Top Play:
Stephen Curry (GS) – Curry returned last night and played 32 brilliant minutes in a win against the Hornets. It’s difficult to imagine Curry isn’t on some level of minutes restriction on a back-to-back after just missing time, especially against the lowly Lakers. As a result, it’s difficult to consider paying the hefty price tag in cash games. If you project Curry for his normal allotment of minutes, he’s the top scorer on this slate, but if you bring him down to 27-28 minutes, is closer to the third or fourth highest projected scorer. With a wide range of outcomes on Curry’s minutes, we consider him more of a secondary tournament target.
