Grant has a usage rate of 27.3% this season. Grant has not been as consistent as he was last season but he is still putting up huge games for the Pistons due to his elite usage rate. Johnson has at least 20 fantasy points in each of those games and is averaging 26.6 fantasy points in those games. Johnson has played at least 27 minutes in the three games that Booker has either been out or limited and is averaging 15 points, 4.7 rebounds, two assists, and 1.4 steals+blocks. Since Booker’s injury, Johnson has really stepped up. Small ForwardĬameron Johnson ($4,400 DK, $4,100 FD) Team Totalĭevin Booker went down with an injury after only playing 15 minutes against the Warriors three games ago. We should see similar production from Giddey tonight as he takes on a bad Pistons team that ranks in the bottom ten in defensive net rating and points allowed per game. In the two previous games that Shai missed, Giddey averaged 17 points, seven rebounds, eight assists, 1.5 steals+blocks, and 37.4 fantasy points. Giddey is expected to return to the Thunder’s lineup tonight and he is one of my top points per dollar plays on this slate as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is slated to miss tonight’s game. Let’s also remember that Jimmy Butler is iffy to go once again tonight and if he were to miss tonight’s game once again Herro would have an even higher usage rate. Memphis has the fourth-worst team defensive net rating and is allowing the fifth-most points per game this season. What I love the most about Herro tonight to go along with his high usage rate is the match-up against Memphis. Herro has taken at least 16 shots in 11 straight games for the Heat and has a usage rate of 29.2% which is the 16th highest in the NBA this season. While the peripheral stats are encouraging when it comes to Herro I am still playing him due to his scoring ability and high usage rate. While Herro did shoot under 25% from the field in that game against the Bucks he was able to add nine rebounds, six assists, and two steals to his 15 points on his way to 37.8 fantasy points. Herro is struggling with his shot right now which has led to some down games recently but that was not the case against the Bucks. While asking for 36 fantasy points again tonight is probably asking for a lot we should be able to see Smith produce in the 25 fantasy point range as the minutes are still going to be there and that level of production would easily pay off his salary. In those minutes, Smith went for 18/5/7 with a steal on his way to 36.5 fantasy points. Smith got the start for the Hornets last night due to both Terry Rozier and LaMelo Ball being in Covid Protocols and played really well in his 32 minutes. Ishmael Smith ($3,400 DK, $4,500 FD) Team Total

had at least 20 fantasy points which are the three games that Lillard on his own had previously missed. That was the third straight game that Smith Jr. went for 21/4/6 with three steals on his way to 43.8 fantasy points. started and played 37 minutes against Boston. With both of those players out last game, Smith Jr.

was a fantasy asset but that is exactly what he is tonight with both Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons out. It has been a very long time since Smith Jr. ($5,300 DK, $5,000 FD) Team Totalįantasy Points Allowed Per Game to Position Remember to always keep your eye on the news as the day progresses, as NBA news changes the slate frequently.ĭennis Smith Jr. In this article, we will be breaking down some of our favorite plays on the slate at their positions.
