Russell Westbrook – $12,700 – The best player this side of fantasy basketball relevance — not much more needs to be said.

James Harden – $11,500 – The blowout possibility looms thick in this play, but you cannot argue with the production Harden returns each time he is on the court. Sacramento has one true rim-protector in the starting five, DeMarcus Cousins, and if they can draw him out, then you can expect heavy doses of Harden attacking the rim — which should certainly lead to at least 55 fantasy points.

John Wall – $9,800 – This matchup is another that holds the chance to be over by the start of the fourth quarter, though, Philadelphia has been playing somewhat better as of late, so they might be able to keep this contest close. Wall stands to return a decent profit if he can get around 35+ minutes on the court. The chances of Ish Smith being able to stay in front of the All-Star point guard are highly improbable, and that’s not news to anyone.

Value Plays: Michael Carter-Williams, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Lou Williams
