Russell Westbrook vs CHI ($10,800) - The Bulls allow over a 100 points a game and OKC scores …. a lot. This looks like it will be a great matchup for Westbrook.
Kevin Durant vs CHI ($10,000) - See Westbrook. I’m not saying to play both of these guys, but at least one of them.
Jimmy Butler vs OKC ($8,000) - OKC vs CHI will be a high scoring game, both teams allow over a 100 points per game and score over a 100 points per game. The Thunder also are allowing shooting guards to average around 40 fantasy points a game. This sounds like a big night for Butler.
Mid Cap Players ($5,000 - $8,000)

Ricky Rubio vs MIA ($7,700) - Rubio has looked great so far, and nearly had a triple-double in his last game. Dragic on the other hand has looked off, so look for Rubio to capitalize.
Nicolas Batum vs DAL ($6,600) - Batum has put up 28+ fantasy points in his last three games and will look to continue that tonight.
Nikola Mirotic vs OKC ($6,000) - See Butler
Mason Plumlee vs MEM ($5,100) - With Meyers Leonard out last night, Plumlee logged 35 minutes and 37 fantasy points. If Leonard is out again I’m rolling with Plumlee.
Small Cap Players ($5,000 and Under)

Marvin Williams vs DAL ($4,800) - I don’t mind taking a risk on Williams, he’s produced 25+ fantasy points in all but one game.
Rodney Hood vs DEN ($4,500) - The Nuggets are allowing 54 fantasy points a game to shooting guards, and Hood has put up 20+ fantasy points in three of his last four games.
