3 Game Slate
Utah Jazz (-4) @ Dallas Mavericks (+0.3 Pace) (217)
Phoenix Suns (+3.45 Pace) @ Oklahoma City Thunder
Washington Wizards (+4.77 Pace) @ Los Angeles Clippers(-3.5) (229)
Draftkings NBA Point Guards
Patrick Beverley ($4,500): Cash and GPPs
Beverley is in a great spot against Washington who is giving up the most points to Point Guards this season. We have seen Beverley’s upside, going for 37.5 DKFP versus the Pelicans, shooting 5-of-10 in 26 minutes.
Sign me up for some Beverley at a lost cost and ownership on Draftkings tonight.
Dennis Smith Jr. ($5,700): Cash
Smith is going against the Jazz tonight in what is projected to be a low total. What I am liking is the close spread (0.3) Vegas is projecting and the great match-up where Utah is giving up the 4th most points to Point Guards.
Other Options: Russell Westbrook ($10,700) Cash
DraftKings NBA Shooting Guards
When it comes to Shooting Guards I typically look for a value play that can open up the studs on the slate. Normally, I find this play closer to lock, such as Dotson getting the start last night. Tonight, there are a few value plays at Shooting Guards you can feel confident in.
Donovan Mitchell ($8,400) Cash
Mitchell broke out of the box score and showed us his upside last game going for 55.25 DKFP. Tonight he is in a great spot versus the Jazz who is giving up the most points to Shooting Guards this season.
The only thing that is pulling me away from Mitchell is the low total in a not so up-tempo match-up versus the Jazz.
Bradley Beal ($7,200): Cash
Beal has been on fire to start the season. If the Wizards are going to keep this game close tonight they are going to need a strong performance from Beal. Last game versus the Clippers, Beal produced 47.75 DKFP, shooting 9-of-18.
Other Options: Josh Jackson ($4,800) GPPs
DraftKings NBA Small Forwards
The Small Forward spot on Draftkings can be tricky at times. I generally look for value at this spot but do not try to punt too much. Typically, I try to find a play under $7,100 that can produce around 40 DKFP.
Trevor Ariza ($5,300): Cash and GPPs
Ariza has found a solid role-playing for the Suns this season. The Thunder are giving up the 5th most points to Small Forwards this Season and we have seen an upside of 46 DKFP Points from Ariza this season. If the Suns want to show up they are going to need to score a lot with Westbrook back.
Tobias Harris ($7,100): Cash
Harris is in a great match-up versus the Wizards giving up the third most points to Small Forwards this Season. Vegas is projecting this game to be one of the highest on the total and somewhat tight. Harris is going to need a strong performance to take down the Wizards at home.
Last three games Harris has shot 5-of-14, 8-of-16, and 9-of-15 going for 29.75, 44.25, an 29.5 DKFP.
Other Options: Harrison Barnes ($5,600) Cash
DraftKings NBA Power Forwards
Normally, the Power Forward or the Point Guard is where you find your highest scoring player of the night and where I spend majority of my salary. I look for games that are high and tight, where Vegas is projecting a high total and the game to stay close. Typically, I use those games and target the highest usage and minutes projected players that are in good Defense versus Position match-ups.
Markieff Morris ($5,800) Cash and GPPs
Morris has shown us his upside going for 47.25 DKFP against the Blazers this season. The Wizards are in one of the highest projected totals of the night. Sign me up for Morris who seen over 35 minutes last game versus the Kings.
Ryan Anderson ($3,500): Cash
Anderson has not been seeing nearly close to the amount of minutes we want to see for cash games. Tonight might be an exception for him if they want to keep this game close.
Other Options: Danilo Gallinari ($6,300) Cash
Draftkings NBA Centers
Steven Adams ($6,900): Cash and GPPs
Adams is going against the Suns in the best match-up for the night for centers. He is facing the Suns who are giving up the 2nd most points to Centers this season. Last four games Adams has went for 24, 37.5, 43, ad 41. 25 DKFP.

If this game is going to stay close, Adams is in line for a solid production line. Last game versus the Suns, Adams went for 44 DKFP in 29.57 Minutes.
Deandre Ayton ($7,700) Cash
Ayton has been an extremely solid addition for the Suns this year. He is going to be a solid player to build around for the future. Last two games, Ayton has been a solid double-double machine going for 47.75 and 47.5 DKFP.
Stacking this game and both centers is going to a contrarian play on a small game slate tonight.
Other Options: DeAndre Jordan ($7,300) Cash
