Atlanta Hawks @ Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Lines
ATL +12 (+500), CLE -12 (-700)
Game Total 239Key Storylines
Rolling With Dyson: It seems that the Hawks are doing the right thing and rolling along with Dyson Daniels despite getting both Bogdan Bogdanovic and De’Andre Hunter back recently. The fact Daniels started and logged 35 minutes last game is a very encouraging sign for his fantasy value moving forward. Let’s hope it continues.Â
On A Heater: Ty Jerome continues to put up strong numbers carried by his insane 54% from beyond the arc on 3.2 attempts per contest. While that will definitely eventually cool off, Jerome is worth rostering and starting in standard formats at the moment, especially while the Cavs remain without Caris LeVert and Dean Wade in the lineup.
Stream of the Game
Should Ty Jerome not be available, fantasy managers can pivot to Zaccharie Risacher, although Risacher only logged 17 minutes last game despite starting.
Alternatives: Craig Porter Jr. and Kobe Bufkin (deeper formats)
Portland Trail Blazers @ Indiana Pacers
Game Time: : 7:10 pm ET

POR +10.5 (+400), IND -10.5 (-535)
Game Total 229.5Key Storylines
And The Wheel Keeps Spinning: Just when it looked like Robert Williams III would get an extended opportunity with both Deandre Ayton and Donovan Clingan sidelined, Williams suffered a concussion and will be now forced to miss some time. Clingan will be out for multiple weeks the Blazers announced this week, and Ayton has a chance to return on Wednesday (listed as questionable instead of doubtful). Fantasy managers with Williams on their rosters should remain patient and hold him wherever possible, as with Clingan out for the foreseeable future he should be able to carve out a large enough role to contribute even if Ayton is back in action.
Can He Keep It Going?: Tyrese Haliburton went off last time out, hitting 9-of-18 attempts from downtown on his way to a monster performance on Monday. Will this be the catalyst for better performances moving forward? The Blazers are a great matchup for Haliburton to keep the momentum going after a slow start to his season.
Stream of the Game
T.J. McConnell is the preferred option to stream in for as long as Ben Sheppard remains sidelined. Should McConnell not be available, Quenton Jackson is worth a look for help in points and 3-pointers.
Alternatives: Jabari Walker, Jarace Walker and Moses Brown (deeper formats).
