him the last 4 slates.
Tournament Plays-
Rajon Rondo-
I expect Rondo to either start or play the majority of PG minutes today with LeBron out. Rondo flourishes with AD and this’ll be like the Pelicans days. I think I have to run him in a few of my lineups because of his upside, and on a site like DK where there is a bonus for DD/TD you have to probably lock him in there.
Daniel Theis-
Theis is salary relief for us today, I wish he was a center but he’s in a smash spot, not playing a lot of minutes but versus a team who allows a lot of FP to bigs. I love him for value/tournament.
