NBA DFS: Ghost’s Gems 10/20

DFSGhost
written by DFSGhost

After numerous NBA teams kicked off their season yesterday, we have a mere four squads in action tonight. However, the stars are plentiful and two marquee matchups await us. Two perennial MVP candidates face off in a battle of two Eastern Conference powerhouses, while the battle of LA closes out the slate. It’s a Thirsty Thursday edition of the Gems – let’s ride.

As previously mentioned in articles and in Discord, the rate at which news breaks in the NBA is unlike any other sport. This not only makes every slate different, but it emphasizes how crucial it is to use our proprietary NBA projections and cheat sheet to build your lineups. Be sure to join the Win Daily Discord to get the insight you need to win NBA DFS tournaments.

Milwaukee Bucks @ Philadelphia 76ers (-4)

Milwaukee Bucks (+4)

With Khris Middleton (wrist) ruled out for the first few weeks of the NBA season, Giannis Antetokounmpo will have to carry this Bucks offense. In addition, not only is Donte DiVincenzo now in Golden State, but Pat Connaughton (calf) is also missing for the opening month of action. The Bucks are suddenly thin on offense, and it will be up to Giannis and Jrue Holiday to carry the load. The former ended last season with a 29.9/11.6/5.8 scoring line on 55.3% shooting while leading his team with a 34.6% usage rate. Tonight, at the top of the pricing grid, he is far and away the premier option.

Philadelphia 76ers (-4)

Despite James Harden stealing the show in a season opening loss for the 76ers, it was Joel Embiid who saw the most action on offense, as he did for the majority of last year’s NBA season. Pacing his squad with a 33% usage rate, Embiid failed to take advantage of early foul trouble for Al Horford and Noah Vonleh, but still led the team in field goal attempts and rebounds, while also getting to the charity stripe nine times.

Debating between the two Philadelphia stars tonight is an issue given their individual matchups. Embiid has to deal with Giannis and Lopez in the paint, while Harden sees a far more elite defender in Holiday than he did on opening night in Marcus Smart. Thus, I’ll be going back to the well with Tyrese Maxey. Despite a slow start, Maxey scored 21 points on 50% shooting, where 15 of his 21 points came in the second and fourth quarters. Not only did he play every second of those frames, but he was the go-to option on offense. Lining up against the likes of Wes Matthews and Grayson Allen, Maxey is one of the best Point/$ options on tonight’s NBA slate, let alone this Philadelphia offense.

Los Angeles Clippers @ Los Angeles Lakers (+5.5)

LA Clippers (-5.5)

The return of Kawhi Leonard is one of the best storylines this NBA season has to offer. After missing all of last year, Leonard looks to form a formidable duo with Paul George in the quest for a championship. Despite 2016-2017 being the last time he played over 70 games, Kawhi remains a top 10 talent in this league. In over 100 games played, Leonard sports a 30.8% usage rate during his Clippers tenure, averaging a 26/6/5.8 scoring line. Unless he is on a hard minutes limit, both he and George make for excellent tournament plays.

LA Lakers (+5.5)

We can talk about Russell Westbrook and the Lakers’ shooting woes all we want, but truthfully, that isn’t where the issue lies. Yes, the Lakers shot an abysmal 10-for-40 from behind the arc on opening night, but it was Anthony Davis’ lack of aggressiveness in the paint the caught my eye. Despite playing against much weaker and smaller big men in the paint, Davis grabbed a mere six rebounds, while LeBron took down fifteen. Finishing second on the Lakers with 22 field goal attempts, in addition to nine free throws, Davis has the ceiling to be an elite target on any NBA slate, but remains to regain true form.

