After a high-scoring Saturday where even scores in the 300s missed cashing in some 50/50s, Sunday brings us six more games, a few of which project to be friendly for DFS purposes. Vegas is expecting a high-scoring slate in real life, and I’m expecting a good amount of DFS points to be scored as well. As usual, the afternoon matinee will not be included in this writeup. 

Vegas lines and totals

Boston (-4.5) @ Orlando – total of 204.5
Atlanta @ Miami (-1) – total of 192
Phoenix @ Dallas (-11) – total of 201.5
Golden State (-10.5) @ New York – total of 216.5
Minnesota @ Portland (-7) – total of 209.5
Charlotte (-4.5) @ L.A. Lakers – total of 202

Warriors-Knicks has easily the high over/under of the night, and with Golden State playing on the road on the second night of a back-to-back after collapsing late against the 76ers, this game projects as one that seems unlikely to be over after three quarters, boding well for all its fantasy options. The only game that really projects as an avoid is Hawks-Heat, but even that game has a couple solid plays as well. Let’s take a look at who those plays are and more for Sunday’s six-gamer.
