NBA Preseason DFS: Wednesday, 10/9 – 5 games, 10 teams, and pizza place
By Dan Palyo
NBA Preseason DFS: Miami @ Charlotte
Miami: Kelly Olynyk and James Johnson are QUESTIONABLE.
Charlotte: Joe Chealey and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are QUESTIONABLE.
CAUTION: The Miami Heat played last night and didn’t rest any of their starters so they could definitely do that in tonight’s meaningless game. I would approach Jimmy Butler and Justise Winslow very cautiously. Bam Adebayo is my favorite play on Miami again as long as he’s in the lineup and if Olynyk and/or Johnson don’t suit up he should smash. He’s going to be an elite fantasy player pretty much all season.
Tyler Herro got hot shooting the ball last night off the bench and is still cheap on both sites, I’m going to have some exposure to him as well as Derrick Jones Jr., who played a team-high 26 minutes off the bench.
Charlotte hasn’t played since Sunday so they should be well-rested. I’m looking at their new point guard, Terry Rozier and their young 3-man Miles Bridges as my top plays tonight. Bridges posted 12-10 in 23 minutes on Sunday and had some big games last year as a rookie. Rozier had 9 points and 9 assists in 23 minutes and is a great fantasy player when he gets minutes.
P.J. Washington is a guy to consider in tournaments. The rookie first-rounder came off the bench and was impressive with a 16-7-2 line in only 19 minutes.
Elite Plays: Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Terry Rozier, Miles Bridges
Also, Consider Jimmy Butler, Derrick Jones Jr., P.J. Washington
