There is a big 11-game NBA slate to tip off the week on Monday night. While there are plenty of high-priced studs on the slate, I find myself gravitating to a more balanced lineup construction. As such, at the moment, I am fading the high-priced stud level including Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James, DeMarcus Cousins, Russell Westbrook, Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis. Of course, things can change if some extreme value options open up. Note that of group of high-priced studs, LeBron James is the one I’m grabbing if possible.
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.
