NBA for Tuesday, 12/28
NBA for Tuesday, 12/28:
I hope everyone had a great holiday! For today:
PROPS:
Russell Westbrook: OVER 20.5 points
Up against the ol’ crew in Houston tonight. Uptick in motivation, AD out, and it’s the highest total on the board tonight (Game 225.5, LAL 115.75). Field goal attempts are up with Davis out, taking 20+ shots. He’s averaged 24.5 against Houston this year, and this will be the first game on their court. The Lakers have lost five straight? Another reason to bring the heat.
DFS For tonight:
Top plays:
Lebron James ($11300): Big price tag but is getting 1.47 fantasy points per minute with the Davis absence. Great spot with a great projected total tonight.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($9500): Giddy out so we should see him surpass his projection with another point per minute increase against Sacramento. Can see him hit 40+ FPTS.
On the cheap:
Ricky Rubio ($6400): Rubio getting the start tonight with Garland ruled out. They will lean on him big time tonight, and I see tons of value on this price tag.
Nathan Knight ($3200): Knight getting the start tonight after going off for 20 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and a block and a steal in less than 30 minutes yesterday. $3200? Sign me up.
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:
