Stream of the Game
If you’re going anywhere here (besides Jalen Williams, who really needs to be full-time rostered in all leagues by now), it’s in the messy OKC frontcourt. Considering the matchup with Joel Embiid we’d generally steer clear, but Kenrich Williams is your best streaming option for all-around production and remains the choice today even with a massive size disadvantage.
Boston Celtics @ Brooklyn Nets
Game Time: 7:30 pm ET
Injury Report
Celtics: OUT: Danilo Gallinari (left ACL), Al Horford (rest); QUESTIONABLE: Jaylen Brown (left adductor tightness)
Nets: OUT: Kevin Durant (right MCL sprain); PROBABLE: Nic Claxton (left shoulder impingement)
Stream of the Game
Grant Williams figures to be the safest of all of your plays here because of his playing-time floor, though he’s not going to necessarily help you in any one category outside of triples — his boost is more subtle. If you’re chasing certain stats, Seth Curry is a fine roll of the dice for 3-pointers and points, while TJ Warren is more of a pure scoring play. Payton Pritchard should be in the mix too if Brown is ruled out.
Charlotte Hornets @ Toronto Raptors
Game Time: 7:30 pm ET
Injury Report
Hornets: OUT: Kelly Oubre (left hand surgery); DOUBTFUL: Gordon Hayward (left hamstring soreness)
Raptors: OUT: Otto Porter (left foot surgery)

Thrive Prop Plays of the Day
Thrive Prop Plays of the Day
Bam Adebayo O 34.5 PTS+REBS+ASTS (105 Points)- If it’s Bam and Jimmy vs the world, I’m taking Bam and Jimmy. Bam does a lot on the court and he’s going to be used in every possible way with the amount of players out tonight.
Fred VanVleet O 6.5 ASTS (100 Points)- Fred has been rolling with the assists; I’ve said this before, the Raptors know how to attack matchups and I’m sure they’re going to do that again in this one, meaning more facilitating for FVV.
DFS Pillar Play
LeBron James
Position: SF/PF
Salary: $10,900
The real is back, the ville is back. Flow bananas, peel is back. I have definitely come to terms that Luka is going to eat up against Los Angeles but one thing I know is that LeBron doesn’t care for fun, it’s all business and he’s going to keep it competitive till the final buzzer sounds. For that reason and also the fact that LeBron is the greatest player of all-time, I’m living and dying by LeBron. Runner up: Tatum $10,500
DFS Value Plays (<$5,000 Salary)
Lu Dort
Position: SF
Salary: $4,800
This slate doesn’t have a lot of great options for under 5k, it is mainly top heavy, but Lu is under 5k and I love it; He’s also the cheapest he’s been in a long time. One thing I know about Dort is that he’s a very smart defender and one guy he knows the most is James Harden. We all know how much pressure he put on Harden when OKC played Houston a couple years ago in the playoffs, so why not have Lu matchup with Harden all night? I’m sure they’re going to go that way which ultimately equates to minutes and I’m running with it.
