C.J. McCollum-Portland Trail Blazers (6,900): McCollum had 39.75 fantasy points against the Pacers in their first meeting on 19-5-5 with a block and two steals. He hasn’t been able to get more than 35 fantasy points in any of his four games since, but he should be a solid option in an up-tempo game in Indy tonight. ∗∗
Will Barton-Denver Nuggets (6,700): Barton definitely appears to be past his ankle injury and logged 82 total minutes in the Nuggets back-to-back games earlier this week. He only managed 24 fantasy points in his 43 minutes against Washington, but he should be in a place to produce more than that tonight in Orlando.∗∗∗
Nicolas Batum-Charlotte Hornets (6,600): Batum turned in his fourth straight solid game last night finishing with 38.75 fantasy points on 16-9-7 against the Magic. He has at least 38 fantasy points in each of his last four games and is providing balanced production across the stat sheet. He had 15-9-7 for over 40 fantasy points against the Cavs earlier this season and should be able to take advantage of the Cavs backcourt which has allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing SG over their last five games.∗∗∗
Dwyane Wade-Chicago Bulls (6,500): Wade hosts his former team in the Windy City tonight as the Heat come to visit him in his new home in Chicago. Wade had 13-7-4 in his emotional return to Miami earlier this season, but he has been in even better form lately. Wade has over 35 fantasy points in four straight games after posting a solid 20-5-5 with a bock and a steal for 36.75 fantasy points against the Spurs on Thursday night. Chicago is one of the few teams not on a back-to-back so Wade should get 34+ minutes against the injury-depleted Heat and be able to produce another age-defying stat line with some extra special sauce for Pat Riley.∗∗∗∗
