Cash with Flash has taken a couple of weeks off but we are slowly making our way back to bringing you plenty of opportunities to Cash with the Flash. Today we’re going to look at tonight’s massive NBA DFS schedule and look for some NBA DFS winners for FanDuel and DraftKings users.
All prices are from the DraftKings NBA DFS slate.
NBA DFS POINT GUARD:
On a DraftKings slate where we have LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, we need to find some value and Smith provides that value providing that Isaiah Thomas is out. Smith played 34 minutes last night and scored 33 DraftKings points against Philadelphia and has a tougher matchup tonight against a Miami Heat defense allowing 75.7 DraftKings points to the point guard position this season. At $3300, Smith doesn’t have to do much to make value and is a great play providing that Thomas is out.
Other options: Rajon Rondo, Terry Rozier, Damian Lillard
NBA DFS SHOOTING GUARD
Butler has a nice matchup at home against a Washington Wizards defense allowing 90.3 DraftKings points per game to shooting guards. Butler is averaging 45.1 DK points per game over the past ten games and is coming off a 55.1 point night against the Toronto Raptors. Butler has also eclipsed 60 points once in the last ten games and I suspect he will fly under the radar tonight.
Other options; DeMar DeRozan, Evan Fournier, Terrence Ross
NBA DFS SMALL FORWARD
The King has a nice matchup with a Portland Trail Blazers defense allowing 92.9 DK points per game to the small forward position. James is positionless and he will get his no matter what, but Portland doesn’t defend any of the positions well and James should have a field day against the Trail Blazers. James averages 52.7 NBA DFS DraftKings points per game over the past ten games and I don’t think the Lakers will blow the Trail Blazers out at the Moda Center tonight.
Other options: Eric Paschall, Davis Bertans, Harrison Barnes
POWER FORWARD
If you fade James than you will probably want to play Davis in your NBA DFS lineups. Portland allows nearly 90 DraftKings points to the power forward position and Davis have averaged 50.4 DraftKings points per game over the last ten games. He’s scored 60 or more points in three of his previous ten games and could do so again tonight against the defensively challenged Trail Blazers.
Other Options: Kevin Love, Miles Bridges, Taurean Prince
Center
Moritz Wagner $5000
Wagner is still reasonably priced and that tag is going to help you land a couple of studs tonight. Wagner almost has to play with Thomas Bryant out and just Ian Mahinmi on the depth chart. Wagner is averaging 22.3 DraftKings points per game over the past ten games. He will likely be chalky but is a good salary relief option tonight.
Other options: DeAndre Jordan, Trey Lyles, Cody Zeller
