Kevin Durant vs. HOU ($10,400) - KD is returning to form and the Rockets allow around 40 fantasy points a night to small forwards. Sounds like it could be a big night for Durant if the Rockets can keep it close.
LaMarcus Aldridge vs. NYK ($8300) - Coach Popovich gave Aldridge a pep talk before last night's game and paid off (50 fantasy points). I think Aldridge carries that over to his matchup tonight and takes advantage of the Knicks’ power forwards.
Mid Cap Players ($5,000-$8,000)

Ricky Rubio vs. POR ($7,700) - Rubio has a great matchup tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers, who give up the second most fantasy points per game to point guards. It could be another big night for Rubio.
Michael Carter-Williams vs. BKN ($7000) - MCW is a pretty safe bet tonight, he has put up at least 28 fantasy points in all of three games this season. Plus, he faces a bad Nets defense that will likely have issues with his size at point guard.
Serge Ibaka vs. HOU ($6,900) - Ibaka is coming off his best game this season (41 fantasy points) and is facing a banged up Houston front court.
Giannis Antetokounmpo vs. BKN ($6,500) - The Greek Freak has started the season with a 40 point fantasy game and a 35 point fantasy game, not bad for someone priced at $6,500.
Small Cap Players ($5000 - under)

J.J. Redick vs. PHO ($4,900) - I wasn’t in love with a lot of the shooting guard matchups until I saw that Reddick put up 23 points on 8-9 shooting in his last game. Talk about efficient, if Reddick stays hot and the Clippers can get him some more shots it could be a big night for him.
Corey Brewer vs. OKC ($4100) - Brewer has hit around value every game, and could see extra minutes with Trevor Ariza playing 41 minutes last night.The Rockets also could use some extra scoring against OKC.
Festus Ezeli vs. MEM ($3,500) - Festus will get the start again, and in this matchup he might have to play big minutes. So at $3,500 I’m happy to take him.
