Welcome to the big post-All Star slate update of SI Fantasy's NBA DFS daily plays.
Tonight we get a chance to sweat our first big slate of the second half of the season. Karl-Anthony Towns, Damian Lillard, and Kemba Walker will all be out tonight. Luka Doncic will make his return to the Mavericks lineup. Out of the nine games on this slate, five have an implied total of 220 or higher. The slate closes with the Pelicans taking on the Trail Blazers. That game has a 238 total, so expect a late sweat.
C Hassan Whiteside, Portland Trail Blazers
DraftKings: $9,200, FanDuel: $8,500, Yahoo:$38
Whiteside has recorded a double-double in each of his last five games.
