It’s a light schedule, but some good matchups. If Westbrook plays, the Thunder Big 3 should have strong games against an overmatched Kings squad. There’s a lot of talent available in Nuggets/Warriors and with Barton’s injury, there’s a good price on Nuggets players who will have an opportunity to step up. Same goes for the Rockets and Paul’s suspension. Then there’s Hawks/Cavaliers where defense is not required.

Reminder: This is just an example lineup built on players discussed in previous slides. I try to pick a balanced lineup, but you may prefer to go heavy on top-end players and hope a low-cost option impressed. Or you may prefer a high-risk, high-reward lineup. Personally, I play multiple lineups depending on the league I enter.

If you have any questions about a certain player or lineup decision, I’m happy to answer on Twitter. Good luck tonight.
