Top PG Picks:
Spencer Dinwiddie – DK: ($8,000)
Dinwiddie is a great play tonight as Kyrie Irving is out for another week due to injuries. Nevertheless, Dinwiddie has recorded at least 34 fantasy points on DraftKings in each of his last four games. With Irving out, he figures to take back the lions-share of offensive production for Brooklyn. On top of all this, he gets a very exploitable match-up tonight against the Phoenix Suns who are currently ranked 27th in the NBA against opposing PGS’s. Look for him to have a floor of 35 fantasy points tonight.
Ja Morant – DK: ($6,800)
Morant is a solid option at the PG position for tonight’s main slate on DraftKings. He’s got a very cheap price tag tonight and has put up at least 34 fantasy points on DraftKings in eight of his last ten games. Tonight he will take on Detroit and just two weeks ago Morant dropped 16 points, 12 assists, and 2 rebounds in 32 minutes of action. Detroit is allowing 111.6 points per game as a team on the season. Look for Morant to have a floor of 32 fantasy points on DraftKings tonight.
Elfrid Payton – DK: ($6,500)
Payton has been elevating his play at an impressive rate as the season continues to steamroll forward. He has now recorded at least 32 fantastic points on DraftKings in each of his last 7 games now. On top of that, Payton already played Cleveland once this year and was able to put up 33 fantasy points on DraftKings in that one. At the end of the day, Payton can score, pass, rebound, and play defense at a solid clip. Look for him to have a floor of 30 fantasy points tonight.
Reggie Jackson – DK: ($4,700)
Reggie Jackson is my sleeper pick at the PG position for tonight’s NBA action. He’s now recorded at least 30 points on DraftKings in four out of his last 6 six games. Detroit has been dealing with injuries all season long so I fully expect Jackson to continue this rate of production. It may not be the most efficient player each night, but at least he’s getting the touches. In fact, he’s attempted 12 or more shots in each of his last 6 games. Look for him to have a floor of 25 fantasy points on DraftKings tonight.
Top SG Picks:
Bradley Beal – DK: ($10,100)
Beal continues to tear it up as he’s now recorded at least 51 fantasy points on DraftKings in each of his last six outings. He’s also made at least 10 free-throws in each of his last four games. Tonight he gets a great match-up against Golden State who is currently 22nd in the NBA in opponent points allowed per game at 114.3. This should be a very high-scoring affair and Beal figures to take on the brunt of the offensive load. Look for him to have a floor of 45 with a ceiling in the upper 60’s on DraftKings tonight.
Jaylen Brown – DK: ($7,600)
Kemba Walker and Ennis Kanter will both be sitting out for tonight’s game. This will undoubtedly allow for Brown to have another big outing. He’s now recorded at least 31 fantasy points in five out of his last six games. On top of that, he is taking on Atlanta tonight who is ranked 23rd in the NBA against opposing SF’s. This will be the second time this season Brown has played Atlanta and in the first bout; he racked up 42.5 fantasy points on DraftKings. Look for him to have a floor of 32 fantasy points tonight.
Alec Burks – DK: ($5,300)
Burks has been putting up a consistent floor of around 25 fantasy points on DraftKings over the past few weeks. He also can be a micro-wave scorer and put up huge numbers on any given night. Nevertheless, he’s recorded at least 23 points on DraftKings in eight of his last ten games. To make things even more interesting, Washington is dead last in the NBA for opponent points allowed per game. The value is absolutely there with Burks tonight and he has a very affordable price tag.
Mikal Bridges – DK: ($4,500)
Bridges is another cheap play I like tonight as Phoenix gets set to take on a Kyrie-Irving-less Brooklyn team tonight. One of the main reasons I like this play is because of the injuries Phoenix is dealing with. As well as the amount of playing time Bridges has been receiving. He’s failed to hit 30 minutes of action in just one game over his last ten appearances. Look for him to have a floor of 25 fantasy points on DraftKings tonight.
Top SF Picks:
Kawhi Leonard – DK: ($10,300)
Leonard has now scored at least 30 points in each of his last 9 games for the Clippers. Including a 31 point performance against Minnesota two nights ago where he played just 24 minutes of action. On top of all this, Leonard has reached at least 40 fantasy points on DraftKings in each of his last ten games. Tonight’s opponent is the San Antonio Spurs and Kawhi has already played them three times this season. He’s averaging a whopping 53.8 fantasy points per game against them. Look for him to have a floor of 46 fantasy points tonight.
