Andre Drummond vs PHO ($9,300) - Drummond has been a MONSTER this season. His last game, 60+ fantasy points.
Eric Bledsoe vs DET ($8,100) - Bledsoe has put up 44+ fantasy points in two of his last three games, and faces a team that allows the third most fantasy points to shooting guards. This could be another big night for Bledsoe
Mid Cap Players ($5,000 - $8,000)

Brook Lopez vs LAL ($7,900) - I expect LAL vs BKN to be a high scoring game, both teams suck at defense. And to no surprise, the Lakers allow centers to average over 50 fantasy points a game. I’m thinking my man Brook might have his best game of the season.
Ty Lawson vs SAC ($6,800) - Lawson is coming off his two best games of the season, and faces a Kings team that allows point guards to average over 40 fantasy points a game.
Jordan Clarkson vs BKN ($6,600) - Clarkson is coming off a 30 point game and faces one of the worst defenses in the league tonight.
Joe Johnson vs LAL ($6,100) - Joe hasn’t looked great this season, but it doesn’t help when you are defended by the likes of Jimmy Butler, Kawhi Leonard, Tony Allen, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. So with an easier matchup, Joe should capitalize.
Marcus Morris vs PHO ($5,800) - There is no doubt that this game has extra meaning for Morris, and throw in the fact the Suns allow small forwards to average 36+ fantasy points a game. I’m playing Morris tonight.
Thaddeus Young vs LAL ($5,600) - Young has picked it up, averaging over 28 fantasy points a game over his last three. Plus, Young plays the Lakers who allow almost 50 fantasy points a game to power forwards.
Otto Porter Jr, vs BOS ($5,500) - Porter is averaging around 25 fantasy points a game, and the Celtics allow the most fantasy points to small forwards in the league.
Small Cap Players ($5,000 - Under)

Kristaps Porzingis vs MIL ($5,000) - Back to back big games for the rookie and another nice matchup tonight against the Bucks. A team that allows over 40 fantasy points a game to power forwards.
Marcus Thornton vs SAC ($4,100) - With all of the injuries in Houston, Thornton has picked up minutes and has hit value in every game he's played. Throw in the fact he faces an old team, Thornton should be able to hit over value tonight.
