Slate Notes:
- Top Game Stack:
- Hornets @ Nets:
- Key News to watch for:
- Pelicans: will be without Ball, Zion and Ingram. We want to have some pelican exposure tonight. NAW, Hart top the list with Adams, Lewis (pivot off Bledsoe) in play.
- Jarrett Allen and Larry Nance out. Hartenstein becomes my top value.
- Brad Beal – if out, hard not to lock in RWB at the level he is playing. Also a boost to Rui.
- John Collins – Out for Atlanta, Capela primary beneficiary with Gallinari, Bogdan Hunter and Snell in line for a few extra minutes.
- Potential Slate Edge:
- Steph Curry – Heat allow most 3’s attempts forcing their opponents to beat them from deep. They give up 3rd most 3’s per game.
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.
