January 8, 2023, 1:44 pmPhiladelphia 76ers @ Detroit Pistons
Game Time: 3:00 pm ET
Injury Report
76ers: OUT: Joel Embiid (left foot soreness), PJ Tucker (illness)
Pistons: OUT: Cade Cunningham (left shin), Isaiah Livers (right shoulder sprain), Marvin Bagley (right finger fracture); QUESTIONABLE: Jalen Duren (right ankle soreness), Rodney McGruder (illness)
Stream of the Game
With Embiid sidelined and Paul Reed seemingly out of the rotation, Montrezl Harrell is the player to target in the hopes that he can continue to deliver with defensive stats alongside his typical production in the points and rebounds department. Georges Niang looks like a reasonable bet for some 3-pointers today too, while Matisse Thybulle can be a desperation option for defensive stats. That goes for Nerlens Noel on the other side of this matchup, but only if Duren can’t play.
Portland Trail Blazers @ Toronto Raptors
Game Time: 3:30 pm ET
Injury Report
Trail Blazers: OUT: Justise Winslow (left ankle sprain), Nassir Little (right femoral head fracture); PROBABLE: Jusuf Nurkić (illness), Gary Payton II (right ankle sprain)
Raptors: OUT: Otto Porter (left toe dislocation)
Stream of the Game
There isn’t a ton here, with Nurkic playing enough to keep Drew Eubanks at bay. Your best option may be Gary Payton II as a pure steals specialist.

Thrive Prop Plays of the Day
Thrive Prop Plays of the Day
Rudy Gobert O 25.5 PTS+RBDs (100 PTS) – Gobert has been on a roll recently and has finally been able to grow into a Top-8 center we all thought he was. He just had a 20/20 game against Zubac and now faces a Rockets team allowing 21 PPG and 13 RPG to Centers this season.
Shai Gilgeous Alexander O 29.5 PTS (95 PTS) – Shai has been a monster this season, scoring at least 30 PPG in 5 of his last 9 and has scored 38 and 42 against the Mavs already this season. Luka seems to save his energy for offense which allows Shai to burst by him for buckets.
DFS Pillar Play
John Collins
Position: PF/C
Salary: $6,800
I am playing 100% John Collins lately. Rumors are he wants out of Atlanta and he’s playing like he’s being showcased for other teams—averaging 38.4 FPG the last two games.
DFS Value Plays (<$5,000 Salary)
Victor Oladipo
Position: PG/SG
Salary: $5,000
Victor Oladipo is exactly $5000 and he’s a great nightly start in DFS…and if he’s still out there in your season-long league? Grab him now. He’s nearly back to his All-Star form from three years ago and he’s a lock for 6x value most nights in DFS.
