Sunday’s Optimal Lineups will be posted within one hour of lineup lock.

Phoenix Suns @ Sacramento Kings

Total: 231

SAC -9.5

Suns

Devin Booker is set to return after a two-game absence, and the Suns were surprisingly competitive with Book out Friday against the Warriors. It will be Booker’s first game with new teammate Tyler Johnson, who played 28 minutes and had five points on 1-9 shooting in his Phoenix debut Friday. Johnson is now 4-of-22 from the field in his last three games, and he is unlikely to take nine shots again with Booker back.

Josh Jackson is averaging 40.8 fantasy points on DraftKings in his last four games, and unlike Mikal Bridges and my boy Kelly Oubre Jr., I’m not too worried about Jackson losing shots with Booker back. DeAndre Ayton has been relatively quiet in 2019, but he is averaging 37.1 fantasy points in his four games since returning from an ankle injury. In two games against Sacramento, Ayton is averaging 32.9 fantasy points in just 25.1 minutes.

Kings

If Friday’s game is an indication of Sacramento’s rotation going forward, it’s going to be awfully difficult to trust any Kings outside of De’Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield and Bogdan Bogdanovic for the foreseeable future. Those three led the Kings in field goal attempts with 17, 16 and 14, respectively. Along with Harrison Barnes, they were the only Kings to play more than 24 minutes.

Nemanja Bjelica started the game but was replaced by Bogdanovic to start the second half, and I will feel better about playing Bogdanovic for fantasy if he is in the starting lineup. Most fantasy players would love to see Marvin Bagley III start in Bjelica’s spot. If that happens, Bagley would be a GPP play at the very least.

Orlando Magic @ Atlanta Hawks

Total: 223

ORL -1.5

Magic

It’s still maddening to me that the Magic haven’t traded Aaron Gordon so that they can play Jonathan Isaac at the four full time, but he has been solid for fantasy starting at the three and averaging 29.4 minutes per game. Isaac has scored at least 26.5 fantasy points in seven consecutive games and nine of his last 10.

The other Orlando wings have not been near as consistent, but they have flashed more upside. Evan Fournier has scored 40+ fantasy points in two of his last 10 games, including last month against Atlanta. Terrence Ross has scored 40+ fantasy points in three of his last five games.

The Hawks have actually been pretty good against opposing centers this season, but Nikola Vucevic went for 29 points, 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in his only game against Atlanta this season. D.J. Augustin has failed to reach 20 fantasy points in three straight games, but only the Suns have allowed more fantasy points to opposing point guards than the Hawks this season.

Hawks

Trae Young has quietly been super consistent for fantasy in 2019, even when his shot isn’t falling. Young has scored at least 40 fantasy points in five of his last eight games. DeWayne Dedmon is usually someone I only look to play when Alex Len is out, but I will make an exception Sunday. The Magic have allowed the third most fantasy points to opposing centers this season, and Dedmon had 24 points and nine rebounds in 26.3 minutes against Orlando last month. Outside of Dedmon and Trae Young., Kevin Huerter may be the safest Hawk. He has played at least 28 minutes in five consecutive games and scored at least 26 fantasy points in five of his last six.

Miami Heat @ Golden State Warriors

Total: 221

GS -14

Heat

Dwyane Wade is questionable with a back contusion Sunday, and it will be extremely interesting to see who backs up Justise Winslow at point guard if Wade cannot go. Both Wade and Winslow were solid in the first game after Tyler Johnson was traded, and I see no reason to believe Sunday will be any different.

Winslow, Josh Richardson and Dion Waiters were the only Heat players to top 30 minutes Friday, and while Waiters’s minutes have been inconsistent for most of 2019, I like his chances of playing 30+ minutes going forward with Tyler Johnson out of the mix. Waiters would be a lot safer for DFS if If Dwayne Wade is out, while Rodney McGruder would likely see a nice minutes bump as well.

Warriors

If this was a larger slate, I would strongly consider fading the Warriors. Only five NBA teams have allowed fewer fantasy points than the Heat this season, and with a 14-point spread, there is a decent chance the starters don’t play a whole lot. Demarcus Cousins is probably the most interesting Warrior coming off a season-high 27 minutes on Friday. He has topped 40 fantasy points just once all season, but he has at least 30 fantasy points in six straight games.

It will also be super interesting to see who guards Stephen Curry since the Heat don’t have an actual point guard. Steph hasn’t exactly been safe lately, but I think I trust him more than I trust Kevin Durant. Of course, Durant benefits from playing a much weaker position, which is very important on such a small slate. Klay Thompson is always a GPP play thanks to his ability to rain threes, while Draymond Green is averaging just 25.7 minutes and 23.7 fantasy points over his last three games.
