Top PG Picks:
Luka Doncic – DK: ($12,600)
It’s tough to not find a way to put Doncic in your lineup tonight. After all, he’s taking on Golden State who is 27th in the NBA against opposing PG’s. On top of that, Doncic has played the Warriors twice already this year and is averaging a ridiculous 77 fantasy points per game against them. Golden State has a horrible defense and I fully expect Doncic & company to dominate this game. Look for Doncic to have a floor of 54 fantasy points tonight.
Ja Morant – DK: ($7,600)
Morant is a great value play tonight. He’s playing very well as of late and his price tag remains very affordable. He’s recorded at least 32 points on DraftKings in five out of his last six games. On top of that, Morant has a very exploitable match-up tonight against Houston who is ranked 28th in the NBA against the PG position. The Rockets will also be without Russell Westbrook tonight which bodes well for Morant’s fantasy stock. Look for him to have a floor of 30 fantasy points tonight.
Brandon Goodwin – DK: ($4,000)
If Trae Young misses tonight’s game then I am going to consider rostering Goodwin as a sleeper pick. He only costs $4,000 on DraftKings tonight and he is going up against Phoenix who is ranked 25th in the NBA against opposing PG’s. Goodwin has recorded at least 16 points on DraftKings in each of his last three games. This is strictly a sleeper pick if Trae Young does not play.
Top SG Picks:
James Harden – DK: ($13,000)
Harden is going to be without fellow teammate Russell Westbrook tonight which correlates directly to a much larger usage rating. He’ll be going up against Memphis who is ranked 28th in the NBA against opposing SG’s. His price is through the roof at the moment so he’ll need a ceiling game to be worth rostering tonight. Everything points to Harden continuing his savvy-ways tonight as this should be a very high scoring game. I’ll give him a floor of 60 tonight.
Lou Williams – DK: ($7,500)
Williams continues to play exceptionally well in the absence of Paul George. He’s now recorded at least 36 fantasy points on DraftKings in each of his last six games. Tonight he has an extremely exploitable match-up against Cleveland who is ranked 24th in the NBA against opposing SG’s. You don’t have to break the bank to get him tonight and he is looking at a floor of 35 fantasy points. His ceiling is in the upper 40’s tonight.
Dillon Brooks – DK: ($5,400)
Brooks is a sneaky DFS play tonight on DraftKings due to his most recent game being a big clunker. That will likely deter many people from rostering him tonight. Before the clunker, Brooks put together a solid run of play including six straight games of at least 23 points on DraftKings. Tonight he will take on Houston who is dead last in the NBA against opposing SG’s. Look for Brooks to have a floor of 25 fantasy points.
Eric Gordon – DK: ($4,800)
Eric Gordon is another sneaky DFS play due to how low his price is tonight. He’s scored at least 23 points on DraftKings in three out of his last five games. On top of that, No Russell Westbrook tonight. This should allow Gordon to see 30+ minutes of action which should lead to a solid fantasy output. Not to mention, this game has an implied total of 239 points tonight. Look for Gordon to have a floor of 25 fantasy points in this one.
Top SF Picks:
Kawhi Leonard – DK: ($10,000)
Leonard will be a strong DFS play as the Clippers are still without Paul George tonight. Kawhi has recorded at least 40 points on DraftKings in seven out of his last nine games. Tonight he gets a match-up against the Cavaliers who don’t have anyone who can shut-down Leonard. If you can’t buy up on him at this position, just pivot down to Kelly Oubre Jr tonight. He has a similar floor and ceiling but has a better match-up. Nevertheless, look for Leonard to have a floor of 44 fantasy points tonight.
Kelly Oubre Jr. – DK: ($7,900)
Kelly Oubre is one of my favorite plays at the SF position on DraftKings tonight. He’s racked up at least 36 fantasy points on DraftKings in six out of his last seven games now. On top of that, he has a great match-up against the Hawks who are ranked 27th in the entire NBA against opposing SF’s. Oubre took on Atlanta once earlier this year and was able to put up 47.3 fantasy points on DraftKings. Look for Oubre to have a floor of 40 fantasy points tonight.
Danuel House Jr. – DK: ($4,000)
Danuel house is my sleeper play at the SF position for tonight’s main slate. Russell Westbrook is out and this game has an implied total of 239 points at the moment. I have a hard time ignoring House in this situation. Memphis is the opponent tonight and he’s played them once already this season and put up 35.8 fantasy points. Don’t go all-in with this play tonight. However, I would definitely sprinkle him in a few GPP lineups.
Top PF Picks:
John Collins – DK: ($8,300)
Collins had a very rough outing against Brooklyn in his most recent game where he was held to just 22 fantasy points in 28 minutes. It’s no secret the Hawks struggle without their star PG Trae Young in the lineup. I honestly like Collins more tonight if Young plays. That way Phoenix has to focus more of their energy on him. Either way, Phoenix is ranked 26th in the NBA against opposing PF’s. Look for him to have a floor of 35 fantasy points tonight.
Kevin Love – DK: ($7,200)
Love has been on a roll recently as he’s now recorded at least 31 fantasy points on DraftKings in nine out of his last ten games. Tonight he has a very exploitable match-up against the Clippers who are ranked 25th in the NBA against opposing PF’s. Los Angeles will also be without Paul George tonight which should help Cleveland keep this game close. Look for Love to have a floor of 35 fantasy points tonight.
Omari Spellman – DK: ($5,500)
Spellman has been a nice surprise for the Warriors over the past week. Golden State has changed its starting lineup more times than I can count this season. However, this change seems to be working for them. Omari has recorded at least 27 fantasy points on DraftKings in four out of his last five outings. Dallas is the opponent tonight and they are ranked 21st in the NBA against opposing PF’s. Going off that, Spellman played them once this season and put up 22.5 fantasy points in that one. Look for him to have a floor of 26 fantasy points tonight.
Top C Picks:
Rudy Gobert – DK: ($9,200)
Gobert is playing at a very consistent level this season and averaging a whopping 14.8 PPG to go along 14.4 RPG. Tonight he will take on Brooklyn for the second time this season. In the first match-up, Gobert put up 48 fantasy points on DraftKings. The Nets are finally getting healthier so this should be a fun and close game to watch. Gobert has put up at least 37 fantasy points on DraftKings in eight of his last ten games. Look for him to have a floor of 40 fantasy points tonight.
Montrezl Harrell – DK: ($7,000)
Harrell is a great value play at the C position tonight as the Clippers get set to take on Cleveland. Harrell has now put up at least 29 fantasy points on DraftKings in eight of his last ten games. With Paul George still injured, there is plenty of opportunities for Harrell to continue his dominating ways. On top of this, Cleveland is ranked 29th in the NBA against opposing C’s. Look for Harrell to have a floor of 33 fantasy points tonight.
Dwight Powell – DK: ($5,500)
Powell is a solid option tonight if you’re trying to save some money at the Center position. He’s quietly recorded at least 25 points on DraftKings in eight of his last ten games now. Going off that, he’s put up 35+ fantasy points in two of his last three games. Only go with Powell tonight if Porzingis gets ruled out. Look for him to have a floor of 25 fantasy points in tonight’s game.
