Mark Eakins My NBA targets can be used in both cash games and GPP’s. The risky plays are to be used as GPP dart throws. I am using DraftKings salaries.

#1 TARGET: TOBIAS HARRIS (8,300)
Finally had his big bounce back last game versus the Kings with 54 Draftkings points. With Embiid, Simmons, and Richardson off of the floor, Harris averages 1.23 fantasy points per minute (FPPM), a usage rate of nearly 27 percent, an assist rate of 18.5 percent, and a 13 percent rebound rate. He is finally able to show what he can do without the trio in his way. He is the go-to scorer for Philly. Harris has 50 fantasy points upside every night. Tobias is in a great matchup versus the 24th ranked NBA ranked defense of the Golden State Warriors. He should be able to put up a bare minimum of 50 to 55 fantasy points.
#2 TARGET: STEPHEN CURRY (8,000)
In his return from injury, Curry wassupposed to be on a 25-minute restriction. In that NBA matchup versus theRaptors, he ended up surpassing his limit and played 27 minutes and produced 42Draftkings points. I expect Curry to be extremely productive, considering thereare not many players on the Warriors that can produce consistently. Believingthe minutes limit will be bumped up or eliminated, expect him to play 30 to 32minutes. If Steph sees 30 plus minutes, at home, in this matchup versus an NBAteam who is terrible on the road, he could put up 50 fantasy points with ease.
#3 TARGET: COLLIN SEXTON (6,900)
He has been playing at an elitelevel as of late. Sexton sees monster minutes. In his last two NBA matchups, heplayed 39 and 45 minutes. In those two games, he blew up the NBA DFS slate with50 and 55 Draftkings points. With Garland and Kevin Porter out, the ClevelandCavaliers are going to continue to run him into the ground. Sexton is lined upfor the possibility of another 50 fantasy point performance.
#4 TARGET: JONAS VALANCIUNAS (7,300)
The player that everyone hates to roster, but I can’t deny the fact that he is in an absolute smash spot once again versus the 28th ranked NBA defense of the Atlanta Hawks, who are currently in the second half of a back to back. JoVal played 25 minutes and produced 38 Draftkings points in a blowout win last time versus the Hawks. In a close game, he will see 32 to 34 minutes. If this game stays close, he is going to produce 50 fantasy points with upside to go over 60.
#5 TARGET: KEVIN HUERTER (5,600)
He played 38 minutes last night withTrae Young off of the court. Huerter picked up a double-double, producing 14points and 11 assists. He made six of his 14 field goal attempts and hit two ofhis eight three-point attempts, which led him to 37 Draftkings points. Kevinshould see identical numbers if Young misses again tonight. Huerter’s minutesare solidified. Even in the last blowout loss to Memphis, he was still on thecourt late in the game. He should have no problem having a repeat performanceof last night’s NBA matchup.

SLATE SUMMARY:
On today’s five-game NBA DFS slate on Fanduel and Draftkings, I will be using a more balanced approach for about 75 percent of my lineups. I will be using multiple players in between the 8k and 4k range to build my balanced lineups. In the other 25 percent of my lineups, I will be using the stars and scrubs approach. In my SuperDraft lineups, I am going to focus on all players with a multiplier above 1.4x. Good luck today, and don’t forget to come back and WIN DAILY.