Firstly, the trio of Laker guards is a question mark tonight, as is what to do with LeBron James. You simply cannot fit James while playing one of George or Leonard alongside Giannis, so a decision has to be made. The public can say what they want about Westbrook, but he was efficient on opening night, dropping 19/11/3 on only twelve shots. He was pushing the pace and attacking the glass for rebounds. Kendrick Nunn remains an x-factor on offense in a supporting role off the bench, but his shot needs to drop for him to produce in NBA DFS. Lastly, Patrick Beverley will always be a wild card given his tenacity, but a game environment like this screams decent production. The usage will be modest throughout the season, but if he can stay out of foul trouble, the assists and rebounds will be there.

NBA DFS: Ghost’s Gems – Opening Day 10/18

DFSGhost
written by DFSGhost

It’s finally time – the NBA season has arrived. After an offseason filled with player movement, intriguing storylines, and turmoil amongst some of the league’s best teams, the quest for an NBA championship begins tonight. Opening Day in the NBA is one of the biggest nights of the season, and tonight’s marquee matchups certainly aren’t short of storylines.

If it is your first NBA season with us, you’re in for a lot of content. Including both written and video, articles will be posted daily Monday through Friday, while shows will be aired across all platforms. The daily articles will provide an insight into the slate; identifying the right game environments are imperative to success, along with individual players and matchups. Our analysis is unlike any other, and you are given all the information you need. Amongst that is our list of tools available. Our infamous proprietary NBA projections, a cheat sheet, and content in both written and video formats are key to success. You will not only hear myself talk about the projections a ton, but the members as well. I firmly believe we have the best NBA projections across the industry, and now, so do you.

Tonight, LeBron and AD take on the defending Champions on their ring night, while Joel Embiid and the 76ers take on Jayson Tatum and the Celtics. We have to get creative to get to the top of the leaderboards on any two-game NBA slate, and that is exactly what we will do. For the first time this season: it’s a Taco Tuesday edition of the Gems – let’s ride.

Philadelphia 76ers @ Boston Celtics (-3.5)

Despite having two of the best rosters in the Eastern Conference last season, both the 76ers and Celtics still had overhauls to their respective rotations. These two teams have some of the best stars in the NBA, but their benches needed reinforcements. The Celtics brought in Danilo Gallinari, only to likely lose him for the season to a torn ACL. Later, Boston replaced Gallinari’s spot in the rotation by signing Blake Griffin. However, the most notable addition came in the form of a true ball handler: Malcolm Brogdon. The former Virginia standout will not only alleviate pressure off of Tatum, Brown, and Smart, but also provide the Celtics with a formidable backcourt defense in closeout minutes.

On the flipside, Philadelphia made moves of their own. In are P.J. Tucker, De’Anthony Melton, and Montrezl Harrell, while Danny Green has been traded to the Grizzlies. Harrell will remain a defensive liability, but provides offensive upside to a bench unit operating without Embiid. Moreover, Tucker brings grit and defensive stability, alleviating pressure on Tobias Harris. Lastly, Melton gives the 76ers another ball handler to lead the bench unit, giving more freedom to Harden and Maxey in the starting 5.

Boston Celtics (-3.5)

Pacing the Celtics once again this NBA season is none other than Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. The formidable duo led the team in scoring at 26.9 and 23.6 PPG, respectively. They were also the lone players to register usage rates over 23%, leading the team at 32% and 30.4%, respectively. While Tatum has done well in this matchup in the past, the addition of P.J. Tucker complicates things on an NBA slate where DFS studs are plentiful. If you are looking to get three studs in your lineups, Brown would likely be the third, but I personally cannot get there with comfort.

Thus, I’ll be turning to the Celtics bench for exposure to this offense. I already discussed Malcolm Brogdon in the section above, and he’s certainly in play on this opening NBA slate. In the absence of Robert Williams III, expect Boston to go smaller to avoid burning out veterans Blake Griffin and Al Horford. With an anticipated closing lineup of Brogdon, Smart, Brown, Tatum, and Horford, Brogdon has opportunity right away with the potential for a 20/5/5 game. As I alluded to above, Robert Williams III is out for the next 6-8 weeks. As a result, Grant Williams and Al Horford will see an increase in minutes in the frontcourt. However, smaller lineups will benefit Malcolm Brogdon and Derrick White.

