NBA Fantasy Picks 1/7/2018.
We are back with another edition of NBA Fantasy Today and their are awesome match ups for this 4 game NBA slate today!
Kristaps Porzingis PF 9100. Man has Porgo been flat lately. Don't let the the 14 shot attempts in the last few games fool you. The Knicks feed the ball to the hot hand on any given night. If Porzingis gets it going you can except 25+ shots out of him. The entire year he has never gone more than 3 games flat. The Mavericks rank near dead last defending the PF position this year. Dirk is just too old. I expect low ownership on him this evening. Great opportunity to jump in.
Julius Randle C 6600. The price on Randle is quietly creeping up. The Lakers are going to him down the stretch though. When he is on the floor he contributes in all categories. The Hawks do not even have a true center. Even better Randle will come off the bench as the 6th man and face the Hawks 2nd unit front court. On a night where center looks shaky no matter who you pick, I will happily take the upside Randle brings to the table.
Tyler Ulis PG 3900. Cannon did not practice yesterday. That is a good sign he will sit once again and Ulis will see 30+ minutes. I get it, he has tough match up against Westbrook. We don't need to see much though at his 3900 price tag. He looks like the best value on the slate. Unfortunately expect high ownership on a short slate.
Paul George SF 8100. This is a prime opportunity for George to find some rhythm after the mild injury he suffered. Warren for the Suns is not 100 right now. There is simply no one on the Suns unit to contest SF as talented as George. His makes are on the rise in the last 3. He went 12 for 16 against the Clippers last game. His floor is just too high to shy away from on this short slate. Play with confidence.
Bryn Forbes SG 3500. Here is a value play that might go overlooked. Forbes has played 30+ minutes in the last 2 games. One game was close and the other was a blowout. He took 16 shots in the blowout against the Suns last game. Looks like Pop is attempting to meld him into the rotation on a consistent basis. At 3500 and a solid floor, I will be diving in with both hand this evening.
Good luck today! Thank you for following
