John Wall (vs DEN, $9,100)
Denver’s perimeter defense is bad. Like real bad. Like 28th against point guards on the season kind of bad. John Wall is not exactly the type of guard that will bring those numbers back down. Optimus Dime’s nickname has proven true as of late. The sixth-year veteran out of Kentucky has recorded double-digit assists in five straight games. There’s no reason that shouldn’t continue.
Marcin Gortat (vs DEN, $7,100)
It’s looking increasingly like these last five forwards and centers will get a lot of exposure in my lineups tonight. Gortat remains a cash safe stud with his consistent offensive production. He just missed out on his fifth straight double-double in Tuesday’s loss to Toronto by two rebounds. Look for him to start a new double-double streak against the Nuggets in what figures to be an up-and-down game.