Kelly Oubre Jr – DK: ($7,100)
Kelly Oubre makes for an intriguing play tonight as the Suns get set to take on the Brooklyn Nets. Oubre played them once this season and was able to put up 26.3 fantasy points in 30 minutes of action. On top of this, Oubre has recorded at least 28 fantasy points on DraftKings in nine of his last ten appearances. Phoenix will most likely be without 3 or 4 of their key guys tonight due to injuries. I expect to see Oubre take on more responsibilities on both ends of the floor. Look for him to have a floor of 35 fantasy points tonight.
Robert Covington – DK: ($5,500)
Covington is a solid value play tonight given his price tag is very affordable. He’s recorded at least 20 fantasy points on DraftKings in each of his last ten games now for the Timberwolves. Now that his playing time is more consistent, I have a lot more confidence rolling with him. Tonight’s opponent is Sacramento and this will be the third time this season these two teams have met. Covington is averaging 34.4 fantasy points per game against them.
Bruce Brown – DK: ($3,800)
Brown is very frustrating from a DFS perspective because he never really costs that much and he can put up big numbers. Last night against Denver, Brown racked up a whopping 19 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists in 38 minutes of action. These ‘big games’ can be looked at as an anomaly because he hasn’t been consistent this year. However, this performance is a reminder as to what he is capable of. Tonight he is only $3,800 on DraftKings and with that price point, he’ll only need 20 fantasy points to be worth it.
Top PF Picks:
Domantas Sabonis – DK: ($9,600)
TJ Warren has already been ruled out for tonight’s action and Oladipo is expected to still be on a minute restriction. These are both great reasons as to why Sabonis should have an uptick on both ends of the floor tonight. Conversely, the opponent tonight in Dallas and they will be without their best player Luka Doncic. This should ultimately allow for this game to remain competitive through all 4 quarters. Look for Sabonis to have a floor of 40 fantasy points on DraftKings tonight.
Jayson Tatum – DK: ($7,500)
Tatum is the other Celtics player that I really like for tonight’s action. Boston will be without Kemba Walker and Marcus Smart tonight which should lead to more looks for Tatum offensively. At the end of the day, Tatum has been on a roll having put up at least 31 fantasy points on DraftKings in nine of his last ten games. On top of that, Atlanta is the opponent tonight and they are ranked 23rd in the NBA against opposing PF’s. Look for him to have a floor of 34 fantasy points tonight.
Marquese Chriss – DK: ($5,500)
Chriss has found himself some consistent playing time in the Warriors rotation thanks to the Willy Cauley-Stein trade. He has now recorded at least 20 points on DraftKings in each of his last 6 games. Tonight he has an extremely exploitable match-up against Washington who is ranked dead last in the NBA in opponent points allowed per game. If you are looking to save money at the PF or C position tonight, Chriss is your guy. Look for him to have a floor of 25 fantasy points tonight.
Brandon Clarke – DK: ($5,000)
Clarke makes for a solid DFS play tonight given his price tag and his projected outcome. He has recorded at least 24 points on DraftKings in eight of his last ten games. Tonight he will take on Detroit for the second time this season. In the first bout; Clarke recorded 15 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block, and 1 steal in 25 minutes of action. He’s the type of player who doesn’t need to play 30+ minutes a game to be productive. Look for a floor of 23 fantasy points tonight.
Top C Picks:
Nikola Vucevic – DK: ($8,800)
Vucevic is one of my favorite plays at the C position tonight given his match-up and price-tag. He is $1,800 cheaper than Karl Anthony Towns tonight and I think they have very similar floors. Vucevic will be taking on Charlotte who is ranked 30th in the NBA against opposing C’s. They have been getting torched by opposing big men all season long and I don’t expect that to stop tonight. In fact, Vucevic played the Hornets once already this year and put up 46 fantasy points on DraftKings. Look for him to have a floor of 40 fantasy points tonight.
Deandre Ayton – DK: ($7,700)
Ayton has recorded at least 30 points on DraftKings in nine of his last ten games. Tonight he will take on Brooklyn who is currently ranked 26th in the NBA against opposing C’s. Phoenix is still dealing with a plethora of injuries at the moment so It only makes sense that they will lean on Ayton more tonight. Look for him to have a floor of 34 fantasy points on DraftKings.
