The Rockets are 3.5-point road favorites in a game with a 234-point total, so targeting the Houston starters today should be high on the agenda. The Rockets and Portland meet in what should be a fairly ugly game from a defensive perspective, but a great one to target for fantasy purposes. Wiggins projects out as a strong value and has scored 32 or more Yahoo points in three of his last four games, making this a nice spot to target him at a very affordable price. They are also bottom-10 in terms of assists and points allowed to the small forward position this year. The Hawks are sixth-worst in opposing 3-point field percentage on the season and have also allowed the ninth-most points against on the year. Similar to power forward, the move is likely to target some good value and hope for an upside game out of a player like Andrew Wiggins, who is in a very good spot against Atlanta. Small forward today offers a few superstars today but some good mid-tier options to choose from. Grant ranks out third in the Awesemo NBA projections today and seems like a solid safe-haven type of play at what is a very depleted position with both Julius Randle and Kyle Kuzma having injury concerns. His usage has been rising of late and he has even shown an increase in rebounding, which could continue against the banged-up Wizards team. Grant comes in having scored 20 or more real-life points in five straight games. Washington has now allowed the fifth-most points per game to the power forward position on the season and that should make this a great spot for a player like Jerami Grant to continue rolling. The Pistons are in a nice spot against the Wizards today, who have been getting smoked down the middle of late.

Check out who else is one of the best NBA picks today in the Yahoo NBA DFS Cheat Sheet. He is popping as one of the best Yahoo Fantasy Basketball plays on the entire DFS slate. Mitchell was showing up well in Awesemo’s fantasy basketball rankings today. Mitchell rates out a strong second in the Awesemo NBA Projections, just 2 points behind first, yet comes $12 cheaper than James Harden, making Mitchell the preferred pay-up option today by a longshot. Mitchell has now scored 30 or more real-life points in four straight games and faces a Hornets team who has allowed the most 3-pointers to the shooting guard position per game on the season. It is fine to double-down at guard though and pay up for one of the top projected plays in Donovan Mitchell, as he has been nearly unstoppable of late and has a terrific matchup against Charlotte. The shooting guard position is deeper than normal today, which allows for a couple of different ways to go about making lineups.

Doncic coming off rest in what should be a great fantasy environment feels like a great move in GPPs today. The fact that he only managed 32 Yahoo points in his last outing against Minnesota is likely going to keep people off him today, but Doncic rates out as the clear top play at point guard on Awesemo, with over a nine-point lead over second-place Trae Young. He comes back to what should be a fast-paced matchup against the Timberwolves, who have allowed the sixth-most assists this year and fifth-most 3-pointers as well.

The Mavericks’ Luca Doncic looks set to return to the lineup today and is not even on the injury report for Dallas, which speaks to the fact that he should be in for a full workload. Yahoo Fantasy Basketball & NBA DFS Value Picks Today Guard - Luka Doncic $55 Make sure to read to the end for a couple of extreme value plays for Yahoo fantasy basketball lineups today. This column will use the Awesemo NBA player projections, fantasy basketball rankings and NBA DFS tools to build lineups and help wade through the day’s data and news. Seemingly every game has someone with a questionable tag who could shift the projections later in the day though, so make sure to stay tuned to Awesemo’s NBA projections for any last-minute changes. As for injury news, the big names with questionable tags at the moment include Julius Randle, Karl Anthony Towns and Jimmy Butler. There is a handful of poor defensive teams who play at fast paces on this slate with Charlotte, Houston and Portland so, while being mindful of blowout potential, if those teams can keep their respective games close serious shootouts could be on hand as well. The seven-game NBA slate today does not feature a ton of elite talent but there is certainly plenty of opportunity for big daily fantasy scores.
