The NBA has presented us with a full slate of 12 games. Some of these match-ups I have been looking forward to for over a week. I’ve listed a few players who have a history of domination against the teams they’ll be facing tonight. I believe history will repeat itself! Here’s some of the players I’ll add to my Draft$treet roster for Friday night’s $300 NBA Freeroll
Mike Conley Jr. PG Memphis Grizzlies ($15,418) I’m not sure if you’ve noticed or not but Conley’s minutes have gone up by seven minutes. He had been logging in a steady 35 but lately he’s been playing at a 42 minute clip. Like it wasn’t value starting him at 35 now we’re getting an extra seven minutes? Without the extra boost in price to boot! The Grizzlies have been the hottest show in town and Conley is an integral part of the reason why they have been so hot.
Projection: 18 pts / 6 ast / 5 reb / 1 blk / 4 stl
Tony Parker PG San Antonio Spurs: 41 Fantasy Points
Jameer Nelson PG Orlando Magic: 34 Fantasy Points
Jeffery Taylor SG Charlotte Bobcats ($8,220) I’m figuring that before Taylor’s value and any impact regarding it dropped significantly, that now is the best time to grab him. After a start the other night against the Knicks, it seems as though he’ll continue to start and get big minutes while Henderson is still on the mend. You don’t have to worry about his price because it is low on every site. Word to the wise: Anytime that you can get a starter for the price you’re getting Taylor for, jump on it!
Projection: 16 pts / 3 ast / 4 reb / 3 stl
Tayshaun Prince SG Detroit Pistons: 33 Fantasy Points
Chandler Parsons SF Houston Rockets ($14,860) This kid has the talent and poise to be one helluva pro once given the time. He shows that he can explode on the scene anytime. Note the game versus the Knicks when Chandler exploded for 31 points in that match-up. Granted, you won’t be getting that obviously every night but Parsons can fill the void if needed. It’s needed. He’s an extremely low priced option with huge upside!
Projection: 21 pts / 5 ast / 7 reb / 1 blk / 2 stl
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist SF Charlotte Bobcats: 39 Fantasy Points
David Lee PF Golden State Warriors ($17,026) Nothing to really go over here other than Lee crushes the Nets each time that he faces them. Lee’s recent average versus the ‘Boys from Brooklyn’ is as follows; 20 points, 6 assists and 13 rebounds. He’ll post-up a better, that’s right better, stat line here tonight. No one will touch.
Projection: 25 pts / 7 ast / 15 reb / 1 stl
Paul Millsap PF Utah Jazz: 51 Fantasy Points
Roy Hibbert C Indiana Pacers ($12,834) Hibbert is coming off a match-up where he scored 10 points (5-of-11 FG) with 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocked shots while logging in 34 minutes Tuesday night in the Pacers win over the Bulls. Remember that Hibbert can block shots. He has been a literal machine in that department and keep in mind that you get double points for blocks. Hibbert has the ability to achieve a massive stat line in this match-up, he’ll be covered by Koufas all night and that won’t cause any problems here.
Projection: 14 pts / 3 ast / 11 reb / 4 blk / 1 stl
Nikola Pekovic C Minnesota Timberwolves: 37 Fantasy Points
Nikola Vucevic C Orlando Magic: 36 Fantasy Points