Philadelphia 76ers (+3.5)

The core of the 76ers is back and they have the reinforcements to make a serious run at an NBA championship this season. MVP candidate Joel Embiid is fresh off a scoring title, where he posted 30.6 PPG on a 50/37/81 split. Not only did he lead the league in scoring, but Embiid also paced his peers in usage rate. Eclipsing 37% last season, right ahead of Luka Doncic, Embiid is primed for another stellar campaign. Tonight, in a matchup where NBA All-Defensive counterpart Robert Williams III is absent, my NBA lineups start with The Process.

A glaring misprice on this NBA slate, Tyrese Maxey will be one of the most rostered players in the field. Entering his third year in the league, Maxey has quickly become a fan favorite in the City of Brotherly Love. In his sophomore season, Maxey saw his minutes increase by 20 per night, logging over 35 minutes per contest. Acting as a secondary ball handler to James Harden, the upside is there for him to capitalize on offense while his backcourt teammate draws coverage from reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Marcus Smart. By locking in Joel Embiid and needing his DFS ceiling, my 76ers exposure ends with these two, but can’t fault you for looking at Harden, Harris, and Melton.

LA Lakers @ Golden State Warriors (-6.5)

LeBron James versus Steph Curry on Opening Day is exactly what NBA fans are excited about. This game certainly won’t be short on star power, and we are in for a treat after the Warriors dynasty celebrates yet another ring ceremony. However, once the game tips off, all eyes will be on the new-look Lakers. Patrick Beverley was acquired from the Utah Jazz after being trading from the Timberwolves, who acquired Rudy Gobert. Kendrick Nunn is healthy, and Anthony Davis looks to regain his former All-NBA form. The news surrounding Russell Westbrook will be ongoing throughout the season, but the real question mark surrounding this team is on the wing. LA brought in Lonnie Walker IV and Juan Toscano-Anderson to support Austin Reaves, but is it enough? They still lack perimeter shooting, but never count LeBron James and Anthony Davis out of a championship run.

The Warriors roster largely remains intact, at least on paper. Drama surrounding Draymond Green and Jordan Poole stole the headlines, but the Warriors look poised to make another deep playoff run. The core of Curry, Thompson, Green, Poole, and Wiggins are all returning, while key rotation player Kevon Looney was resigned. A healthy James Wiseman could be an x-factor for Golden State, and the players they lost this offseason were quickly replaced. Gone are Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr., ceding their roster spots to Donte DiVincenzo and JaMychal Green. While the growth of both Moody and Kuminga are at the forefront of the Warriors future, this roster remains elite.

LA Lakers (+6.5)

The first question surrounding our Lakers exposure on tonight’s NBA slate is what to do with Anthony Davis. Assuming most flock to LeBron James for a mere increase in salary, AD could provide serious leverage over the field. At a mere $8,500 on DraftKings, Davis has the ceiling to be able to be an x-factor. While there is always injury concern, the upside is huge and he must be considered. LeBron James is chasing history this season, being 1,325 points away from the all-time scoring record. If that wasn’t enough motivation on Opening Day, how about having to watch Curry get his fourth ring in his home arena? The narratives are fun to follow, but truthfully, James is fresh off a season where he scored over 30 PPG on a 32.3% usage rate, playing over 37 minutes per night, making him an elite DFS play on a nightly basis.

The Lakers backcourt will presumably be a spot of value on this NBA slate. With Dennis Schroder now being out for the next 3-4 weeks, both Kendrick Nunn and Patrick Beverley will garner interest, especially with the former being minimum price on DraftKings. In his last full season in 2020-2021, Nunn averaged 14.6/3.2/2.6 for the Heat and has been flashing upside throughout preseason hoops. Beverley brings a tenacity to the Lakers perimeter defense and will certainly shadow Curry as much as possible, but the offensive upside remains capped while sharing the floor with James and Davis.

