Thursday’s NBA Schedule, Lines, Probable Starting Lineups, Daily Fantasy Tournament Picks

Washington @ New Orleans (-3.5)   193.5 Total
WAS:  J. Wall, N. Young, C. Singleton, T. Booker, J. McGee
NOR:  J. Jack, M. Belinelli, T. Ariza, G. Ayon, C. Kaman

  • What a mess, just saw that the Wiz traded JaVale McGee and Nick Young, so they’re out tonight.   This is exactly why I hate playing anywhere near the trade deadline.
  • Let’s trade McGee but keep Andray Blatche, yeah that makes perfect sense.
  • Run to the wire and grab Jordan Crawford if he’s still out there.
  • It looks like Greivis Vazquez is losing fantasy value with Jarrett Jack the favorite at PG.
  • John Wall should have a decent game against Jarrett Jack.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Chris Kaman

 

Charlotte @ Dallas (-13.5)  187.5 Total
CHA:  DJ Augustin, G. Henderson, C. Maggette, T. Thomas, B. Biyombo
DAL:  J. Kidd, V. Carter, S. Marion, D. Nowitzki, B. Haywood

  • Gerald Henderson could post a good line against Vince Carter.
  • Rodrigue Beaubois might have some late season fantasy value as the playoffs approach.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Dirk Nowitzki

 

Oklahoma City (-1) @ Denver    212.0 Total
OKC:  R. Westbrook, T. Sefolosha, K. Durant, S. Ibaka, K. Perkins
DEN:  T. Lawson, A. Afflalo, D. Gallinari, Nene, K. Faried

  • Thabo Sefolosha is probable.  Daequan Cook loses his fantasy relevance and James Harden shouldn’t see much change in value.
  • Denver has reportedly just traded Nene for JaVale McGee and Nick Young.  Nene and McGee’s value should hold steady.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Russell Westbrook

 

Minnesota @ Utah (-2.5)    203 Total
MIN:  L. Ridnour, W. Johnson, D. Williams, K. Love, N. Pekovic
UTA:  D. Harris, G. Hayward, J. Howard, P. Millsap, A. Jefferson

  • Michael Beasley is doubtful.  Derrick Williams could see a start at SF.
  • Earl Watson is doubtful.  Devin Harris should pickup a few extra minutes.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Sleeper Pick:  Derrick Williams

 

Phoenix @ LA Clippers (-7)    198 Total
PHO:  S. Nash, J. Dudley, G. Hill, C. Frye, M. Gortat
LAC:  C. Paul, R. Foye, C. Butler, B. Griffin, D. Jordan

  • Jared Dudley has been playing some great basketball and has a pretty good matchup against Randy Foye.
  • The Clippers have acquired Nick Young.  He should plug right in at SG, sending Randy Foye to fantasy obscurity.
  • Blake Griffin has a good matchup in this one and should post a solid line.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Picks:  Marcin Gortat, Blake Griffin
