Tonight’s slate features a strong 10-game lineup, all of which are included on the main slate which tips off at 7:00 p.m. EST. No team is operating on a back-to-back, ensuring maximum freshness and plenty of options for you to construct your lineups tonight. Be sure to monitor the injury report though, with many key players on the fence.

Point Guard
Luka Doncic (PG – DAL): $10,700 vs. MEM
Before we begin, Doncic is currently listed as questionable for this game with an illness, though it appears that he’ll likely play (pay attention to the injury report). Not only is Luka a special talent capable of contributing across the board on any given night, but he’s currently 2nd in the NBA in usage rate, already has the most triple-doubles in Dallas Mavericks history, and opposes the 16th-ranked defense in the Memphis Grizzlies, which also operate at a quick pace, ranking 7th in the NBA. If he’s good to play, feel good about firing up Luka tonight.

Trae Young (PG – ATL): $9,900 @ WAS
Tonight’s slate is littered with star options, and Young is at the forefront of it all with his tremendous matchup against the Washington Wizards. The Wizards present a beautiful matchup for the Atlanta Hawks, ranking 30th in defensive rating and 5th in pace. Young is coming off a 22.2-point stinker in his last outing but has been largely dominant dating back all the way to February 10th. A fast-paced game is exactly the environment you want a shooter like Young in.
Shooting Guard
Kevin Huerter (SG – ATL): $5,000 @ WAS
Young won’t be the only player I suggest in the Hawks – Wizards matchup, and with good reason. The matchup currently leads the implied totals by a wide margin, with the line landing at 245.5. Huerter obviously doesn’t carry the same upside as Young but has been a very solid contributor in his own right over his last seven games. In those seven games, Huerter failed to reach value only one time in a tough matchup against the Orlando Magic.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SG – OKC): $7,000 @ NY
The returns from SGA have been hard to peg over the last few weeks, with one performance leading to a dominant night (totaled 44.9 FanDuel points in his last game) or a stinker (scored only 15.6 points three games ago against the Milwaukee Bucks). The New York Knicks are a terrible team through-and-through, providing SGA with an opportunity to do well and build off a strong performance, particularly because the Knicks are a below-average defense.
Small Forward
T.J. Warren (SF – IND): $6,700 @ CHI
The Indiana Pacers are currently banged up with starting PG Malcolm Brogdon ruled out for tonight’s contest, though Warren is also nursing an injury and is currently listed as questionable due to a leg laceration. If Warren goes, he’s a great option at the small forward spot with his usage rate taking a strong upward trajectory due to the absence of Brogdon. Warren is a natural scorer and has the ability to do it in spades, even in a tough matchup like the Bulls present tonight.
De’Andre Hunter (SF – ATL): $4,600 @ WAS
Once again, I’ve returned to the same well between the Hawks and Wizards, and again with good reason. The matchup is a fantastic one for both sides, and the Hawks provide a lot of lower-priced options that are likely to hit/crush value on a slate littered with stars, giving you the opportunity to load up on stars and to complement with sure bets. Hunter has played very well over his last seven games, only missing value one time in a tough matchup against the Magic.
Power Forward
Trey Lyles (PF – SA): $5,200 @ BKN
Starting PF LaMarcus Aldridge is once again expected to be sidelined due to injury, and one of the main beneficiaries in his absence has been Lyles. Lyles has registered 32+ minutes of playing time in three straight games since Aldridge’s injury, totaling 47.8, 35.2, and 18.6 FanDuel points in those three games. Tonight’s matchup is also a good one as the Brooklyn Nets struggle to defend opposing big men.
Maxi Kleber (PF – DAL): $4,900 vs. MEM
In his last two games, Kleber registered 33 and 39 minutes of playing time, scoring 34.5 and 37.4 FanDuel points in those same contests. Kleber’s upside is certainly capped playing on a team with Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, but he’s been able to produce by scooping boards and chipping in on the defensive end of the ball. This is a major pace-up spot for Kleber and the Mavericks, which is why I feel alright with double-dipping on Mavericks players.
Center
Myles Turner (C – IND): $6,000 @ CHI
In his last contest against the Chicago Bulls, Turner exploded to the tune of 55.3 FanDuel points, registering a 27-14-3-2-1 line in that contest. Once again, the matchup has come around, but now includes an injury to Brogdon that will sideline the starting point guard for the Pacers. Just like Warren, Turner will receive a usage boost with Brodgon sidelined, and the Bulls present a good matchup for the versatile big man.
