With a huge 12-game NBA slate with the All-Star break approaching, I “love” way too many players on this Valentine’s Day slate to limit myself to just 10 recommendations. So, I have added an “And 1” to my official list and here are a few players that I “like” but just didn’t make the cut to receive a Valentine card from me: Joel Embiid, Blake Griffin, Bradley Beal, Damian Lillard, Zach LaVine, Joe Ingles, Austin Rivers and Ed Davis.
Also, note this will be the last Hot Sheet article until after the All-Star break with only two games on the docket for Thursday night. Let’s end the first half of the season with a bang!
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.
