Welcome Back, Everyone! Tonight’s main NBA slate on DraftKings has a total of 4 games and the first match-up tips off at 7:30 P.M. Eastern Time. It’s a very small slate and this article will guide you through my favorite NBA plays tonight. As always, Good luck!
-NBA Schedule-
UTA @ ATL – At 7:30 P.M. Eastern Time
LAL @ MIL – Ay 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time
BRK @ SA – At 8:30 P.M. Eastern Time
HOU @ LAC – At 10:30 P.M. Eastern Time
Top PG Picks:
Trae Young – DK: ($9,800)
Although Young and company were blown out by New York in their last game, it didn’t stop Young from showing off his ceiling. In a 23 point blow-out loss, Young still played 41 minutes and racked up 42 points, 8 assists, and 4 rebounds. He will face Utah tonight and they are ranked 24th defensively against opposing PG’s. This will be another opportunity for Young to show off a little bit of his ceiling. He should have a floor of 40 points on FanDuel tonight.
Spencer Dinwiddie – DK: ($7,900)
Dinwiddie continues to be a force or Brooklyn as he’s now recorded at least 34 points on FanDuel in each of his last ten games. Caris LaVert may be making his return tonight but that shouldn’t really interfere with Dinwiddie’s production. Dinwiddie will continue to thrive for as long as Kyrie Irving remains sidelined with an injury. Tonight he has a solid match-up on paper as he gets ready to take on San Antonio’s defense. They are ranked 19th in the NBA against opposing PG’s.
Dejounte Murray – DK: ($5,700)
If you are looking for some value at the PG position tonight, Murray is your guy. He’s been getting things done on both ends of the court. Over the last three games alone, Murray racked up 3 blocks and 7 steals. Tonight he has a superb match-up against Brooklyn. Their defense is ranked 28th in the NBA against opposing PG’s. Murray is like the energizer bunny and he doesn’t back down from anyone. Look for him to have a floor of 28 fantasy points on DraftKings tonight.
Rajon Rondo – DK: ($4,800)
It’s tough to ignore Rondo tonight given how affordable his price-tag is on DraftKings. He is the type of player who won’t necessarily pay 30+ minutes but does a little bit of everything when he’s on the court. He’s now had back to back performances in which he put up at least 25 fantasy points. However, one of the main reasons I think Rondo is worth a look tonight is because Milwaukee is ranked 27th defensively against opposing PG’s. Rondo should have a floor of 25 fantasy points on FanDuel tonight.
Top SG Picks:
James Harden – DK: ($12,400)
Harden is very expensive and has a tough match-up tonight on paper. But after breaking it all down, he’s worth the rostering in DFS formats. Tonight he is going up against the Clippers and earlier in the year when these two teams played Harden put up 71 points on DraftKings. If he has a ceiling game today and you overlooked him, it may come back to haunt you by the end of the night. After all, the Clippers are ranked a measly 23rd in the NBA defensively against opposing SG’s. Look for Harden to have a floor of 50 fantasy points on tonight’s NBA slate.
Donovan Mitchell DK: ($8,000)
Mitchell is a solid play at the SG position tonight as Utah gets set to take on a porous Atlanta Hawks defense. On top of that, Utah’s starting PG Mike Conley re-aggravated his injury and will miss multiple games once again. That bodes well for Mitchell’s fantasy stock as he has enjoyed an uptick in all categories since Conley has been sidelined. Atlanta is ranked 28th defensively in the NBA against opposing SG’s. This could be a ceiling game for Mitchell who figures to have the ball in his hand a lot more now. Look for him to have a floor of 37 fantasy points on FanDuel.
Lou Williams – DK: ($5,900)
Williams is a solid play on tonight’s slate that is starved of value at many positions. We all know what he is capable of doing even when coming off the bench. So what a better game to deploy him in than against Houston. The Rockets are ranked 30th in the league defensively against opposing SG’s. Going off that, if he can get you at least 28 points on DraftKings tonight, he’ll pay off. Earlier in the season, these two teams played once and in that game, Williams put up 38 fantasy points.
Top SF Picks:
Giannis Antetokounmpo – DK: ($11,300)
Giannis was a man on a mission 3 nights ago against Dallas where he dropped 48 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal in 34 minutes of action. This was a tough game for Milwaukee as they lost to a Luka Doncic-less Mavericks team. However, look for the Bucks to get back on track tonight as they get set for a showdown with the Lakers. These two teams have not yet played this season but you have to imagine Giannis already had this game circled on his calendar. Look for him to have a floor of 52 fantastic points on Draftings tonight.
