Rise and Grind fellas, last night was a very profitable night for I finished 5th in a 5500 person GPP even if I had two duds and half of my lineups cashed so I'm thankful for that anyways enough of that let's focused on to today's slate shall we.
Today slate is chalk city, most of the top plays are very popular especially the Phoenix guys' Tyler Ulis, TJ Warren and Alan Williams,on the Lakers side of the field Julius Randle and Brandon Igram are in good spots but I'll be limiting the exposure to them, the Lakers can be unpredictable.
Al Horford and Marcus Smart are the top plays from Boston, Jeremy Lin is still in a great spot although I'll be wary of the B2B.
The usual suspect Dario Saric is a great play although I'd be warry bout the Mavs because they slow the pace down.
Studs to pay up for Giannis, Karl Anthony Towns, Hassan Whiteside, James Harden
PG's to pay up for: Ricky Rubio, the most consistent of the bunch and is a great defender meaning I'll be fading Goran Dragic.
Plays that might be under the radar:
Jahlil Okafor- he's starting to get comfortable with No Nerlens Noel and and Joel Embiid by posting 6x and 7x value the last two games and I think the trend continues today.
Jonas Valanciunas- Dwayne Casey loves to match-up Val to teams with a formidable front line for example New Orleans he got 43 fantasy points against Boogie and AD, LA Clippers he got 40 against DeAndre, 40 against Tyson Chandler this is when Tyson was still hauling the rebounds in January, against Utah he had 34 against Rudy Gobert, against Sacramento when Boogie was still there he had 50 and finally Against Detroit, he had 46 on opening day.
Kantevious Caldwell-Pope- he's in a good spot for a breakout game because of the golden rule of play wing players against the Toronto Raptors. I'm not high on this but might worth a shot for a dart play.
Nikola Mirotic- he's having a reemergence that correlates to Rajon Rondo starting, and now Dwayne Wade is gone someone has to take the shots.
Shabazz Muhammad- With Nemanja Bjelica gone for the season with a broken foot, he's now the number one guy off the bench and will be taking a lot of shot in the second unit.
Andrew Wiggins will be a good pivot off of TJ Warren just in case he underwhelms has the capability to get 50 fantasy points as shown before the All Star break.
Ivaca Zubac- might be worth a play just for the fact that the Bucks sucked at defending Centers and rebounding, DeAndre dropped a 47 on them just the other day.
Players I'll likely avoid: Andre Drummond, Demar Derozan, Serge Ibaka, Goran Dragic, Jimmy Butler, Demarcus Cousins.
Sneaky picks: Denzel Valentine, Jordan Crawford
Here's a test lineup will add more later:
