H2H Win Percentage:               18-2 (W-L)                                                     90%  



G-1 Klay Thompson (Warriors): We have been following Thompson very closely the past few weeks and have noticed a pattern.  He has a big game, then an average game, then a big, and so on.  Even when he has an average game, he almost gets 2.0 his value so he’s a low risk play.  Last game he had an average game, so you know what that means for tonight…
G-2 Isaiah Thomas (Kings): The little guy has been starting and sharing the backcourt with Tyreke Evans, and has been extremely impressive.  Wednesday night he put up 38 fantasy points (28 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal) against the Spurs. 
G-3 Gordon Hayward (Jazz)
F-1 Carmelo Anthony (Knicks): Since Stoudemire has been out, Carmelo has looked like the old Carmelo.  Valued at just over 13K, ‘Melo has gone off in the last two games logging 44 and 39 fantasy points respectively.  This hot streak should continue with Stoudemire out for a couple more weeks, and Lin questionable for tonight’s big Eastern Conference matchup with the Hawks.
F-2 Kevin Love (T-Wolves): He’s hotter than a firecracker.  In his last 4 games he has put up: 68, 55, 76, and 65 fantasy points.  Even though Boston has one of the best defenses in the league, it would be a mistake not to play Love. 
F-3 Chandler Parsons
C-1 DeMarcus Cousins (Kings): By looking at his numbers, you would think we were getting him confused with Dwight Howard.  Cousins is a must play right now; he is averaging 47 fantasy points (3.0 his value) over his last 5 contests which include outbursts of 54 and 60.  He is also matched up against a Utah team who has given up an average of 105.7 points per game over their last 3 games.
C-2 Al Jefferson (Jazz)
C-3 Andrea Bargnani (Raptors): You have to love a center who can drain threes.  After missing much of the season to injury, Bargnani has been off his game, but Wednesday he put up 37 fantasy points and led the Raptors scoring attack.  Furthermore, he is a low risk play since he is around 10-11K. 
Value Plays of the Day:
G Iman Shumpert (Knicks): Lin is ruled out again for tonight against the Hawks; this means Shumpert is starting again and a must play.  Last game he put up just shy of 40 fantasy points (25 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 1 and 1 steal), and look for 25+ out of him tonight.
F J.J. Hickson (Trail Blazers): A recent pick-up of Portland, Hickson has really impressed the coaching staff in his first few games.  He has solidified himself as the 1st player off the bench in their frontcourt.  In 4 games with Portland, he has averaged 13 points and 24 minutes per game.
G Gerald Green (Nets): Green is seeing big minutes off the bench, and at a value of 7K, he is a must play.  The shooting guard is averaging 24 fantasy points over the last 2 games (over 3.0 his value), and he has a great matchup against the Warriors tonight.