Golden State Warriors (-6.5)

It’s the first NBA slate of the season and we already have injury news. Coach Steve Kerr has reportedly expressed concern over the starting unit’s conditioning. Thus, they are likely to remain capped at 30 minutes, if they hit that mark at all. This rotation will be spread around in the early stages of the season, especially considering how short their offseasons have been.

Klay Thompson remains cautious with his rehab from multiple knee injuries, while Draymond Green and Steph Curry have been notorious for slow starts on Opening Day. Moreover, look for Kerr to get the youngsters involved early on. Kuminga, Moody, and Wiseman figure to be in his plans, while veterans fill out the rotation. Thus, I will likely be turning to the newly signed duo of Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins. The former was a 6th Man of the Year candidate last year, enjoying a breakout campaign. Poole sported a whopping 26% usage rate off the bench, putting up 18.5 PPG on 14 shots per night. Meanwhile, Wiggins thrived in the NBA Playoffs, but remains a modest option on offense. If you’re looking for upside, he may not be your best target, but he does provide a safe floor to round our your lineups.

Over/Under Scoring

Damian Lillard: Third in the league in scoring, Lillard is averaging 30 points per game on 48% shooting from the field.

Kyrie Irving: He sits right about Lillard, averaging 31.7 points per game, second only to Houston’s James Harden, who is averaging 36.5 points per game.

Verdict: Lillard goes under, finishing with around 20-22 points. Irving could clear the over by halftime, as he remains the only reliable scoring option the Nets have.

11/5 NBA DFS Game Previews & Prop Bets

written by

Tuesday offers another six-game slate, so Vote Early and dig into the 11/5 NBA DFS Game Previews & Prop Bets

Indiana at Charlotte, 7:00 PM Eastern

Pacers at a Glance — 21st in scoring (105.2), 7th in scoring (103.8), 21st in offensive rating (104.3), 11th in defensive rating (103), 22nd in pace (100.8).

PF/C Domantas Sabonis ($8300/DK) is questionable, but with the Pacers playing back-to-backs, chances are Sabonis sits tonight and plays against the Wizards on Wednesday. With PF/C Myles Turner also out out, PF/C Goga Bitadze ($4000/DK) will likely see extended minutes tonight and could be worth a flier. PG/SG Malcolm Brogdon ($8200/DK) is a must-consider on a nightly basis, while SG/SF Jeremy Lamb ($6100/DK) is seeing a spike in his DKP per game totals.

Stud — Brogdon. Dud — SF/PF T.J. Warren ($6100). Sleeper — Bitadze.

Hornets at a Glance — 20th in scoring (105.5), 22nd in scoring defense (112.5), 20th in offensive rating (104.7), 27th in defensive rating (111.7), 24th in pace (100.7).

C Cody Zeller ($6500/DK) offers strong sleeper potential, especially if the Pacers choose to sit Sabonis. He should be a lock for a double-double. PG Terry Rozier ($6900/DK) has become more of a scoring threat in his last four games. Considering the lack of options in Charlotte, I think this is more than just a brief trend. Like Zeller, PF/C P.J. Washington ($6100/DK) has upside tonight.

Stud — Zeller. Dud — SF/PF Miles Bridges ($5400/DK). Sleeper — Washington.

Boston at Cleveland, 7:00 PM Eastern

Celtics at a Glance — 17th in scoring (108.6), 5th in scoring (103), 14th in offensive rating (107), 8th in defensive rating (101.4), 16th in pace (101.5).

