NBA DFS 2/3 — PG

Ja Morant, MEM (vs. DET) – DK $6,800

The price on Morant is quite inviting, and while we could elevate ownership tonight, I just really like this spot for GPPs. It’s two pace-up teams in the second-highest total of the slate, and Morant has a legitimate 8x upside. Stack possibilities abound, starting with the Detroit guards – Reggie Jackson and Bruce Brown. I like a multi-entry large-field GPP pivot to Terry Rozier at low ownership against Orlando, given folks normally stay away from them and the fact that combo guards like Rozier (PG/SG/G/UTIL eligible) are the most successful player type against the Magic.

Pivot/Stack: Terry Rozier/Reggie Jackson-Bruce Brown

NBA DFS 2/3 — SG

Devin Booker, PHO (@ BKN) – DK $8,600

I’m a big fan of both Booker and Spencer Dinwiddie here, but I’m spending the extra bit on Booker in most of my lineups. Booker hasn’t broken the 40-point barrier since Jan. 5 against Memphis, and I think he wants to get in on some of the recent high-scoring action. The good matchup, plenty of upsides, and really exactly what I’m looking for in GPPs. We’re probably going to want some GSW guards – Alec Burks seeming like the most exciting – if DeAngelo Russell sits tonight against the Wizards.

Pivot/Stack: Alec Burks/Spencer Dinwiddie

NBA DFS 2/3 — SF

Bradley Beal, WAS (vs. GSW) – DK $10,100

Keeping still very much in the swing of things with the guards, we can roster Beal in GPPs despite the ridiculous price because we know he’s got 50 real-life points in him in this matchup (Warriors yield more threes at a better percentage than just about anybody) and 70+ DK point upside. With no Luka Doncic, Beal and Kawhi Leonard offer the most upside at on the slate and both are SF-eligible. Kawhi might be a really good pivot if you want to get frisky with the narrative (vs. SA), but I’m not sold with Paul George back, minutes restriction or no minutes restriction. I also like Glenn Robinson in the matchup against the Wizards, especially if Russell sits.

Pivot/Value Stack: Kawhi Leonard/Glenn Robinson

NBA DFS 2/3 — PF

Thomas Bryant, WAS (vs. GSW) – DK $5,800

If we’re stacking the Wizardsand need a big, we can look at Thomas Bryant, especially if Bertans sits.Bryant has averaged 37 DK points over his last three games and I think there’s50+ upside in this matchup. Versatile, talented bigs like Bryant can beenormous slatebreakers, and this just seems like a huge spot for him based onthe trending minutes, upside and opportunity to shine against a feebleopponent. HG3 is another value monster tonight, so work him in if you can.

 Pivot/Stack: Harry Giles III/EricPaschall

 NBA DFS 2/3 — C

DeAndre Ayton, PHO (@ BKN) – DK $7,700

Stacking Booker and Ayton is an option if you want to grab some value Nets, but I like Ayton even as a one-off GPP play here. 20+ points and 15-20 rebounds are probably what we’re looking at here, and his upside is even higher. He’s going to be tough to fit if you’re playing $10K+ guys like Beal and Kawhi and maintaining exposure to the other high-projections games on the slate, but I’m fairly certain that Ayton is going to be over $8K with no sign of being this price again for a while. WCS is a solid GPP value option if you can’t spend up at the center.

Pivot/Stack: Willie Cauley-Stein/JarrettAllen
