Langston Galloway+Alexey Shved- Galloway and Shved are both coming off great games, and with the Knicks’ injuries, they are seeing plenty of minutes. Then, throw in the fact that they face the Sixers, who are allowing 46 fantasy points a game to point guards over the last ten games.
Ish Smith-Smith is averaging 28 fantasy points over his last five games, and faces the Knicks, who have allowed point guards to score 49 fantasy points a game over the last five games.
Dwyane Wade-Wade has looked great in this latest stretch, you could honestly say this is the healthiest he has looked in years. He also is averaging 41 fantasy points a game over the last five games, and the team he faces tonight is giving up 40 fantasy point a game to shooting guards over the last five. It seems like a perfect match.
Victor Oladipo- The Magic have been dealing with some injuries, so the minutes are there, and he has been playing great. He also faces the Blazers, who are giving up 41 fantasy points a game to shooting guards over the last five games.
Nicolas Batum- Orlando is allowing the third most fantasy points to small forwards over the last five games, and Batum is looking for a bounce back game.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist- Kidd-Gilchrist is facing the Kings who have struggled against small forwards, and are allowing the second most fantasy points to small forwards over the last five games and the last ten games.
LaMarcus Aldridge- Aldridge is averaging 42 fantasy points a game over his last five games, I think they he should do the same thing tonight.
Paul Millsap- Millsap has a great matchup, I have a hard time seeing the OKC bigs staying in front of Millsap. OKC also is giving up 44 fantasy points a game to power forwards over the last five games.
Kenneth Faried-Faried has been great since the departure of Shaw, that should continue tonight as well. The Heat are giving up 43 fantasy points a game to power forwards over the last five games.
DeMarcus Cousins- If Cousins plays, he will dominate.
Hassan Whiteside- I don’t think anyone on Denver will be able to deal with his size and length, I could see Whiteside having a big night.
