NBA for Wednesday, 1/5:
11 game slate tonight with a slew of names out. One that won’t be though is Kyrie Irving, who’s slated to make his long awaited season debut tonight against the Pacers.
For today… Jokic will be a popular guy in DFS, though he’s spendy. I’ll avoid him in DFS to be different hopefully, but I do like his PTS+RB prop. Sitting at 40.5, he should clear this number for us. His last five outings, he’s put up 43, 35, 41, 48, and 50 when looking at this prop. Utah’s typical starting five is a mystery tonight, with pretty much the entire squad a game time decision with the exception of Conley.
PROPS: Nikola Jokic: OVER 40.5 PTS+RB
DFS For tonight:
Top plays:
Domantas Sabonis ($9900): Will be without his boys Brogdon and LeVert tonight but has a good match up. He should hit 50+ fantasy points but quiet on the ownership side after a less than par showing recently.
Khris Middleton ($7300): Giannis out for non Covid illness, which puts Middleton up there to crush his projection. Great price but will be on alot of lineups.
On the cheap:
Christian Wood ($6200): Cheap pivot off the big dogs at center. Only risk is he was suspended for Monday’s game where he pulled an AB and refused to enter the game in the second half. Hoping he steps up and shows his worth as he’s back in the starting rotation tonight.
Keifer Sykes ($3300): Another dude who will be heavily owned. At $3300 and with LeVert, Brogdon, and Duarte out for the Pacers, Sykes should be good for 25+ fpts and at this price, i’ll take that all day.
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!
