Itās hardĀ to know what to expect fromĀ the Spursā stars in Phoenix since Pop will rest them as much as possible. One thing you can know is what to expect from my FanDuel daily picks on the following slides. Each position has two slides assigned to itāone forĀ high-salary options and one for high-value options. Each slide contains at least two optionsĀ with a few extras thrown in where possible.Ā I base each pickĀ on the currentĀ form of each player and the positional matchups each player will face in tonightās game.
