Monday’s slate features 10-games of NBA action that includes a little bit of everything including three teams on the second game of a back-to-back (Pistons, Rockets and Pelicans) and four games with double-digit favorites (Raptors, Celtics, Warriors and Thunder).
Between the back-to-backs and big favorites which accounts for most of the high-priced studs on the slate, I find myself gravitating toward the mid-range salaries for my lineup construction which includes a lot of good high-upside options. Could it be a mistake to fade all the high-priced studs, maybe, but only time will tell.
The grid below is a snapshot of today’s slate that shows the overall rating for each position for each team. The numbers highlighted in red are the positions that are in the top 25% of their position for the slate and indicate good plays. Meanwhile, the numbers highlighted in blue are the positions that are in the bottom 25% of their respective position for the slate and are positions to avoid.
