Advice

I’ve been rolling with Durant and Capela just about every night when these two games have been on the slate. It’s been a duo that’s worked thus far and I don’t see a reason to go away from it. It’s become tougher due to their higher salary, but there’s still enough value and calculated risks. Harden and Davis always make for good options and I’m higher on Davis than Harden.

Explanation of the stars after each pick: Each one of my picks is ranked on a scale of one to five stars. Picks that I give five stars (∗∗∗∗∗) are players that you almost have to own and I have no reservations about owning at their price. Players that get four stars (∗∗∗∗) are players that I think are strong picks to build your roster around. Three-star players (∗∗∗) are middle-of-the-road solid picks who are fairly reliable to produce a good game. Picks receiving two stars (∗∗) are high-risk, high-reward players who do offer enough upside to be in my picks, but also have a significant risk factor that makes them dangerous. One star (∗) players are picks that are the best option around that price point, but who I don’t think are great options. I would take any one-star player over any option not in my picks, but they aren’t picks to build your roster around.
