We have 5 games on Santa's big day! I wish they could flex some of these out when scheduling doesn't favor the slate. What I mean is New Orleans and Golden State are on this schedule, but clearly that was made when Zion was healthy and Golden State wasn't without...well, everyone. 

Wednesday's Value Index was straight fire, with one swing and miss, which happened to be Luka Doncic. I will go down swinging with Luka any day and missing on him isn't the same as missing on a 3rd string player who vaults into the starting lineup due to injuries, plays 29 minutes and scores 11 fantasy points at near min salary a la Dennis Smith Jr.

People are on the Luka regression train already. And while he certainly can't play perfectly every night, we don't know if what he is doing this year is sustainable all year long. So until he proves us wrong, we will be jamming him in.

I mean, the Anthony Davis stuff is basically comical these days, but also concerning. The Lakers had all day to report on his shoulder and then in minutes before the second game locked, AD was ruled questionable and then available to play...all within 10 minutes.
