Only six games on the docket for tonight but we have some doozies. And by doozies, I mean games with very large Vegas totals which could provide plenty of game stack opportunities. All games feature an O/U of 204+ but three of our games have totals of 217.5, 219.5 and 224.5. If you’re looking to stack those games, they are Thunder/Blazers, Knicks/Suns and Warriors/Pelicans, respectively. As you can see, there is a ton of star power in our Highly Touted category. Best of luck picking which studs to stuff in your lineup tonight!
The numbers in the parenthesis are the number of experts that picked that player to give you more context as to the gaps between players and the tiers. Also listed projected ownership percentages for Cash and GPP leagues to help determine which players will be the chalk and which players could be a good low owned contrarian play.
