NBA Fantasy 1/18
We are back with another edition of NBA Fantasy Tonight! Before we dive into tonight's picks, let's talk about what happened last night in the NBA as there were some incredible games and performances.
The Los Angeles Lakers pulled off the impossible last night when they went on the road to Oklahoma City to face the Thunder. Lebron James remains out due to his pulled groin so it was the young kids vs a very good Thunder team. Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball led the way for the Lakers as they beat the Thunder in OT by 10 points.
Now let's get going with our fantasy picks for tonight. I will start with the point guard position.
D Lilliard PG 8600. Damian Lillard is having another great year for the Portland Trailblazers. They will host the New Orleans Pelicans tonight and that should equate to a high volume of shots in front of the home fans for Lillard. So far this season, Lillard is averaging 44.1 fantasy points. I like him to cruise past that and go over the 50 point mark.
J Holiday SG 8000. Jrue Holiday will be facing off against the previously mentioned Damian Lillard. Holiday plays well in Portland and tonight should be no different. The Pelicans are finally back to full strength so the defense will not be able to focus as hard and Holiday and he will get plenty of open looks tonight. He is averaging 43.5 fantasy points per game and I think he will push the high 40's.
T Harris SF 7100. Tobias Harris is a big reason for the success of the Los Angeles Clippers this year. He has mastered his inside/outside game and is also shooting the mid-range shot very well. Harris will feast tonight in a fast paced game vs the Golden State Warriors at the Staples Center. Harris is averaging 36.9 fantasy points per game and will go over the 40 point mark tonight.
R Gobert C 8800. Rudy Gobert has been Mr. Everything so far this year for the Utah Jazz. Although the Jazz got off to a slow start to the season, they are playing their best ball of the year. Gobert is a double-double machine and should get near the five block mark tonight. That will mean that he will go way over his fantasy average of 40.7 and be the top scoring Center on the board.
If you want to catch some of this action tonight, there will be a double-header on cable. The San Antonio Spurs will play at the Minnesota Timberwolves at 7pm Central Standard Time and the Golden State Warriors will play at the Los Angeles Clippers at 9:30pm Central Standard Time. Both games can be seen on National Television on ESPN.
Good luck with your fantasy picks tonight. Thank you for following @steemsports and you can find me @npl77
