This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.
FanDuel is offering a six-game main slate for Friday night that follows an active Trade Deadline. The player pool may be even thinner than usual as some who've changed uniforms aren't set to make their debuts with their new club while the injury report contains a few notable names.
Slate Overview
For the latest spreads and over-unders, visit RotoWire's NBA Odds page. There, you can also find player props, futures, picks articles and sportsbook bonus codes.
Listed spreads/totals are from FanDuel Sportsbook and current as of Friday, Feb. 6 at 12:00 a.m. EST:
Miami Heat at Boston Celtics (-7) (O/U: 230.5)
New York Knicks (-1.5) at Detroit Pistons (O/U: 225.5)
Indiana Pacers (-1) at Milwaukee Bucks (O/U: 224.5)
New Orleans Pelicans at Minnesota Timberwolves (-11) (O/U: 236.5)
Los Angeles Clippers (-4) at Sacramento Kings (O/U: 221.5)
Memphis Grizzlies at Portland Trail Blazers (-7) (O/U: 235.5)
The betting metrics paint a fairly encouraging picture with only one double-digit favorite (Timberwolves), two favored by less than two points and a trio of matchups projecting totals of at least 230. That should provide appealing DFS environments while giving us a variety of paths in tournament play.
Injury Situations to Monitor
For all the latest updates, visit RotoWire's NBA Injury News page and our comprehensive NBA Injury Report.
Deni Avdija, POR (back): QUESTIONABLE
If Avdija can't go, Sidy Cissoko and Jerami Grant are likely to handle the majority of power forward minutes while the rest of the starting five will see elevated usage.
Karl-Anthony Towns, NYK (eye): QUESTIONABLE
Should Towns be unavailable, Jalen Brunson will see his usage climb even higher while Mitchell Robinson will likely draw a spot start at center.
Domantas Sabonis, SAC (back): QUESTIONABLE
If Sabonis is sidelined, Maxime Raynaud would start at center.
Julius Randle, MIN (thumb): QUESTIONABLE
If Randle is unable to play, Naz Reid could enter the starting five while Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels should see the biggest usage boosts.
Other notable injuries:
Tyler Herro, MIA (ribs): OUT
Ty Jerome, MEM (calf): OUT
Santi Aldama, MEM (knee): OUT
Ivica Zubac, IND (trade acquisition): OUT
Bennedict Mathurin, LAC (trade acquisition): OUT
Darius Garland, LAC (toe): OUT

Elite Players
We have three players with five-figure salaries on Friday's slate – Cade Cunningham ($10,600), Anthony Edwards ($10,100) and Jaylen Brown ($10,000).
Cunningham has eclipsed 50 FD points in three of the last four games and draws a solid matchup against the Knicks while on his third outing over four nights.
Edwards may take the floor without Julius Randle and will be looking to eclipse 52 FD for the third consecutive appearance.
Brown is averaging 45.8 FD on the season and was rested on Wednesday while getting a favorable matchup against the Heat.

Expected Chalk
Other likely chalk plays include:
Kawhi Leonard, LAC ($9,600)
Leonard will be logging even more usage than usual with James Harden gone to Cleveland, which should make him even more popular on Friday.
Jalen Brunson, NYK ($8,800)
Brunson could be without Karl-Anthony Towns and just recorded 66.1 FD during the double-OT win against the Nuggets on Wednesday.
Ryan Rollins, MIL ($8,700)
Rollins is averaging 40.2 FD through his last six games while shooting a stellar 48.8 percent from three-point range, factors that will likely make him popular in a positive matchup against the Pacers.
Bam Adebayo, MIA ($8,500)
Adebayo is enjoying an extended run of production that includes an average of 41.8 FD from his last 13 outings to continue offering a high roster rate.
Trey Murphy, NOP ($8,100)
Murphy just put up 65.2 FD against the Bucks on Wednesday and is averaging 42.3 in the last 16 to keep his roster rate high.
Key Values
Rudy Gobert, MIN vs. NOP ($6,400)
Gobert draws one of the best matchups in either conference for centers who typically do most of their damage close to the basket as the Pelicans check in allowing 56.2 FD to centers during the last 30 games and the seventh-most in the paint on the season (52.7). He's already lit up New Orleans for tallies of 50.6 and 35.9 this year while averaging 33.6 on 10.1 points, 12.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 steals during 2026. Gobert has also registered double-digit rebounds from five of the last six while the Pels are conceding the fourth-most rebounds overall (55.7).
Toumani Camara, POR vs. MEM ($5,600)
Camara continues to flash a safe floor on most nights while going on an extended run of elevated play that started since Jan. 1 averaging 26.1 FD while delivering 13.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 34.5 minutes. He's also exceeded 30 FD seven times during that span with five of those coming during the last seven. Camara also posted 27.7 FD across 33 minutes the last meeting with Memphis and may take the floor Friday without Deni Avdija that should further enhance his appeal.
Brook Lopez, LAC at SAC ($4,000)
Ivica Zubac was traded to the Pacers at the deadline, meaning the Clippers' starting center job presumably belongs to Lopez. The veteran big man should have fresh legs on Friday considering he's only averaged 17.3 minutes this season. Lopez certainly has the ability to overdeliver on his salary having averaged 21.1 FD during his eight turns with the first unit. And while Lopez hasn't done a lot offensively in some of those outings, there should be more fantasy points coming with James Harden also off the roster. Lopez has averaged 32.0 FD per 36 minutes with both Harden and Zubac off the floor this year while the Kings - against whom he recorded 24.7 last time they met - are allowing the fourth-most FD to centers across the last 15 appearances (57.4).
ALSO CONSIDER: Jerami Grant, POR vs. MEM ($5,500)
