James Harden $10,900

With the injury report of Chris Paul and James Ennis being out for this match-up, sign me up for Harden. In the last three games, Harden leads the entire league on usage rate at 36.7%.

Last six games Harden produced 66.5, 67.5, 58.3, 71.5, 69.5, and 86.5 DKFP. Harden will be a building block in majority of line-ups tomorrow.

P.J. Tucker $4,300

Tucker is in a similar boat as Harden. Last five games, Tucker produced 33.5, 26.3, 36.8, 22.5, and 25.8 DKFP. Houston is in an uptempo and close match-up. Loading up on core players is a great way to start cash game line-up builds.

Paul George $9,700

George has been an absolute monster this season even with Westbrook. He is the definition of a Cash Game play with an immense upside being away in a close game versus the Rockets.

The Thunder have been playing at the fastest pace in the NBA the last five games at 105.9. George has been the main producer, as he has not produced under 40 DKFP since NOVEMBER!

INDIANAPOLIS, IN – NOVEMBER 19: Rudy Gobert #27 of the Utah Jazz shoots the ball against the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on November 19, 2018 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Eric Gordon $5,800

With the injury news of Chris Paul out for two weeks, Gordon will leap into all the usage he can handle. Last two games, Gordon went 7-of-20 and 6-of-17 going for 12 and 13 threes.

His upside is tremendous going against the fastest paced team in the league the last five games. I will be confidently loading up on the Rockets on this slate.

Rudy Gobert $7,200

Gobert is in the best match-up for centers on the slate. The last three games, Portland is giving up the most points to centers and Gobert will be ready to pounce at home.

Gobert has produced over 30 DKFP the last eight games and has room for upside on this slate. At his very favorable price of $7,200, Gobert will be appearing in majority of my line-ups with hope of lower ownership.
