There is a modest eight game slate of NBA action this evening. Plenty of left-coast action to keep you glued to your lineups well into the night. On the high-end of totals we have 221.5 (Clips/Lakers) and 197.5 (Bulls/Raptors) on the low end.  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.

Highly Touted

  • James Johnson (14x) – 53% Cash / 36% GPP – Coming off a 24-point, 7-rebound, 5-assist game.
  • Jusuf Nurkic (11x) – 41% / 28% – Nurkic had a 21-point, 12-rebound double-double on Sunday against the Heat.
  • Blake Griffin (10x) – 31% / 24% – In the last two games, Griffin has averaged 26.5ppg, 7rpg and 3apg.
  • Jimmy Butler (9x) – 26% / 21% – Butler has scored 25.5ppg in the last two outings.
  • Goran Dragic (9x)– 26% / 21% – In this season’s previous matchup against the Suns, Dragic scored 24 points and dished out 9 assists.
  • Spencer Dinwiddie (9x) – 40% / 27% – A nice salary relief target coming off a game in which he scored 18 points and dished 7 asssits.
  • Alan Williams (8x) – 22% / 19% – Williams has a double-double in three of the last four games. He’s become a beast in that mid-tier pricing area.
  • CJ McCollum (8x)– 22% / 19% – In the last ten games, he’s scoring 22.7ppg.
  • Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (8x) – 22% / 19% – In the season’s only matchup against the Nets, Caldwell-Pope scored 15 points and grabbed 7 rebounds.
  • Harrison Barnes (7x) – 19% / 17% – Barnes has fared well against his former mates scoring 25ppg in the two games.
  • Marc Gasol (7x) – 17% / 16% – Gasol had another triple-double last Thursday. He is posting 16.4ppg, 6.8rpg and 6.6apg in the last five.
  • Klay Thompson (7x) – 17% / 16% – Thompson lit up the Thunder for 34 points in OKC last night. He’ll look to continue that roll in a pace-down game in Dallas tonight.
