Slate Notes:
- Top Game Stack:
- Trailblazers @ Wizards: This one sets up as a fantastic game stack with both sides offering up some of the slates top spends while also featuring several value options. Utilizing Dame + RWB/Beal with 2-3 value pieces is perfectly viable.
- Key News to watch for:
- Norm Powell – Currently Q. With OG already out, Powell would see minutes in the mid 30’s and be a solid play. If Powell were to sit we get solid value with Terence Davis again.
- Nick Batum – currently listed as Q: if out, Marcus Morris would likely slide into starting lineup and see 30+ minutes.
- Nassir Little: Currently Q: If in, solid value at 3.1k on DK. If out, Melo and Simons primary beneficiaries.
- Potential Slate Edge:
- Davis Bertans
General Thoughts/Strategy:
- Chalk: Unlike other sports, chalk in NBA is not always a bad thing, even in GPP’s. I’m much more willing to play a 40% owned James Harden than I am any baseball player at that ownership. NBA is far more predictable, especially those with established roles as we progress through the season.
