NBA Fantasy 1/28
We are back with another edition of NBA Fantasy Tonight. It was a solid Sunday in the league that featured some monster performances and some excellent games. The Los Angeles Lakers continue to play without Lebron James but that did not matter last night as they took care of business at home against the Phoenix Suns. They are now 6-10 without their super star. From a fantasy perspective, this has allowed the Lakers player to have an inflated value as their total amount of shots have been way up since their leading scorer is out.
As far as tonight's action, there are just 5 games. So we will have 10 teams to chose our player from. Let's get started with the guard position.
K Thompson SG 6100. Klay Thompson exploded this weekend and had his best back to back game performance of the year. He had been struggling with his shot and especially from the 3 point line but when he is hot, he is HOT! Tonight the Golden State Warriors will play on the road again and go up against the Indiana Pacers. Thompson will have a ton of open looks with the Pacers best defender out, Victor Oladipo, who suffered a horrible knee injury last week and is now lost for the year. Thompson is my MUST play tonight.
L Williams PG 7400. Lou Williams is having one of his best seasons ever. He has bounced around the league but is feeling at home playing for the Los Angeles Clippers. Williams is averaging 31.4 fantasy points per game and has led the team in scoring more than not. He will be able to feast against one of the worst defenses in the NBA tonight when the Clippers host the Atlanta Hawks. Williams should go for close to 40 fantasy points tonight.
J Collins C 8200. John Collins has a very bright future for the Atlanta Hawks. The big man is part of the young core that features rookie sharp shooter Trae Young. The duo has played great together thus far and Collins is averaging 37.1 fantasy points per game. I like him to get a double-double tonight and if he can pick up a few blocks and steals, he could go for 50 fantasy points against the Clippers interior defense.
It should be interesting to see another game with Boogie Cousins playing center for the Golden State Warriors. Cousins played his most amount of minutes last game when he went for 23 minutes. I would still avoid using him in fantasy though as the team is just easing him into the season. They want to make sure that he remains 100% healthy.
Good luck with your fantasy picks tonight. Thank you for following @steemsports and you can find me @npl77