After a down opener, PG Kemba Walker ($9100/FD) has averaged at least 42.2 FDP in his last four games. PF Jayson Tatum ($8300/FD) is more steady than spectacular. Nothing wrong with that, but I’d choose Walker if you had to build around a Celtics player tonight. SG Jaylen Brown ($6300/FD) is out tonight (illness), so look for more minutes for SG Marcus Smart ($5600/FD), who has been a surprise source of DFS production. PF Daniel Theis ($4200/FD) is a curious play. SF Gordon Hayward ($6900/FD) continues as a good value since the Boston bench is pretty thin.

Stud — Walker. Dud — Smart. Sleeper — Hayward.

Cavaliers at a Glance — 23rd in scoring (105), 19th in scoring defense (111), 23rd in offensive rating (103.8), 22nd in defensive rating (109.8), 20th in pace (101.1).

As long as he is healthy, PF Kevin Love ($9400/FD) is a must-consider. Tonight, he might be more of a must-start. C Tristan Thompson ($8400/FD) isn’t a fluke. The offense is now optimal for him to be more of an option rather than an observer. The blocked shots, however, is a fluke. PG Collin Sexton ($5200/FD) is averaging two assists per game. Uh, I’d like more from my PG, please. Stay far away from PG Darius Garland ($4000/FD) and SF Cedi Osman ($4400/FD).

Stud — Love. Dud — Garland. Sleeper — SF Larry Nance ($5000/FD).

San Antonio at Atlanta, 7:30 PM Eastern

Spurs at a Glance — 14th in scoring (112.8), 15th in scoring defense (109.8), 12th in offensive rating (108.6), 15th in defensive rating (105.8), 11th in pace (103.9).

Any time you have a PG averaging 8.6 rebounds per game to go along with 2.2 steals per contest, you have to pay attention, which is why Dejounte Murray ($6700/DK) is a strong option tonight. SG/SF DeMar DeRozan ($7500/DK) is adding rebounds and assists to his usual solid scoring totals. Run with him while that lasts. Facing Alex Len will be a challenge for PF/C LaMarcus Aldridge ($6800/DK), but must better than what he faced on Sunday contending with Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard. SF/PF Rudy Gay ($5200/DK) isn’t shooting well from long range but is doing enough stat-stuffing to merit consideration.

Stud — Murray. Dud — Gay. Sleeper C Jakob Poeltl ($3100/DK).

Hawks at a Glance — 26th in scoring (103.4), 8th in scoring defense (104.4), 25th in offensive rating (102.9), 12th in defensive rating (103.8), 25th in pace (100.5).

PF/C John Collins ($8000/DK) was suspended 25 games on Tuesday, taking away 36.9 DKP and huge presence inside for the Hawks. That dampens the news of PG Trae Young ($9200/DK) returning to the lineup. Expect Young to have a larger Usage rate. The value of PG/SG Deandre’ Bembry ($5300/DK) is hurt as well. With Collins out, rookie C Bruno Fernando ($3200) will likely see a considerable jump in minutes. Keep an eye on how much Len ($4100/DK) to get time, but he is dealing with a rib injury. However, he will play tonight.

Stud– Young. Dud– Bembry. Sleeper– Fernando

Orlando at Oklahoma City, 8:00 PM Eastern

Magic at a Glance — 30th in scoring (93.5), 2nd in defense (98.2), 30th in offensive rating (93.5), fifth in defensive rating (100.3), 29th in pace (97.9).

The best play is C Nikola Vucevic ($6800/FD), who’s settling in for his usual 34-36 FDP form. Keep an eye on SF Jonathan Isaac ($6600/FD), who continues to offer blocked shots but can’t be completely trusted due to his inconsistent scoring. I’m still not warm on PF Aaron Gordon ($6400/FD), nor am I feeling good about SG Evan Fournier ($5000/FD).

Stud — Vucevic. Dud — Fournier. Sleeper — Isaac.

Thunder at a Glance — 24th in scoring (104.2), 4th in scoring defense (104.8), 26th in offensive rating (101.5), 4th in defensive rating (99.1), 25th in pace (100.5).

SG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($8300/FD) is a more confident shooter than he was as a rookie last season. He’s playing well enough defensively to where Gilgeous-Alexander has become a lynchpin behind the Thunder’s top-end defensive effort thus far. PG Chris Paul ($7500/FD) has been more scorer than distributor. As usual, if Danilo Gallinari ($6200/FD) isn’t scoring the ball, he doesn’t offer much in DFS, especially in a game where neither team is a lock to score at least 100 points.

Stud — Gilgeous-Alexander. Dud — Gallinari. Sleeper — SF Hamidou Diallo ($4700/DK).

LA Lakers at Chicago, 8:30 PM Eastern

Lakers at a Glance — 16th in scoring (109.8), 3rd in scoring defense (99.3), 16th in offensive rating (106.7), 1st in defensive rating (96.5), 17th in pace (101.2).

You don’t need me to tell you have to expect from PF/C Anthony Davis ($10,000/DK) and PG/SF LeBron James ($9600/DK). The two combine for 112 DKP, so good luck if you can add both of them. C Dwight Howard ($5100/DK) has been revived in a backup role that allows him to be a defensive monster. SF/PF Kyle Kuzma ($5100/DK) is still getting his legs back under him, so I would stay away for now.

Stud — Davis. Dud — SG/SF Danny Green ($3900/DK). Sleeper — Howard.

Bulls at a Glance — 22nd in scoring (105), 18th in scoring defense (110.3), 22nd in offensive rating (103.8), 18th in defensive rating (109), 18th in pace (101.2).

This probably isn’t the game you want to run with the Bulls, as the Lakers match up well defensively against the young and error-prone Chicago offense. The best option would be PG/SG Zach LaVine ($7300/DK). PF/C Wendell Carter Jr. ($6100/DK) is still battling a thumb injury, while PF/C Lauri Markkanen ($6300/DK) is fighting an injury to his side. I love the upside of all three, but I’d avoid them tonight.

Stud — LaVine. Dud — Markkanen. Sleeper — Carter Jr.

Miami at Denver, 10:00 PM Eastern

Heat at a Glance — 5th in scoring (117.8), 9th in defensive scoring (106.2), 9th in offensive rating (109.2), 3rd in defensive rating (98.4), 7th in pace (106.1).

SG Jimmy Butler ($9400/FD) has not taken long to establish himself as a dominant presence in Miami, averaging better than 48 DKP per game. PF Bam Adebayo ($8400/FD) is living up the preseason promises and is establishing a dangerous outside-inside combo with himself and Butler. PG Kendrick Nunn ($5600/FD) is starting to slip a bit now that Butler is taken the bulk of the usage rate, while PG Goran Dragic ($5600/FD) is cooled off after a strong start. SF Justice Winslow ($6400/FD) is a game time decision.

Stud — Butler. Dud — Winslow. Sleeper — Nunn.

Nuggets at a Glance — 25th in scoring (103.5), 6th in scoring defense (103.2), 19th in offensive rating (104.8), 13th in defensive rating (104.4), 30th in pace (97.1).

The Nuggets are so boring that they make the Jazz look like the Showtime Lakers of the 80s. C Nikola Jokic ($9200/FD) is in an early slump that continues to burn DFS users. PG Jamaal Murray ($6500/FD) will see lots of Butler tonight, so I’m not sure I’d invest in him.

Stud — Jokic. Dud — SG Gary Harris ($5200/FD). Sleeper — PF Paul Millsap ($5400/FD)

11/3 NBA DFS Game Previews & Prop Bets

written by

The 11/3 NBA DFS schedule tips off at 5:00 PM Eastern with five games on the main slate. Our game previews and Prop Bets will get you up and running to success.

Houston at Miami, 6:00 PM Eastern

Rockets at a Glance: 1st in scoring (125.6), 30th in scoring defense (126.6), 1st in offensive rating (115.5), 29th in defensive rating (116.4), 1st in pace (108.8).

