NBA for Friday, 1/7
NBA for Friday, 1/7
Happy Friday all. NFL on deck this weekend, and one more week till we dive back into the UFC. Till then..here’s some NBA.
For today… some props i’m looking at:
PROPS:
LeBron James: O30.5 points -120
I’m not going to overthink this. James has been GTD every night it seems like there’s not risk for him missing tonight. He’s cleared this number in nine straight games and the over/under for the game is set at 230 tonight. Seems like a no brainer, but again, these easy ones always bite ya. Lets get bit, I mean lit.
Kevin Durant: O2.5 3-pointers +115
Durant has eclipsed this number twice in his last 12, and just three times in his last 18, but I have a sneaky suspicion he breaks the trend tonight. Last time out against Milwaukee he hit three, and the total for this game is the highest on the slate at 232.5 with the Nets projected to take 118.5 share. I could see Durant taking eight or more attempts tonight in a fast back and forth matchup.
DFS For tonight:
Top plays:
Kevin Durant ($10300): Not only does he show up every night, he turns it up a notch in these big matchups. I believe he had 58 fpts in the last matchup against the Bucks, and tonight I could see him there or better, exceeding his projected 54.
Nikola Jokic ($12000): I’ll pay up with some free squares tonight. Last time out went for 75 fpts and has a solid matchup tonight against the Kings. He should be good for 65+.
On the cheap:
Hassan Whiteside ($3500): Listed as a game time decision, he participated in the shootaround ahead of tonight’s matchup against Toronto. If he’s out there (which I believe we are good) he’ll crush his value.
Jalen Brunson ($7000): Brunson should be the guy tonight with Luka and Porzingis projected out. Luka is GTD but its not looking good. Either way, Brunson should be good for 40.
Jordan Clarkson ($5500): Another listed as GTD but he went through the shootaround as well. He’ll probably be high owned.
As always:
· For NBA, I tend to hit the cash/double up options.
· The larger pool single entry double ups hit 4 out of 5 days usually.
· Look for tourneys that pay out 22+% of the entry pool if you go GPP.
Here’s my main. Adjust away!
