Monday’s slate was nuts. It felt like most of the NBA was on the injury report, and that’s become commonplace with most of these cards. The good news is that we only have three games here and one of the shortest injury reports in recent memory. That has me excited to break this Tuesday card down because it can be frustrating when so many players are sidelined. With that in mind, let’s start by looking at the schedule and odds.

Core Plays
Anfernee Simons (PG/SG – POR): $8,100 DraftKings, $8,400 FanDuel
Simons is impossible to fade on such a short slate. He’s taken over this Portland offense in the absence of Damian Lillard, leading the team with a 32 percent usage rate. He’s also playing nearly 40 minutes while taking 20 shots a game, leading to the best stretch of his career. He’s scored at least 32 DraftKings points in 15 of his last 16 games, generating a 39-point average in that span. The Clippers are usually a concerning matchup, but they’re allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season with PG13 and Kawhi sidelined.