Stud: PG Russell Westbrook ($10,300 FD) averages 55.5 FDP and has a pair of triple doubles and two other starts where he narrowly missed a TD.

Dud: SG Eric Gordon ($3900 FD) is shooting under 27 percent from 3-point range. His offense is his game, and if he’s not shooting…

Sleeper: There’s a breakout waiting to happen from SF Danuel House ($5000 FD), who is averaging 25.1 FDP. He’s capable of putting up 30-35 tonight and should be considered for those running with multiple lineups.

Heat at a Glance: 8th in scoring (115.6), 13th in scoring (107.4), 15th in offensive rating (107.4), 5th in defensive rating (99.8), 8th in pace (105.4).

Stud: With SF Jimmy Butler ($9300 FD) a gametime decision with a foot injury. PF Bam Adebayo ($8300 FD) will be the best DFS option, averaging 41 FDP.

Dud: PG Goran Dragic ($5900 FD) had a season-low 8.7 FDP against the Hawks on Thursday and is starting to lose momentum after opening with impressive numbers in his new role off the bench.

Sleeper: It might be time to stop waiting for rookie PG Kendrick Nunn ($6200 FD) to regress. He scored 28 points in Thursday’s win over the Hawks and will see a huge jolt of usage if Butler is either sitting out or has

his minutes limited.

Sacramento at New York, 6:00 PM

Kings at a Glance: 29th in scoring (99.2), 23rd in scoring (113.2), 28th in offensive rating (99), 26th in defensive rating (113), 26th in pace (100.1)

Stud: After a slow start, PG De’Aaron Fox ($8000 DK) has averaged 40.25 DKP over the past three games and will be in an entertaining matchup with rookie PG/SG RJ Barrett ($6500 DK).

Dud: After a pair of solid outings, PF/C Richaun Holmes ($5100 DK) reverted back to Richaun Holmes, putting up 15.5 DKP in a foul-plagued 20 minutes against the Jazz on Friday.

Sleeper: SF/PF Harrison Barnes ($4800 DK) has scored at least 30 DKP in his last two games and is averaging seven boards over his last three games.

Knicks at a Glance: 28th in scoring (100.8), 14th in defense (108), 27th in offensive rating (101.2), 19th in defensive rating (108.4), 27th in pace (99.2)

Stud: Barrett floated a 14.75 DKP dud against the Magic on Wednesday but rebounded with a solid 34.75 DKP against the Celtics on Friday. I’d strongly consider him in the lineup against a poor Kings defense.

Dud: In real life, C Mitchell Robinson ($5100 DK) is a bad-ass who is playing through ankle and thumb injuries. In NBA DFS, though, he’s killing lineups with a modest 24.9 DKP. Better options await in the middle.

Sleeper: SF/PF Marcus Morris had a season-best 50.75 DKP in Friday’s loss to the Celtics. He’s a streak shooter who gets a great matchup against a thin Kings frontcourt, and should be under advisement at $4900 DK.

LA Lakers at San Antonio, 7:00 PM Eastern

Lakers at a Glance: 15th in scoring (111.2), 3rd in scoring defense (100.1), 11th in offensive rating (108.3), 2nd in defensive rating (97.4), 23rd in pace (100.5)

Stud: Any questions about SF LeBron James ($10,900 FD) slipping a bit in DFS were answered with a loud 88.4 DFS in Friday’s steel cage match against the Mavericks. He should be good for about 55-60 FDP tonight.

Dud: For now, PF Kyle Kuzma ($4700 FD) should not be on NBA DFS lineups. He played just 19 minutes in his debut on Friday and will deal with ankle soreness for a extended period.

Sleeper: C Dwight Howard ($4900 FD) is a value play when looking for blocked shots. D12 looks like vintage Howard, averaging 2.5 blocks per game.

