A short six-gamer on tap for us this evening. The Warriors may be on the 2nd night of a back-to-back but the matchup against the Wiz should be a doozie. And if you’re a fan of scoping the Vegas totals, you’ll want plenty of exposure to the 231.5 o/u in DC. Outside of a nine-point spread in Memphis we should have highly competitive games for you to choose from. As for our expert sites, it’s been an odd day. RotoGrinders has been crashing most of the afternoon which has not allowed me to pull some of their picks and FantasyAlarm did not post a Playbook (which is quite odd considering it’s usually posted in the morning) until late this afternoon. A couple of our other usuals have yet to post at this time (4:40pm CT) as well. Due to that delay, there will be no player blurbs tonight. Best of luck!

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.

Here are the Industry Consensus picks for tonight.
