Raptors, raptors, raptors. The raptors are facing off with the Magic tonight in Toronto, and while the Magic are hot, the fact that the Raptors are only favored by 3 in this game seems kinda ridiculous to me. This line gives way too much respect to a Magic team that has a 3 game winning streak against the Wizards (bad), Spurs (struggling) and Sixers (without Embiid). I don’t buy it, Raptors are my pick tonight. That’s really the only NBA game I love tonight.
In terms of DFS, I like the Nets backcourt tonight without Kyrie and Levert playing. Dinwiddie has been hot and Garrett Temple is gonna get a lot of PT. I also like Alec Burks at a guard spot, he has been the primary source of offense for a bad Warriors team and is still cheap. I like Danuel House at the forward spot, he was consistently a $5000+ price on DK before his injury and played great in his return, his price will be much higher soon. I would also target Lauri Markkanen today, he’s way too cheap for how good of a player he is, and the Pistons defense is weak. At the center spot, I would invest in Pascal Siakam, I see him having a huge game against the Magic.
My optimal lineup today:
PG Dinwiddie
SG Burks
SF House
PF Markannen
C Siakam
G Temple
F Bertans
UTIL Trae Young
