With a split slate of just three games per slate, there will not be a playbook, but instead of breakdown with example lineups below.  

Please note that there will not be example lineups for the evening slate.  With no late swap, and the GS/PHX game three hours after lock, the slate is not ideal.  Feel free to use the chat for any questions.

Early Slate:

Atlanta @ Boston -9.5  T: 202

An already thin Boston team rested a few of their healthy starters last game, and although Al Horford and Jayson Tatum will likely be back today, both will be on a minutes restriction.  Morris will remain out, as well as their other injured players. I have no issues using a cheap Jaylen Brown on FD tonight, as he is coming off a career high 32 points when they played thin in their last game.  Terry Rozier is a wild card tonight for me. He’s only 4-17 from the floor over his last two games, but in a nice spot vs the Hawks. The Celtics have won the first three games of this series, with Irving combining for 65 points over the first two, and Rozier puring in 31 actual in the latest matchup without Irving.  If Horford is on a minutes restriction, Greg Monroe remains in play. He put up 30 DK points in 23 minutes vs the Raptors, then blasted off without Horford for a 50 DK point triple double vs the Bulls in just 28 minutes. Boston has games today, Tuesday, and Wednesday so may not really push any single player too much today.

I’m not a huge fan of the Hawks options, but have been on Tyler Dorsey, who has double digit actual in eight out of his last nine games, including his career high 22 last game.  


 

Indy -2.5 @ Charlotte  T: 213.5

This one may be a tough game to figure out.  The Pacers look to be locked into the fifth seed, but are still able to move into the fourth spot with winning out and some misfortunes by the Cavs.  On the flip side, the Hornets looked done for, but exploded for 137 points in their last game.

Malik Monk’s price took a jump on DK, but is likely the top play from this game for the price.  He’s coming off a career high 26 actual, and has scored double digit actual points in eight out of his last eleven games.  He hit that mark just six times over his first 69 games. Dwight Howard continues to produce, but think his revenge game vs the Magic was last of his big games for the season.  He’s your top priced center option today by a solid $2K though, and can see him in lineups one last time today. Willy Hernangomez works as a pivot option, as he has hit for at least 24 FD points in five out of his last six games.

On Indy’s side, I really don’t know how to target them.  All plays are gpp’s with only three games, but may avoid the Pacers outside of a cheap flyer or two.


Dallas @ Philly -13  T: 215.5

Out of the three early games, the 76ers is the team with the most to play for still.  They just had a crazy win vs the Cavs, and with the Irving news in Boston, holding on to that third seed in the East is key for them.  I would be shocked if Ben Simmons is less than 70% owned today. He’s averaging a triple double of 18.2 points, with a little over ten boards and assists in the five games since Embiid went down.  JJ Redick has 19 or more actual points in seven straight games, and works great paired up with Brown on FD in the SG spot. Saric is the sneaky play, with Ilyasova, Belinelli, and Covington all checking in as solid options today.  

Dallas has shut down for the most part as they finish up another losing season.  I really wouldn’t mess around with them too much, but Johnathan Motley and Dorian Finney-Smith look to be some safer, cheap options.  Motley has played 81 minutes over his last two games, producing a combined 40 actual points and 20 boards. Finney-Smith has scored 25 and 37 DK points over his last two games, and has taken double digit FGA only twice this year, but those two times have been in his last two games.
