Suns vs Trail Blazers. With only 3 games on the NBA Main slate tonight, you will need to find a game to stack. The problem is that all 3 games should be blowouts causing the slate to be a little harder than it looks. We will continue to take Tyler Ulis almost every time he is on the slate for two reason: He plays a ton of minutes, and he always finds a way to hit value regardless of the matchup. The Trailblazers are solid versus point guards especially at home this year, but Tyler Ulis should see another 37-40 minute run again making him an excellent start in such a small slate.
His counterpart Devin Booker has also been on a tear lately, and will look continue his scoring barrage against CJ McCollum, who is a very underrated defender in the league. The blowout is what scares us the most in this game, but the Suns have been hanging in some tough games lately, so hopefully this game stays close tonight. Overall, this game is going to be one of the highest scoring slate of the night meaning that you should target a few players in this game.

Rockets vs Warriors. ESPN has two great games being televised tonight, and this is one of them. The red hot Warriors face the Houston Rockets in a game where Houston is seeking revenge after a rough loss to them a few nights ago. Houston is on a back to back, so try and keep James Harden out of your lineups tonight especially with the blowout factor in play. The player we are keying in on tonight is Klay Thompson, who has found his rhythm, and looks to continue that momentum into tonight’s home matchup against a Rockets team that rank 6th worst in defending shooting guards. This game is going to have a ton of scoring, so make sure you lock 2-3 players in this game when making your teams tonight.
Our bold prediction tonight- Klay Thompson has 40+ regular points, 30 of which come in the first half.

James Harden and the Houston Rockets go into Portland to face one of the hottest teams in basketball. Josef Nurkic is the hottest center in basketball, and he gets a matchup against a Rockets team that ranks 4th worst in the NBA in defending opposing centers. Nurkic is coming off a 33 point and 16 rebound game, and looks to continue his dominance in the paint in a game that is going to stay close and have a ton of scoring. The spread is -1 Houston, which means that you want to target this game as much as you can. Any player in this game is a good start especially because both teams rank in the top 6 in the NBA in scoring, and top 10 in most points allowed per game in the NBA. Target this game, and watch the thriller between Damian Lillard and James Harden on TNT.

Thunder vs Magic. Victor Oladipo returns home to Orlando to face the team that drafted him. The Thunder look to stay hot as they take on a Magic that has been up and down all year. Russell Westbrook is an absolute machine, and the only thing slowing him down is a blowout. It does not matter what matchup he is in, he should be rostered in at least one of your lineups. The Magic are the 8th worst team in the NBA in defending opposing point guards, which means Russell Westbrook is going to be in for yet another triple double. We predict that he gets a triple double in his first 20 minutes of action against the Magic tonight. His teammate Victor Oladipo is going to make a statement early and going to take a ton of shots, which means Westbrook’s assists numbers will pile up very quickly.
This duo is a great way to start your team. The spread may only say -6 OKC, but we think that Westbrook takes care of them very early and puts on a clinic. If this game stays close, look for Westbrook to put up insane numbers once again tonight. Overall, this game is going to be uptempo and high scoring, which means that it is a good game to target.

NBA Fantasy Must Starts
The red hot Rockets play the red hot Warriors in a game you must target if you want to win. This game has a 234 over/under and a -1.5 Houston spread meaning this game should stay close. James Harden slowed down just a bit last game, but his team played well enough to pull through with a win. The real man to target is Eric Gordon who will be in the starting lineup once again with Ryan Anderson sidelined. He poured in 24 points last game and is a MUST START tonight especially at his price point on FanDuel and DraftKings. Plug him into your lineups and then build your team.
On the Warriors side of things, look for the Big 3 to all play great in a matchup that is going to be filled with scoring. The splash brothers need to step their game in order for this game to stay close. Overall, this game is going to be a thriller and you should definitely target this game if you want to win.

Grizzlies vs Warriors Game Preview
Grizzlies vs Warriors. Two teams that may meet in the playoffs square off tonight in Golden State for a game that has a spread at -10 GS. We believe that the game will stay a bit closer to that as long as Marc Gasol plays. The best player in this game is Mike Conley, who faces a Warriors defense that is in the middle of the pack against defending point guards. Steph Curry defensively is not good at all, so look for Mike Conley, who is a very great playmaker and scorer, to fully take advantage of this matchup and put up a nice solid performance. This game is on the late night slate and not Main slate so be aware.
We do not recommend any kind of stack players in this game, but do recommend taking only Mike Conley and really nobody else at all in this game especially that the other two games on the late night slate are going to be filled with scoring. Overall, this game should be fun to watch, but not the best slate to target in terms of daily fantasy sports.

NBA Preview Thunder vs Rockets
The two front runners for MVP are squaring off in Houston for a game that is going to be insane. Russell Westbrook and the Thunder have been really great lately, but are in a really tough matchup tonight against a Rockets team that has been on a roll. Westbrook and Harden are going to be going back and forth tonight in a game that is going to be high scoring, and very close. The player that we like the most tonight isn’t either of them though… Eric Gordon is our must start player tonight with Ryan Anderson being sidelined. If Eric Gordon starts at the Small Forward Position tonight, start him without a question. Stack this game since the over/under is outrageous, and be sure to add Harden or Westbrook in your lineup tonight.

Pelicans vs Rockets. Last time these two teams met, the Pelicans snuck away a win without Demarcus Cousins. The Rockets are coming back for vengeance tonight, and James Harden is the one that is going to tear it up, if this game can stay close. James Harden’s stats against the Pelicans this year are insane, and at home tonight, he should have a field day against a porous Pelicans team.
On the other side, Demarcus Cousins is coming off of one of his best games of the season, and looks to continue his dominance tonight as the Rockets rank 4th worst in the NBA against opposing centers. This game is going to very high scoring, but the blowout factor is always in effect when teams play the Rockets in Houston, so be aware.

Cavaliers vs Nuggets. The game of the night comes right here as two high-intensity teams square off in Denver. Both teams are top of the league in scoring and pace, so there is going to be a ton of scoring. This is the game to stack. Kyrie Irving and LeBron James are definitely start players especially with the other games on the slate expected to be low-scoring. Kyrie Irving takes on a Nuggets defense that is the second worst team in the NBA at defending opposing point guards. Therefore, we see Kyrie Irving the best player on the entire slate. Furthermore, he should be in for a field day matched up against Jameer Nelson, who does not stand a chance against the speedy Kyrie.
This game is going to stay very close, and the Nuggets are looking to bounce back from two losses to the Rockets. Both of those games ended in the final seconds with the same result. The Cavaliers on the other hand are attempting to keep the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference locked up for the playoffs. Stack this game if possible, because this one will be a high-paced thriller.
Bold Prediction– Will Barton hits a game winning buzzer beater three as the shot clock expires.
