NBA DFS DROPPIN DIMES(Quick Hits Edition)-Tuesday JANUARY 11TH

The NBA is in a tough situation right now with players entering the health and safety protocols. This is on top of the number of players out due to injuries . Teams are signing players that have not seen the court for 10-day contracts.

Looking at a 6-game slate starting at 7pm
Always keep an eye on the status of players before lock, especially now. There are still a decent number of players with questionable tags.

CORE

Austin Rivers should see a start and around 30 plus minutes tonight with Will Barton out.  Last game he played 32 minutes and had a season high 22 points while adding in 5 rebounds and 3 steals. His price is 4.1K which is a jump of $1100 since last game, but he is still viable with all the injuries to the Nuggets. Will Barton is now listed as questionable, so if he plays I am off Rivers.

Andre Iguodala has seen 6 straight games with over 20 minutes and has put up 23.5 plus FPs in the last 3 games. He should continue to see minutes, especially now with Draymond Green out. This is an excellent macthup for the Warriors tonight.

Jae Crowder came back last game and played 27 minutes. With the Suns now down Cam Johnson, Crowder should see over 30 minutes tonight. Good spot against the Raptors who rank 20th in defensive efficiency.

Spencer Dinwiddie is an excellent play tonight with Bradley Beal out. He has 50 plus FPs upside and is a steal at 6K tonight against the Thunder.

Dimes Play

Trey Lyles has played very well over the past 2 games with 28 and 29 minutes and 42.3 and 31.5 FPs respectively. Stewart has been starting, but Lyles has been the more efficient player. He should come in at low ownership and has 6-7x upside tonight.