Spurs at a Glance: 7th in scoring (116.2), 18th in scoring defense (111.2), 3rd in offensive rating (112), 16th in defensive rating (107.2), 12th in pace (103.8)

Stud: PG Dejounte Murray ($6900 FD) missed Friday’s game against the Warriors but will return to the starting lineup. He’s becoming the best rebounding PG not named Russell Westbrook, averaging eight boards a game.

Dud: Don’t get giddy about PG Patty Mills ($4500 FD) and his 40.9 FDP performance against the Warriors on Friday. With Murray back in the lineup, he will fall back behind Derrick White and Bryn Forbes in the rotation.

Sleeper: White ($5600 FD) has put up two games of at least 31 FDP and will have intriguing value if looking to fill the end of your NBA DFS lineup, especially in a Showdown mode.

Dallas at Cleveland, 7:30 PM Eastern

Mavericks at a Glance: 13th in scoring (113.8), 21st in scoring defense (112.4), 6th in offensive rating (110), 20th in defensive rating (108.7), 20th in pace (101.3)

Stud: PG/SG Luka Doncic ($9200 DK) is listed as questionable after getting stitches in his head on Friday. Doncic is averaging 56 DKP and gets to carve up the Cavs’ backcourt.

Dud: PG/SG Delon Wright ($4900 DK) has crashed to earth with a pair of 18 DKP in his last three games.

Sleeper: C Dwight Powell ($3500 DK) is working his way back into the lineup. Increased minutes will mean increased production for the banger, who has only played in two games this season.

Cavaliers at a Glance: 24th in scoring (103.8), 12th in scoring defense (112.7), 24th in offensive rating (102.4), 15th in defensive rating (105.6), 19th in pace (101.3)

Stud: PF/C Kevin Love ($9000 DK) is averaging 16.8 rebounds and will be up to the challenge of hitting the glass against a Mavs team that ranks in the top half of the league in rebounding.

Dud: SF/PF Cedi Osman ($4900 DK) has been a bust across the board, with his flashes of offense the only thing going for him.

Sleeper: PG/SG Collin Sexton ($5900 DK) is scoring 18.2 points per game and could have a productive night if Doncic isn’t in the lineup.

LA Clippers at Utah, 9:00 PM Eastern

Clippers at a Glance: 11th in scoring (114.2), 16th (109.5), 2nd in offensive rating (112.5), 17th in defensive rating (107.9), 17th in pace (101.5)

Stud: SF Kawhi Leonard ($10,600 FD) has averaged at least 60 FD points in each of his last three starts. He’s a sure-fire stat stuffer.

Dud: PF JaMychal Green ($3900 FD) offers little beyond a flash or two of scoring.

Sleeper: C Ivica Zubac ($4400 FD) is an interesting Showdown option whose numbers would greater if he didn’t have to share minutes with Montrezl Harrell ($6600 FD).

Jazz at a Glance: 27th in scoring (101), 1st in scoring defense (94), 25th in offensive rating (102.2), 1st in defensive rating (95.2), 28th in pace (98.8)

Stud: With C Rudy Gobert ($8200 FD) playing below expectations, the play of SG Donovan Mitchell ($8400 FD) is perhaps the lone reliable option on the Utah roster. Mitchell is averaging two steals per night while maintaining a solid turnover rate.

Dud: Gobert hasn’t played up to his salary, but did put up 40.2 FDP on Friday. He has to string some vintage Gobert games before gaining the trust of NBA DFS users.

Sleeper: SF Bojan Bogdanovic ($5500 FD) has emerged as the second scoring option behind Mitchell. The points will be there, but it’s his defense that is pushing to strong sleeper status.

Over/Under Scoring

Julius Randle — Randle is averaging 14.3 points and is shooting 43.6% from the field. His 60.7% free throwing shooting will hamper his potential.

Buddy Hield — Hield is averaging 38.9% from the field but his 56% shooting in Friday’s win over the Jazz is encouraging.

Verdict — I got a feeling about Buddy Ball hitting MSG, so take Hield.
