Worth the Investment
John Wall (WAS, G) - $8200
Boston has played Washington tough this season but they’ve been stoneWALLed by the Wizards point guard. Wall scored 57.00 and 61.75 FSP, respectively, in two games on 12/7 and 12/8 against the Celtics. And that was with Rajon Rondo.
Marc Gasol (MEM, C) - $7800
Chris Bosh is still questionable with a calf injury so the Heat will probably feature plenty a three-headed platoon monster of Chris Andersen, Justin Hamilton and Udonis Haslem to slow down the Memphis frontcourt. Expect Gasol to take advantage of any of those matchups one-on-one. He should grab his fair share of boards as well because the Heat are last in the league in total rebounding percentage. As with most one sided predictions, beware the blowout potential.
Jimmy Butler (CHI, F) - $6500
It’s just too hard to pass up on Butler given his price tag and value. He’s been the Bulls most consistent offensive player throughout the 2014 campaign. Even with the return of Derrick Rose, Butler will still have plenty of scoring chances and will be a central part of a deadly inside-out trio of the two with Pau Gasol. Look for Butler to exploit a weak backcourt defense against New Orleans.
Top Sleeper
Marreese Speights (GSW, F) - $3000
The Warriors will probably take big advantage of a weak Timberwolves team so it’s probable that a lot of backups get plenty of time. Both Minnesota and Golden State love to play with pace so it should be a high scoring affair. Speights has recently lost a little playing time with the return of David Lee, so if Golden State does jump out to a big league early, Lee could get some rest and Speights could see big numbers.
