Most eyes will be fixated on March Madness, but the NBA has some madness of its own. March means it’s time for these NBA teams to show exactly who they are, with the trade deadline right around the corner. The NCAA games do leave us with a meager four-game slate here, though, but there’s still a lot of great action to discuss. With that in mind, let’s kick things off with some of the best values on Yahoo!  Guards  De’Aaron Fox, SAC at PHI ($41)  Many people may not realize it, but Fox has… Source link

Sunday slates tend to have games spread throughout the day, and that’s the case again here. We have nine in total, with six making up the night slate beginning at 7:00 pm ET. Many of the road teams are expected to be favorites, leading to some fascinating spreads. With that in mind, let’s get into it! Guards  Trae Young, ATL vs. CLE ($39)  It’s bizarre to see Trae below $40. He was closer to $50 for most of last season and it appears he’s recaptured that form recently.
