Key Injury News to Watch:
Los Angeles Clippers – Kawhi and Paul George are questionable. Should Kawhi and Paul George actually sit, Lou Williams, Serge Ibaka and Reggie Jackson would become top level plays. If one plays, I like that guy as a low-owned GPP hammer but you got to wait and risk it as it’s a stand-alone late game.
Boston Celtics – Jaylen Brown is questionable with a leg injury. He finished the game vs ATL but had one of his worst shooting performances of the year so he’s a true 50/50 decision. Should he sit Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker and Payton Pritchard would get a nice GPP bump.
Golden State Warriors – Draymond Green is questionable and with it being the front end of the back-to-back I’m expecting Draymond to miss one more game so he can play the Charlotte game that means so much to Steph. Should Draymond miss, Kent Bazemore is once again a fantastic option with Damion Lee, Kelly Oubre Jr and Toscano-Anderson also getting a bump. If Draymond plays he’s one of my favorite plays on the entire slate.
Key Games:
With so much injury news TBD, I can’t write up key games yet. I’ll be sure to mention the key games at the end of the livestream!
Slate Edges: Fade Giannis and hope for the blowout and play Ben Simmons in GPP’s instead; Stay flexible because there is a ton of news, if in doubt on this slate play the guy who starts later so you leave yourself more flexibility to late-swap.
