Juan Carlos Blanco checks out Tuesday's slate as Luka Doncic and the Mavericks take on a Pelicans squad that will be missing a key player or two.

James Harden has had some monster stat lines early in the season and should have another opportunity to perform at a high level against the Pacers' favorable defense Monday.

Jeff Edgerton digs into Monday's slate and thinks it's a good night to spend up for an elite center like Joel Embiid.

Jeff Edgerton likes Luguentz Dort to provide excellent return on value when the Thunder take on the Timberwolves.

Kyle Lowry's salary may still reflect his poor 2021 postseason run, but his effort Friday reflects more what he can be expected to do. He's a strong value play in the backcourt Saturday versus his former team.

Jaden Ivey has started his pro career out hot and faces a Pacers squad that has struggled to defend the perimeter versus opposing two-guards, setting him up for another solid outing.

Jrue Holiday should thrive from a fantasy perspective while Khris Middleton remains sidelined and is poised for a bounce-back showing after a 2-for-15 shooting effort Opening Night.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander posted big numbers on Opening Night, dropping 32 points against the Timberwolves. He also receives a favorable matchup against a Nuggets squad on the second night of a back-to-back set.

With the Spurs not being the best defensive side, Juan Carlos Blanco figures Buddy Hield could be a significant value.

While negativity surrounds Russell Westbrook, his upside would warrant a five-figure salary if he consistently reached it. He could represent one of the primary value options on Thursday's two-game slate.
