Wednesday features our first big slate of the week with 20 teams taking the hardwood in a 10-game NBA slate. As with any big slate, there are plenty of options to consider and injuries to monitor. Be sure to check back shortly for today’s NBA What If for all the injuries to watch heading into Wednesday’s slate. Since there were so many players to consider on a big slate, here are a few bonus recommendations of players that just missed the cut for my Droppin’ Dimes list: Russell Westbrook, LaMarcus Aldridge, Hassan Whiteside, Jrue Holiday, Lauri Markkanen, E’Twaun Moore, Jordan Bell and Davis Bertens.
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.
