In this column, I’ll highlight five NBA DFS 1/24 plays that could be the difference in GPPs, from studs with a huge upside to value plays who could hit 8x-10x.
These are risky NBA DFS1/24 plays who won’t always make the most sense for cash game builds, so buyerbeware!

NBA DFS 1/24 — PG
RussellWestbrook, HOU (@ MIN) – DK $10,400
The tide is shifting, and Russell is becoming the heart and soul of the Rockets in games where James Harden’s shooting touch isn’t there. He’s a near-lock for a triple-double in just about any matchup, and he should easily dominate the T-Wolves feeble backcourt with his high-energy play. We’re looking at a somewhat risky floor given the blowout factor, but if he plays the fourth quarter then 60-70 points seem doable.
Pivot/Stack:De’Aaron Fox
NBA DFS 1/24 — SG
KevinHuerter, ATL (vs. OKC) – DK $5,900
Huerter gets a huge usage bump if Trae Young is out again, but at this price, he’s a fine play regardless. The definition of a high-upside, high-risk GPP play, Huerter throws in a dud once in a while and is an injury-prone but very active player who excels in all aspects of the game. Use him sparingly if you’re tentative, and heavily if you’re fearless!
Pivot/Stack:Andrew Wiggins
NBA DFS 1/24 — SF
T.J.Warren, IND (@ GS) – DK $6,000
When Malcolm Brogdon isout, the first guy I look for is Warren, but I’m interested in a few Pacerstonight. I don’t expect ownership to be through the roof given the red numbernext to the matchup, but Warren will assume more of a scoring role and see increasedusage. Seeing him get 45-50 DK points is well within reason, so I’ll haveplenty of shares in GPPs.
Pivot/Stack:Will Barton
NBA DFS 1/24 — PF
PascalSiakam, TOR (@ NY) – DK $7,700
Siakam’s price is affordable, and though he’s struggled a bit inhis return from injury, this is a get-right spot against a weak Knicks frontcourt.If you’re looking for a PF with 7x or 8x upside who could break the slate, thisis the guy. There’s some risk, but Siakam makes for a fine GPP play in afavorable matchup.
Pivot/Stack:John Collins
NBA DFS 1/24 — C
DomantasSabonis, IND (@ GS) – DK $8,600
I’ll be mixing in shares of both Sabonis and Myles Turner, alternating them in GPP lineups because I’m not sure who will be the one to rack up the frontcourt points against the Warriors. There should be plenty of scoring and both seem like a lock for double-digit rebounds. But the prices for both men are far too low given the matchup and the glaring fact that one of the Pacers’ main scoring options is out.
