We’re kicking off the Play-Ins tonight with a two-game NBA DFS slate. We get the Los Angeles Lakers versus the New Orleans Pelicans and the Golden State Warriors versus the Sacramento Kings. I’ll go over my core plays alongside my favorite value targets. To finish the article, I’ll drop my two favorite bets for tonight’s action while using the brand-new Propbettor tool!
NBA DFS – Core Plays
Domantas Sabonis $9,600 – 58.90 DK Points – 6.14 Value Rating
Domantas Sabonis has a lot to prove this playoff run for the Sacramento Kings after last year’s struggles in the first round. Sabonis and the Sacramento Kings will face off versus the Golden State Warriors – the same team that eliminated them last year. For this season, he averaged 17.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 9.5 assists in three g

Jose Alvarado $4,000 – 8.62 DK Points – 2. 16 Value Rating
Jose Alvarado isn’t the flashiest or strongest play on the slate but the upside for his price tag is there. Alvarado gets to face the Los Angeles Lakers in this do-or-die game. The Lakers rank towards the bottom when it comes to guarding point guards. They allow them to average 26.2 points, 8.3 assists, and 6.3 rebounds per game. Jose Alvarado has averaged 24 minutes per game in his last five while averaging 9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and two assists.
Stephen Curry $8,700 – 49.07 DK points – 5.64 Value Rating
Stephen Curry will be coming in hot for Tuesday night’s matchup versus the Sacramento Kings. Curry has recorded 45 DK points in his last five games with 52.3 DK points versus the Lakers being the highest he recorded. After a slow start in the seven-game series last year versus the Kings, he averaged 33.7 points, 4.9 assists, and 4.9 rebounds in the seven games. This season has been no different for him as he averaged 31 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in four games.
NBA DFS – Top Value Targets
Harrison Barnes $4,300 – 25.76 DK points – 5.99 Value Rating
Harrison Barnes will be looking to redeem himself after last year’s game-winning shot to take the series didn’t;t fall through. Barnes has been able to play his game this season versus his former team though. He has averaged 18.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in four games. The Warriors are one of the better teams when it comes to guarding small forwards. Barnes should come in under-owned with the value around him.
Larry Nance Jr. $4,200 – 24.15 DK Points – 5.75 Value Rating
Larry Nance Jr. didn’t finish the season strong but his matchup versus the Los Angeles Lakers has favored him this season. Nance has averaged 9.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game off of the bench in three games. Nearing a double-double average versus the Lakers is something that we want to target. Especially at the $4,200 price tag.

Austin Reaves over 14.5 Points -110 (DK Sportsbook)
Austin Reaves has been all over the place for the Los Angeles Lakers which has been a good thing and now he’ll see the New Orleans Pelicans once again. In four games, with two starts, Reaves has averaged 21 points versus them. In his last five games, he has hit over 15 points twice while barely missing one game by a point to end the season.
Draymond Green over 21.5 PRA -125 (DK Sportsbook)
Draymond Green is projected for a monstrous night with a projection of 27.94 PRA versus the Sacramento Kings. Green recorded 23 PRA (well, points and rebounds) versus New Orleans and 31 versus the Los Angeles Lakers to end the season. While his regular season numbers haven’t been as strong versus the Kings, we know what he did last year in the playoffs versus them. He averaged 9.5 points, eight assists, and 6.2 rebounds in six games.
