Jim Thomson 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: ANTHONY DAVIS (10,300)
In his last four games, Davis has produced at least 55 Draftkings points, playing no less than 31 minutes per game. In this matchup versus the 25th ranked NBA defense of the Golden State Warriors, he will be playing without LeBron James. Without James on the court, Davis has a fantastic usage rate (33.7%), a high assist rate (18%), a terrific rebound percentage (15.5%), and is sporting 1.63 FPPM. Davis is my favorite play of the day. Plug him in and move on.
#2 TARGET: HASSAN WHITESIDE (8,800)
This is a spot I have been targeting all year. The Indiana Pacers have been atrocious defending big men in the NBA all season. This is a great matchup for Whiteside. Over his last three games, he has been flirting with the 50 fantasy point mark. Earlier this season, Whiteside amassed 52 Draftkings points in 36 minutes in an NBA matchup versus the Pacers. Hassan is the number one big man in Portland and should see around 36 minutes and continue his production of 1.4 FPPM. He could easily have a repeat performance and put up 50 plus fantasy points in this spot.
#3 TARGET: TOBIAS HARRIS (7,500)
Harris should be on the courttonight without both Simmons and Embiid. Without the duo on the court, Harrishas an excellent usage rate (32%) and produced 1.23 FPPM. He is in a greatmatchup versus the 21st ranked NBA defense of the New York Knicks.We could see Harris put up 50 fantasy points, with upside for more.
##4 TARGET: MYLES TURNER (5,200)
Coming off of a great game where he produced 42 Draftkings points in 27 minutes, Turner is set up for an even better NBA matchup. Turner faces off against Whiteside. Whiteside is a big part of the terrible 27th ranked NBA defense of the Portland Trailblazers. Turner comes in averaging around 1.1 FPPM. He could be in line for an optimal performance tonight. Turner should have no issue producing another fantasy point game in this spot.
#5 TARGET: SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER (7,400)
The last time these two NBA teams met, SGA produced 43 Draftkings points in 38 minutes. He is in a good spot versus the mediocre 16th ranked NBA defense of the Sacramento Kings. SGA will see about 34 to 36 minutes. He should have no problem with a repeat performance of 40 plus fantasy points.
