Top PG Picks:
Damian Lillard – DK: ($10,000)
Lillard came back down to earth in his last outing but was still able to rack up 39.5 fantasy points on DraftKings. He could have done even more damage in the game, but it was well out of hand in the fourth quarter. Tonight he has another attractive match-up against the San Antonio Spurs. Earlier in the year, Lillard dropped 47.4 fantasy points on DraftKings on them in 39 minutes of action. Given how Portland was just embarrassed last game, I expect Lillard and company to come out ready to go tonight.
Elfrid Payton – DK: ($7,300)
Payton exploded with a triple-double in his last outing and if you read my article that night he was one of my top choices at PG. He has now recorded at least 32 fantasy points on DraftKings in each of his last eight games. Payton a stat-sheet stuffer which makes him great in DFS formats. Tonight he will take on the team that drafted him back in 2014. Look for him to have a floor of 32 fantasy points on DK tonight.
Markelle Fultz – DK: ($6,100)
Fultz had a very tough outing last night against Boston but it’s not exactly easy for opposing guards to succeed at the TD Garden. I actually like that he just had a clunker because it will deter people from picking him tonight. In reality, he’s hit at least 25 fantasy points on DraftKings in seven of his last ten games. Look for Fultz to have a floor of 25 fantasy points tonight with a ceiling around 40.
Top SG Picks:
James Harden – DK: ($12,400)
Harden has hit 70+ fantasy points on DraftKings in each of his last three games. If Westbrook gets ruled out for tonight’s action, it’s hard for me to ignore Harden. On top of that, he’s going up against the Lakers and this game should be a show-down. I don’t think Harden will reach 70 again tonight due to how well the Lakers defense plays. However, I think he should be able to reach 50 fantasy points with ease in this one.
Zach LaVine – DK: ($8,400)
LaVine offers a high ceiling at the SG position but has a much lower price than Harden. In fact, LaVine has put up at least 33 fantasy points on DraftKings in each of his last ten games. He is easily the most consistent source of points for Chicago on a nightly basis. Tonight he has an exploitable match-up against New Orleans who is ranked 21st in the NBA against opposing SG’s. Look for him to have a floor of 35 fantasy points tonight.
Derrick White – DK: ($4,300)
White is a great value play due to his cheap price on DraftKings. He’s played Portland twice already this season and is averaging 30 fantasy points per game against them. After all, Portland is ranked 27th in the NBA against the SG position. He will hit value if he can muster up 20 fantasy points tonight. Which is very doable when considering how poor Portland’s defense is.
Top SF Picks:
LeBron James – DK: ($10,400)
James continues to dominate as he’s now put up at least 42 fantasy points on DraftKings in each of his last ten games. Tonight he gets a match-up against the Rockets who are ranked 28th in the NBA against opposing SF’s. On top of that, LeBron already put up 58.8 fantasy points on Draftings earlier this season against Houston. Look for him to take control early in this one and to ultimately have a floor of 45 fantasy points on DraftKings.
Khris Middleton – DK: ($7,300)
Middleton is playing at his absolute best right now as he’s racked up 40+ fantasy points in each of his last three contests. Tonight’s opponent is Philadelphia and this is the second time these teams have played this season. In the first game, Middleton had a monster outing that yielded him 51 fantasy points on DraftKings. I’m going to continue rolling with him while he’s hot. Look for him to have a floor of 37 fantasy points.
Top PF Picks:
Giannis Antetokounmpo – DK: ($11,100)
Giannis has unfinished business with the 76ers after the thrashing they put on Milwaukee back on Christmas day. Despite the loss, Giannis still racked up 50 fantasy points on DraftKings in that outing. Going beyond that, Antetokounmpo has put up at least 61 points on DraftKings in each of his last five games. Look for him to have a floor of 53 fantasy points tonight.
Brandon Ingram – DK: ($7,600)
Ingram has been one of the most consistent producers for New Orleans and is the number one option on offense most nights. Tonight he has a great match-up against the injury-plagued Bulls. Earlier this season, Ingram played Chicago and racked up a whopping 61 fantasy points on DraftKings. I’m not expecting a ceiling game from him tonight seeing as how the Pelicans are pretty healthy. However, he should have a floor of 35 fantasy points tonight.
Aaron Gordon – DK: ($6,300)
Gordon has turned his production up over the last three games as he’s recorded at least 37 points on DraftKings in each outing. Tonight he gets a great match-up against New York who is ranked 25th in the NBA against opposing PF’s. On top of that, earlier this season against New York; Gordon dropped 37 fantasy points on DraftKings in just 28 minutes of action. Look for him to have a floor of 33 tonight.
Top C Picks:
Joel Embiid – DK: ($9,100)
Embiid will be taking on Milwaukee tonight for the second time this season. In the first match-up, Embiid got the best of them and racked up 55.8 fantasy points on DraftKings in just 28 minutes of action. I expect this game to be a lot more competitive which should lead to some extra minutes down the stretch. Look for Embiid to have a floor of 46 fantasy points on DraftKings tonight.
Julius Randle – DK: ($8,700)
Randle has racked up at least 33 fantasy points on DraftKings in each of his last ten games. Tonight he will be taking on Orlando and earlier in the season when these teams played; Randle dropped 41 fantasy points in 36 minutes of action. He’s been playing heavy minutes and hasn’t floundered at all. Look for him to have a floor of 35 fantasy points on DraftKings tonight.
Nikola Vucevic – DK: ($8,200)
Vucevic has a great match-up tonight against the Knicks who he absolutely torched earlier this season. In that game, Vucevic racked up 49 fantasy points on DraftKings in 33 minutes of action. He had a down performance last night against Boston so I’m not expecting him to be too heavily owned tonight. Look for him to have a floor of 35 fantasy points on DraftKings tonight.
LaMarcus Aldridge – DK: ($6,500)
I really like Aldridge tonight because of his low price, the match-up, and he’s coming off a clunker. Tonight he will be taking on Portland and they are ranked 30th in the NBA against the PF position. On top of that, Aldridge already played them twice this season and is averaging 47.3 fantasy points per game against them. Look for him to have a bounce-back game and to have a floor of 35 fantasy points.
