NBA DFS 3/11 — PG
De’Aaron Fox, SAC (vs. NO) – DK $7,800
I’m locking Fox into a bunch of my GPP builds because he’s guaranteed 30-35 minutes in a pace-up game (with the highest total of the night at 235) against the Pelicans and both he and Lonzo Ball should be busy in this one. The matchup is good, the price is affordable and while the upside has been limited to around 40-45 DK points, it’s probably well over 50 tonight given the circumstances. Ball could definitely work in-game stacks, and I think Chris Paul is your sneakiest pivot in a game that could stay close, force him into his usual 4th quarter savior role, and surprise some folks.
Pivot/Stack: Chris Paul/Lonzo Ball
NBA DFS 3/11 — SG
Jrue Holiday, NO (@ SAC) – DK $8,200
We know thatJrue has some big games, and tonight is a candidate for one of his monster performancesat both ends of the floor. The price is up, so there may be better cash gameplays, but he’s a solid play in GPPs for his 60-point upside. I’ll have multiplecombos of guards and forwards in the NO-SAC game, but we can start with Fox andHoliday in our main build. Buddy Hield is a solid game stack option at SG atsuch a low price, and we have Cam Reddish as a viable value play.
Value/Stack: Cam Reddish/Buddy Hield
NBA DFS 3/11 — SF
Bogdan Bogdanovic, SAC (vs. NO) – DK $5,100
If you’re not into playingbench players and Hield, Bogdanovich is a high-upside play in a high-scoringgame at a very affordable price. You could pivot to Harrison Barnes as well,but he’s more of a cash game play with his limited upside. Brandon Ingram is thegame stack option at SF, but I’m building most of my lineups around the nextguy in my Fearless Five.
Pivot/Stack: Harrison Barnes/BrandonIngram
NBA DFS 3/11 — PF
Zion Williamson, NO (@ SAC) – DK $7,800
I’m anticipating lower ownership than usual because of the red “1” next to his matchup on DK – but Zion is probably matchup-proof at this point. He’s seeing 30-35 minutes regularly and the King’s frontcourt doesn’t really scare me off him. I think the main reason the Kings don’t give up big fantasy points to opposing bigs is that most teams just go small to match up with them. Zion is not your typical PF/C. Maxi Kleber makes a lot of sense at $4,600 on DK for value, but only if Kristaps Porzingis sits the second half of the Dallas back-to-back. I’m not too interested in the Sacramento bigs because of the uncertainty of minutes with Richaun Holmes back in the fold, and I can’t list the most obvious pivot because I’m playing him at C.
Value: Maxi Kleber (and see below for more PF/C)
NBA DFS 3/11 — C
Julius Randle, NYK (@ ATL) – DK $7,800
Playing Julius Randle tonight has a lot of things going for it. He played just 26 minutes in last night’s game against the Wizards and let a lot of folks down, so his ownership won’t be near what it should be in a smash spot against the Hawks. I’m fearlessly forecasting 50+ DK points for the versatile big man tonight, and the only centers I’ll be playing as pivots in any of my builds are Bam Adebayo (C/UTIL), the aforementioned Zion and Kleber (both PF/C/F/UTIL eligible) and value options Thon Maker and Nicolo Melli (also both PF/C/F/UTIL) at just $3,100.
