Quick Hitters (3/01)
- Today's main slate features 7 games, HOU & CHA are on a back to back.
- As of this writing, the game with the highest over/under is CHA v SAC at 238.5 points. The game with the lowest over/under is DET v NY at 214 points.
Need to Know:
Malcolm Brogdon, Jeremy Lamb both Questionable: Brogdon didn’t play last game, and TJ. Mcconnell ($6,100 DK and FD) got the start in his place. He played 46 (!) minutes and put up a 17-12-6 statline. I expect him to get the start again if Brogdon sits, and he should get even more minutes if Lamb sits as well. TJ is also going up against the Sixers (his old team) who are terrible at guarding players with TJ’s player profile; I expect him to come out aggressive and put up some big numbers if Brogdon sits. Make sure you stay updated on Brogdon and Lamb’s statuses tonight.
Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris Questionable: Tobias sat last game as well, and Embiid absolutely went off. In general, I like playing any of the Sixers big three (or both of them) if one of them is out. But I especially love the Embiid/Tobias start/sit pivot; Embiid ($10,600 DK and $10,800 FD) is again a strong play if Tobias sits and Tobias ($7,900 DK and $7,100 FD) a strong play if Embiid sits. If both sit, it should open up TONS of shot attempts and usage for basically every other Sixers player, but especially Simmons ($8,800 DK and $9,000 FD). Make sure you keep an eye out for this news because it could potentially be the biggest of the night.
Gay, Johnson, Vassell, White Out again: This is pretty old news, so prices have basically adjusted, except for Patty Mills ($4,700 DK and $3,900 FD). He’s still extremely underpriced and is in a very positive matchup against a Brooklyn team that is terrible at guarding players with Mills’ player profile. Also, Brooklyn plays at the 6th fastest pace and allows the 4th most points to opposing teams, so this should be a high scoring game. I like Mills on Fanduel especially, where he is simply too cheap at $3,900.
Eric Gordon Questionable: The rockets have been struggling mightily lately, and Eric Gordon being questionable definitely does not help their cause. If Gordon doesn’t play tonight, I think Oladipo ($7,700 DK and $7,600 FD) and John Wall ($8,300 DK and $8,600 FD) could be decent plays. They’re both in positive matchups against a CLE team that isn’t good at guarding players with their player profiles. Also, Wall has been vocal about his frustration with the Rockets struggles, and I think tonight could be a turning point for them. IF it does turn out to be a turning point, it’ll be Wall and Oladipo that lead the charge.
In general, tonight needs to be a night where you monitor injury news down to tip-off.
