Top PG Picks:

Trae Young – DK: ($10,400)

Young eclipsed 80 fantasy points in his last outing where he went for 42 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, and 1 block in 39 minutes of action. He’s now recorded at least 50 fantasy points on DraftKings in nine out of his last ten games. He will take on Washington tonight who is 25th in the NBA against opposing PG’s. He is showing some extremely high ‘floor potential’ and tonight’s match-up makes him a no brainer. Look for him to have a floor of 45 fantasy points.

De’Aaron Fox – DK: ($7,500)

De’Aaron Fox is a solid play tonight given his price is $900 lower tonight when compared to just three slates ago. On top of that, Richaun Holmes and Bogdan Bogdanovic have both been ruled out for tonight. (Bagley also Q). With those guys sitting, Fox has a much better chance of seeing another big game. Milwaukee is his opponent tonight and they have not been playing the best over their last few games. They Barely beat Minnesota by 2 points – – took a loss to the Spurs – & then beat the Warriors by just 9 points in their most recent outing.

Terry Rozier – DK: ($6,900)

Rozier is a man on a mission at the moment and I’m going to jump in on the action tonight. He has now racked up at least 37 points on DraftKings in seven out of his last ten games. During that span he flashed a high ceiling; as he hit 50+ fantasy points twice. Tonight he will have a tough opponent in the Utah Jazz. However, he played them once this season and was able to produce 42.5 fantasy points on DraftKings. He has been playing too well for me to ignore him any longer. If he hits over 40 fantasy points tonight it’s a SMASH.

Top SG Picks:

Devin Booker – DK: ($8,400)

Booker is another player that I am having a hard time not fitting into a lineup. He’s recorded at least 50 fantasy points on DraftKings in five of his last six games now. Tonight he gets a solid match-up against Orlando who is without their defensive stud Jonathan Isaac. On top of that, Orlando is 24th in the NBA against opposing SG’s. With that being the case, I am confidently going to roll with Booker once again tonight. Look for him to have a floor of 44 fantasy points.

DeMar DeRozan – DK: ($7,200)

A lot of people don’t like going with San Antonio guys and for good reason. They have five or six guys who could individually go off on any given night. DeRozan has put up at least 37 fantasy points in each of his last six outings. Going off that, he has a very exploitable match-up against Memphis tonight who is ranked 28th in the NBA against opposing SG’s. San Antonio has played Memphis twice this season and DeRozan is averaging 40 fantasy points per game in those contests. Look for him to have a floor of 35 tonight.

Kevin Huerter – DK: ($6,100)

I love this match-up for Huerter and the fact that he had a down-game in his last outing. That will likely scare away some ownership tonight as there are plenty of options on the slate. Before last night’s performance (26.5), Huerter had put up at least 38 fantasy points over the previous four games. Tonight he is primed with a great match-up against Washington who allows 120 points per game. That is dead last in the NBA. Look for Huerter to have a floor of 32 fantasy points tonight.

Top SF Picks:

Luca Doncic – DK: ($12,600)

Doncic is extremely expensive tonight so if you buy up on him you’re pretty banking on him having a ceiling performance. On one hand, Doncic is averaging 56.7 fantasy points per game against the Lakers this season through three games. There is no realistic way I am going to completely fade Doncic tonight. I just don’t see it. However, it’s a HUGE slate and if you don’t pay up, you can load your lineup with several studs. Look for him to have a floor of 55 fantasy points tonight.

Kawhi Leonard – DK: ($9,900)

With Paul George already being ruled out for tonight, Leonard will naturally have a larger usage rating. Going off of that, his opponent tonight is Golden State. They are ranked 28th in the NBA against opposing SF’s. Leonard played them once already this year and racked up 40 fantasy points in a whopping 21 minutes of action. Golden State just played Milwaukee pretty tough in their last game. I expect this game to be somewhat competitive tonight and for Leonard to have a floor of 43 fantasy points.

TJ Warren – DK: ($5,700)

Before getting ejected in his last game and throwing up a horrible clunker; Warren was on a roll. He’s put up at least 30 fantasy points on DraftKings in six out of his last ten. With Brogdon still sidelined, Warren has an above-average chance at hitting his floor at a more consistent rate. Tonight his opponent is Chicago and they are dead last in the NBA at guarding opposing SF’s. Warren played Chicago once this season and was able to put up 38 fantasy points on DraftKings. He will definitely have a very low ownership percentage tonight.

Top PF Picks:

John Collins – DK: ($8,500)

Collins is another Atlanta Hawk player I like tonight as they get set to take on Washington. He’s been a little bit up and down as of recent but tonight is a prime time match-up for him. Washington is ranked 27th in the NBA against opposing PF’s. On top of that, the Wizards give up an NBA high 120 points per game. This should be a high scoring affair as both defenses struggle mightily. Look for Collins to have a floor of 35 fantasy points tonight.

Jaren Jackson – DK: ($7,100)

Jaren Jackson is a solid play on DraftKings tonight as he gets set to take on San Antonio for the third time this year. He is currently averaging 37 fantasy points per game against the Spurs. Jackson has also topped 35+ fantasy points in seven of his last ten outings. These are the kind of numbers we have all been waiting for him to start putting up. Now that he isn’t fouling out of every other game, he makes for a solid DFS option. Look for him to have a floor of 32 fantasy points tonight.

Montrezl Harrell – DK: ($6,700)

Harrell has scored at least 23 points in each of his last three games. With Paul George sidelined, someone has to pick up the slack and Harrell had no problem doing so. Tonight he gets yet another great match-up against Golden State who has the second-to-worst record in the NBA. The one thing that might not bode well for him is the blow-out potential for tonight’s game. The spread is (+13.5) for Golden State. Either way, look for Harrell to get a floor of 30 fantasy points tonight.

Top C Picks:

Nikola Vucevic – DK: ($8,800)

Vucevic has put up at least 37 fantasy points in each of his last ten games now for Orlando. Jonathon Isaac has been out for a while and on top of that Aaron Gordon has been in and out of the lineup. All of that is great news for his fantasy stock but his match-up is what I love for tonight. He is going up against Phoenix who has repeatedly been getting beat down low by teams. Look for Vucevic to have a floor of 40 points tonight on DraftKings against a horrible defense.

Rudy Gobert – DK: ($8,600)

Gobert is priced very similarly to Vucevic and I honestly would go with either one of them. They both have a very similar floor and ceiling on any given night. Perhaps the one benefit you get with Vucevic is the injuries to his teammates. For that reason, I am giving Vucevic the upper-hand. But, I think Gobert still has a very good game against Charlotte. The Hornets have been getting killed down low all year and are ranked 28th in the NBA against opposing C’s.

Jonas Valanciunas – DK: ($6,700)

Valanciunas is a nice cost-effective play at the center position tonight given his high-ceiling nature in somewhat limited minutes. He’s already played San Antonio twice this season and is averaging 38.8 fantasy points per contest. He just flashed a ceiling of 50 fantasy points two games ago against Phoenix in 27 minutes. Overall, if you want to save a little bit at the C position go with Valanciunas.