Paul George – DK: ($8,500)
George will definitely be in some of my lineups tonight as he gets set to take on Russell Westbrook and company for the second time this season. In the first game, George was atrocious from the field combining for 4-15 shooting. However, even with the horrible shooting night he managed to rack up 43.5 fantasy points during the game. While he is primarily known for his immaculate scoring ability, he can pour it on in other categories as well. Look for him to have a floor of 38 fantasy points on tonight’s NBA slate.
Joe Ingles was just about to get relegated back to a bench role but then Conley went back down with an injury. That will allow Ingles to continue to enjoy his time in the starting lineup where he has been excelling. On top of that, he has recorded at least 31 fantasy points in each of his last five outings. That’s very impressive for a guy who is currently only averaging 22.5 fantasy points per game on the season. Not to mention the easy match-up he has tonight against a Hawks defense that is ranked 29th in the NBA against opposing SF’s.
Donte DiVincenzo – DK: ($5,200)
While Eric Bledsoe recovers from an injury, Milwaukee will try and fill his void. Surprisingly that has been easier than anticipated as DiVincenzo has recorded at least 32 points on DraftKings in each of his last two outings. He is not known for his scoring, but he can fill up any other category on the stat sheet with ease. Over his last two games combined, he has racked up 20 points, 15 rebounds, 13 assists, 6 steals, and 1 block in 55 minutes of action. Look for Donte to have a floor of 23 fantasy points on DraftKings tonight.
Top PF Picks:
Anthony Davis – DK: ($10,100)
AD sat out Tuesday’s game due to an ankle injury but is more than likely going play today. He has recorded at least 52 points on DraftKings in four out of his last five outings. He also took 20+ shots in all four of those games as well. The Lakers offense moves trough AD and James on a nightly basis. Given the fact that AD got to rest a game coming into tonight only bodes well for his potential today. Look for him to have a floor of 50 fantasy points on tonight’s NBA slate.
Bojan Bogdanovic – DK: ($6,700)
Bojan has looked impressive all year long and just put up his fourth 30-point game spanning over his last ten games. Conley is out which leads one to believe that Bojan is the clear #2 scoring option on the Jazz. After all, he does average 21.1 points per game through 26 games played the year. Atlanta is ranked 29th in the NBA against opposing PF’s so Bojan should have his way in this one. Look for him to have a floor of 28 points on DraftKings tonight.
PJ Tucker – DK: ($4,700)
PJ Tucker is a solid value play for me tonight due to where he is priced at on DraftKings. I fully understand he can play 35+ minutes and literally have just 10 fantasy points. But on tonight’s slate, these kinds of plays are what is going to make or break your lineup. It’s too expensive to pay up for all the studs on this slate, so using a flier like Tucker will be beneficial. The Clippers are 21st in the NBA against opposing PF’s and earlier in the season when these two teams played, Tucker put up 19.8 points on DraftKings.
Top C Picks:
Clint Capella – DK: ($7,600)
Capella is a solid center to target tonight as the Rockets get ready for a west-coast showdown with the Clippers. Back on November 22nd, these two teams played and in that game Capella put up 17 points, 19 rebounds, and 2 blocks in 41 minutes of action. He is a walking double-double and his minutes are through the roof this season. He’s had his ups and downs but he’s remained very consistent. Look for him to have a floor of 40 fantasy points on DraftKings tonight.
Jarrett Allen – DK: ($6,500)
If Jarrett Allen played 30+ minutes every night he would be one of the best fantasy PF’s out there. He averages a double-double in home and away games this year but only sees roughly 26 minutes of action a night. I get that Brooklyn has DeAndre Jordan and they split time, but Allen is just 21 years old and has so much potential ahead of him. Tonight he will take on San Antonio who lacks a serious presence at the 5-spot. That bodes well for Allen because Brooklyn may opt to give DeAndre Jordan fewer minutes.
Alex Len – DK: ($4,500)
Len is my NBA sleeper pick at the C position for tonight’s main slate on DraftKings. He recorded at least 20 points on DraftKings in six out of his last seven appearances. Whether he comes off the bench or starts, Len has found a way to consistently get involved. Tonight doesn’t have a ton of value so if you’re looking for a cheap play, give Alex Len a shot. Utah is ranked 22nd defensively against opposing C’s. Look for him to have a floor of 20 fantasy points on tonight’s NBA slate.
