Seems like a bit of a punt game for Denver in the second of a back-to-back and with half the roster either out or questionable. I'm tired of this nonsense but may as well try and profit off it.
FanDuel. Peyton Watson has been on a tear since Nikola Jokic went down with an injury. HeтАЩs cleared this line in seven of his eight games played, incurring a 28% usage rate, while seeing a huge spike in his front court touches and overall time of possession. I like him to continue on his recent tear, despite tonightтАЩs game against the Mavericks being the second leg of a back to back. The Mavericks interior defense is non-existent without Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively, as Watson should face minimal resistance on his shots around the basket.
