Hello everybody, and welcome back to another DFS Karma Game Theory article by yours truly! Today there are a couple things to monitor regarding injuries and COVID-19 protocols, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled. For injury news, please make sure to check our injury article. After that, come back to this article to make sense of the news and look at couple of ways to start building for this slate. This is a nicely sized slate with a good bit of injury news, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled throughout the day for updated news.
On both sites, I would start by locking in Jalen Brunson. Luka Doncic is out and he should get the start tonight. He’s super cheap and any time Luka is out, he stumbles to value, and has a good ceiling with his ability to rack up peripherals. Another Dallas guy you have to consider is Kristaps Porzingis. It is a tough, tough matchup for him though. A lot of worry for foul trouble and Myles Turner or Domas Sabonis to give him trouble. Can’t deny the usage though!
Another guy who I want a lot of exposure to tonight is Bam Adebayo. I’m going to lock Bam regardless of Butler’s status (questionable with illness right now) and I think that he is just too cheap vs a CHA team who struggles guarding 4s and Centers. If Butler is out, he’s going to be a must play in all formats, just like last night. He’s simply still too cheap and without Olynyk tonight, he’s gonna get a good amount of run at Center.
Orlando Magic are really undermanned tonight. However, FanDuel priced them up pretty high for my liking. However, if you had to play a few, I would focus in on Michael Carter-Williams and Khem Birch.
Make sure to watch for all the news we are still waiting for-
James Harden, Draymond Green, Collin Sexton, Jimmy Butler, to name a few.
There are many ways to go for this slate with still news awaiting for us, so make sure to monitor throughout the day to make sure you don’t miss out on anything important! Below is a list of my player pool as of now: (Aside from chart above)
- Kendrick Nunn
- John Wall
- Michael Carter-Williams
- Anthony Edwards
- CJ McCollum
- Nickeil Alexander Walker
- Tyler Herro (if Butler out)
- Gordon Hayward
- Jerami Grant
- Chuma Okeke
- Mason Plumlee
