Sunday Night NBA DFS Positional Breakdown with BCW

The Sunday landscape changes now that the NFL season is almost over. There are six games tonight, which allows the Sunday Night NBA DFS Positional Breakdown to be more flexible than it has been in previous weeks.

IMPORTANT: NBA DFS is completely different than any other sport. Players get ruled out five minutes before games and you HAVE TO BE READY to pivot. I will update this article as close to lineup lock as possible with any big news, but play it safe and stay on top of the news yourself.

I refer to FanDuel pricing today.

1/26 NBA DFS Point Guard

1. Trae Young ($9600), Anchor: Sandwiched between missing a game, Young has averaged 61.1 FDP in his last two games. He could easily clear that mark against the Wizards and their league-worst defense, especially with a usage rate that hovers near 35%.
2. Kyrie Irving ($8700): Irving lit up the Pistons for 45 points on Friday night. Oh, the fun he could have against the Knicks, who are ranked 26th defensively.
3. Damian Lillard ($9700): Ain’t no party like a Dame Lillard Party because a Dame Lillard Party is averaging 60.7 FDP in his last four games. The good times will keep rolling, but he’s ranked third because the Pacers — unlike the Wizards and Knicks — can play defense (ranked 11th overall).
4. Kemba Walker ($7600): Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are both GTD’s, which could be a good thing for Walker, who racked up 61.4 FDP on Friday night. A duplicate effort is in the offing against the Pelicans if Walker has to go without the C’s two biggest offensive threats.

1/26 NBA DFS Shooting Guard

1. Bradley Beal ($8300): The Hawks are 28th in points allowed per game. Beal (32.7 Usage Rate) is by far the best (and only) Wizards player worth strong consideration.
2. Devin Booker ($8800): Count on Booker to light it up tonight; he’s averaging 25.3 points, 6.0 assists, and 2.7 rebounds in three previous games this season against the Grizzlies while shooting 54% from the field.
3. Jrue Holiday ($7300): GTD (knee), so be ready to pivot if that translates into DNP-CD. Holiday has been solid over his past 10 games, averaging 20 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.0 block, and 2.0 steals.
4. Lou Williams ($6100): Williams is the most reliable of the rest of the available SGs. He’s a good pivot if Holiday is out. I’d also look at Marcus Smart ($5800), especially if Smart and Walker are taking the bulk of the Boston offense if Brown and/or Tatum are sidelined.

1/26 NBA DFS Small Forward

1. Kelly Oubre ($6700): Oubre is third on the Suns in usage rate and should thrive in a matchup against a Grizzlies team that, like Phoenix, ranks in the top 10 in pace.
2. Brandon Ingram ($8400): He’s had a challenging week in FDP production. He’s capable of exploding for 45-50 FDP at any time, but it will be a tough task against a Celtics defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing SFs. I’d like him a little more if Jaylen Brown is out.
3. Gordon Hayward ($6000): There’s great value in Hayward, whose 21.2 usage rate will increase greatly if Brown is out.
4. Marcus Morris ($5600): He’s averaging 19.4 points per night in his five games since returning from injury. He racked up 33.6 FDP the last time he saw the Nets on December 26.

1/26 NBA DFS Power Forward

1. Kawhi Leonard ($10,200): He’s put the Clips on his back in the wake of Paul George’s absence, putting up at least 60 FDP in five of his last eight games. I’d bank on Leonard making it six of nine after tonight.
2. Domantas Sabonis ($8400): Double-doubles in three of his past four games and 10 of 12 games this month. Sabonis has been a steady source of DFS gold all season.
3. John Collins ($7700): Quietly, Collins has averaged 19.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks this month. I wouldn’t be shocked if Collins approaches 45-50 FDP at the expense of the woeful Wizards defense.
4. Julius Randle ($7600): 20.9 points and 9.9 rebounds in his last seven games. He should at least deliver that level of production against the Nets.

1/26 NBA DFS Center

1. Hassan Whiteside ($9300): Look for a major rebound from Whiteside following his sluggish performance against the Mavericks on Friday. Be afraid, Myles Turner. Be very afraid.
2. Deandre Ayton ($7800): Even with the dip in scoring, Ayton has recorded double-doubles in five of his last six games. Grizzlies C Jonas Valanciunas tends to struggle against athletic big men, so look for Ayton to thrive against his less mobile counterpart.
3. Nikola Vucevic ($8500): You can shut your eyes rest assured that Vucevic will produce 39-42 FDP per night.
4. Ian Mahinmi ($5400): He’s here for the fact the Hawks are dead last in fantasy points per game allowed to opposing centers. Mahinmi is a low-end pivot that will allow you to spend bigger at other positions. He’s worth the risk.
