Drafthustle’s favorite elite plays along with top value plays for tonight’s slate.
ELITE PLAY
Joel Embiid, C – PHI, $10,400
Joel Embiid is in an absolute smash spot tonight. He faces the very short-handed Hornets who are on the second night of a back-to-back. The 76ers have the second highest team implied total on the slate, and Tobias Harris is still not 100% if he plays. Joel also gives you a little discount from Jokic to use elsewhere in your lineup.
VALUE PLAYS
Ish Smith, PG – CHA, $4,500
Half of the Charlotte Hornets roster is on the COVID-IR list, including both starting guards, and there will be plenty of beneficiaries. Ish Smith will have plenty of usage tonight as the Hornets face the 76ers. At $4,500, he gives you floor, upside, and plenty of salary relief to pay up for the real studs.
Caris LeVert, SG – IND, $5,100
Caris LeVert is coming off of his best fantasy game in a month, and he is in a great matchup tonight. His price is still way too low at $5,100 for a starter who has the usage he has. He and the Pacers face the Wizards tonight in a game with a 211 Vegas Over/Under. As long as TJ McConnell is out, LeVert will be a great play.
