Golden State is coming off a back to back so the defensive legs should be tired and given the 213 total this should be high scoring affair. Both teams play at an extremely high pace but they are also a bit unpredictable when it comes to who will be big daily fantasy points scorer for the day. While both of these teams spread the ball around a lot it might worth taking a few player here since is supposed to be so close and high scoring.

Kyle Lowry
DeMar DeRozan

Brooklyn Nets @ Houston Rockets - Over/Under 206.5 (HOU -6.5)

Both these teams are playing shorthanded so this should be a prime spot to grab some daily fantasy points when building lineups. There should be plenty of shooting in this game and the over and under suggest it should high scoring and fast paced. There are some new names in the starting lineups for both teams so this is a great chance to pick up some players that otherwise might be flying under the radar.
