It’s important to note that the production of a lot of stars this year has not been enough to justify their high salaries, as many mid-tier options are hitting for 40-plus fantasy points every night. Scoring looks to be up this season, while at the same time, steals and blocks are inflating fantasy production for players. Going for 15 points and five boards or assists doesn’t help if a player is able to score 25 percent or more of their fantasy points off blocks and steals.
The most frustrating area heading into tonight is the injury/illness status of several key players. I guess traveling and being around plenty of people that may or may not always keep a healthy immune setting is tough. Every night someone is questionable due to illness. Kristaps Porzingis looks to be the key player to watch heading into afternoon shootaround.

Not all of the top options are listed in the playbook. They are in play, as always, but we wanted to provide options across all salary ranges. The majority of players are listed based on their FanDuel positions, but they may be eligible at other positions on the other sites. Position wise, it is easier to mix and match with the multiple DraftKings options than it is for FD.
