SLATE OVERVIEW
For the latest spreads and over-unders, visit RotoWire's NBA Odds page. There, you can also find player props, futures, picks articles and sportsbook bonus codes.
Our exposure to Chicago and Washington was high, and there are other Wizards available that didn't quite make our endorsement list.
INJURIES
For all the latest updates, visit RotoWire's NBA Injury News page and our comprehensive NBA Injury Report. Below are some of the most recent and relevant injuries for [day]. Keep in mind that this is not a complete list. Use your best judgment when evaluating ongoing injury scenarios elsewhere on the slate.
SAC De'Aaron Fox (ankle) - DOUBTFUL
Although Fox was able to record a practice, there's a chance that he'll miss one more game. Davion Mitchell ($4,300) and Malik Monk ($5,900) will be solid options if Fox misses again.
ELITE PLAYERS
Giannis Antetokounmpo ($11,800) tops our slate, and while I don't consider him a must-have player, he's set up for a productive game against the Bulls. Despite sizing up opposite Jarrett Allen, Domantas Sabonis ($10,100) is our best option up top, and we can get him at three different slots due to his dual eligibility. I'm not interested in much above 8k, but that will help us to get more than two elites involved.
Also consider: Jalen Brunson, NYK
($8,000) @ BOS
EXPECTED CHALK AND OTHER TARGETS
Pascal Siakam, TOR
($7,700) vs. WAS
Siakam is currently performing a bit under his projections, but this is a good high-paced matchup against the Wizards. Siakam has the edge over Daniel Gafford in this one, and I'd be happy with a 40-FDFP total.
Zach LaVine, CHI
($7,700) @ MIL
We want to focus on more budget options to get the elites in, but I like Lavine at this salary. DeMar DeRozan has a tougher defensive matchup, but I think LaVine can get some open looks opposite Malik Beasley. I wouldn't discount DeRozan completely, but try to avoid stacking the Chicago duo.
Jrue Holiday, BOS
($7,000) vs. NYK
Holiday's salary continues to creep up, but his totals make the increase viable. The key to a good total for Holiday has been in the assist department, and I think he'll be able to get the ball inside to Tatum and Horford against the Knicks.
Caris LeVert, CLE
($6,300) @ SAC
You never know when LeVert will blow up, but he should have room to move against the Kings. He still needs to establish a solid floor, so he's a better option for GPPs. With De'Aaron Fox out of the lineup, Sacramento's swing men will be less effective as they concentrate on fulfilling other roles. If LeVert's jumper is dialed in, be ready for a big total.
VALUE PLAYS
Deni Avdija, WAS
($5,900) @ TOR
We need 30 FDFPs to make Avdija worthwhile, and he's hit that mark twice over the past four games. We've also endorsed his backup below, so try to avoid rostering both of them. You can take a stance on one of them - set it and forget it.
Bobby Portis, MIL
($5,700) vs. CHI
At Portis' salary, he's a good value candidate who will provide support against a talented Chicago squad. Milwaukee's second unit is better than Chicago's backups, so expect a decent second quarter from Portis while the rotation is featured.
Bilal Coulibaly, WAS ($4,000) @ TOR
It would be wiser to see if Coulibaly's 42.9-FDFP game against the Nets was a fluke, and the back-to-back game may not be the best time to test it. However, this salary is begging for an add based on the upside potential. He's yet to play a back-to-back game, so there are a lot of checks against him, but if you're willing to take the risk, he can save you a lot of cash.
