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: AARON GORDON (8,300
Aaron has been absolutely ballingout as of late. He has 42 Draftkings points in five straight games. Gordon seesmonster minutes, playing almost 40 minutes on a nightly basis. In the past twoweeks, he is averaging 1.29 FPPM, a 15.5 assist percentage, and a 14.2 assistrate. I am going to ride Gordon’s production until the wheels fall off. Heshould get 50 plus Draftkings points in this spot versus the terriblefast-paced NBA defense of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
#2 TARGET: CARIS LEVERT (8,300)
Coming into this game, he has anelite usage rate (32%), averages 1.35 fantasy points per minute (FPPM). In his lastgame in an NBA matchup versus the Washington Wizards, LeVert was on fire,producing 63 Draftkings points in 34 minutes. When given the minutes, he is avery productive player. He hasa smash matchup versus the awful 28th ranked NBAdefense of the Atlanta Hawks. LeVert could potentially have anotherhead-turning game and easily put up 50 Draftkings points tonight.
#3 TARGET: LARRY NANCE JR (5,900)
I likeNance a lot tonight. Last game without Drummond, he was able to see 31 minutes.Even with all of Cleveland’s big men healthy, Nance is still seeing 26 to 28minutes a night. With Drummond already ruled out, it solidifies his minutes. Heshould see 30 to 32 minutes in an excellent NBA matchup versus the Pelicans.Earlier this season, Larry went for a ridiculous 46 Draftkings points in only25 minutes versus New Orleans. If Nance sees 30 plus minutes, 40 fantasy pointswill be a walk in the park.
#4 TARGET: MIKE CONLEY (5,100)
Conley has been looking good on the court. He has been seeing consistent minutes, playing 30 plus minutes in six out of his last seven games. In five out of his seven previous games, he has produced 30 plus Draftkings points. He is in a fast-paced NBA matchup versus the worst possible defense in the Washington Wizards. Conley is in a spot where he could amass 40 plus fantasy points tonight.
#5 TARGET: COLLIN SEXTON (6,400)
Sexton is in a really good spot versus the third-fastest team in the NBA. Collin played 31 minutes and produced 40 Draftkings points versus the Pelicans earlier this season. On the season, Sexton has the highest usage rate on the Cleveland Cavaliers (27%), averages about one fantasy point per minute, and has a reasonable assist rate (14%). He could easily have a repeat performance, with upside for more.

Trae Young (10,500)

SLATE SUMMARY:
On today’s ten-game NBA DFS slate, I will be using a morebalanced approach for about 75% of my lineups. I will be using multiple playersin between the 8k and 4k range to build my balanced lineups. In the other 25%of my lineups, I will be using the stars and scrubs approach. I will usedifferent combinations of two or three players in the higher price ranges anduse 3k and 4k players to fill out the other roster spots. Good luck today, anddon’t forget to come back and WIN DAILY.
