Draftkings NBA Point Guards

Jeff Teague ($5,300): Cash and GPPs

Teague is playing in one of the best games on the slate. Not only does Vegas have the Timberwolves and Lakers currently in an even spread, not only does Vegas project this game to be the highest total on the slate, but the Timberwolves are at home and in an uptempo game. I will be loading up on this match-up.

Teague is in a great match-up versus the Lakers who are given up the 7th most points to Point Guards. Teague is fairly priced and has potential for upside in this high and tight game. Before the blow-out to the Bucks, Teague has produced 30.5, 28, and 39 DKFP.

Jamal Murray ($6,700): Cash and GPPs

Murray is in one of the best match-ups on the slate for Point Guards. The Pelicans are currently giving up the most points to Points Guards. If this game stays close Murray is going to be in a shoot-out with Holiday.

Last three games Murray went for 40.5 DKFP, playing 34 minutes shooting 8-of-17.

Jrue Holiday ($6,700): Cash and GPP

Holiday is just too cheap for his recent production. Going against Denver tonight in a high total game. Last four games Holiday has produced 34, 42.25, 31.5, and 43.5 DKFP. Last two games versus Denver Holiday produced 51 and 40.25 DKFP.

Other Options: Dennis Smith Jr. ($5,500) Cash, Kyle Lowry ($8,000) 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.

Danny Green ($4,700)

Kawhi Leonard and OG Anunoby are ruled out for tonight’s match-up versus Milwaukee. Toronto is on the front end of a back-to-back and with this this news comes value. Green is in line for a massive usage bump without Leonard on the court.

Last game Green went for 31 DKFP versus Dallas shooting 4-of-8, if the Raptors want to keep this game close they are going to need the use of all the players on the starting unit.

Eric Bledsoe ($6,100) Cash and GPPs

Bledsoe is in a phenomenal match-up tonight with Giannis Antetokounmpo ruled out. He is going to have a massive usage bump without Giannis and should see much more minutes on the court as long as this game stays close. At just $6,100 for Bledsoe, I am going to be over the field tonight.

Robert Covington ($5,400): Cash and GPPs

Covington flashed his upside last game going for 45.5 DKFP in 36 minutes shooting 6-of-11.  I am going right back to the well tonight. To top it off, Atlanta is giving up the third most points to Shooting Guard this Season.

DeMar DeRozan ($9,100): Cash

DeRozan enters a juicy match-up with the news of Wiggins still questionable for tonight. Dallas has surrendered the most points to Shooting Guard this Season. The one thing that holds me back from tournaments is his high price tag.

DeRozan has flashed his upside going for over 60 DKFP in two of his last three games.  DeRozan is in line for solid numbers if this game does not turn into a blowout (-7.5).

Other Options: Josh Okogie ($4,200) Cash and GPPs, Gary Harris ($6,200) Cash, Eric Bledsoe ($6,100) Cash.

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.

LeBron James ($11,400) Cash and GPPs

LBJ has been fitting into his new role with the Lakers smoothly lately. As previously mentioned, I am going to be loading up on this match-up.  Out of all Studs tonight, LBJ might be in the best spot as Dallas is giving up the second most points to Small Forwards this season.

With a larger nine game slate, ownership should some-what be tampered on the studs. If LeBron is going to be lowered owned tonight, I will be gladly over the field in a currently even projected spread.

Khris Middleton($6,900) Cash and GPPs

With the news of Giannis Antetokounmpo ruled out tonight, Middleton is in an excellent spot to explode. Giannis had the most usage on the entire slate, which will be open to the rest of the team now. At only, $6,900 on Draftkings Middleton is going to be heavily in my lineups tonight.

Last four games with Giannis, Middleton produced 34.3,29.5, 38.5, and 46.3 DKFP.

Damyean Dotson ($4,800) Cash and GPPs

Dotson has been in my lineups almost every slate he is on. He is just too cheap currently on Draftkings. Until his price rises, feel comfortable to continually drafting him

Last three games, Dotson has produced 23.3, 42, and 30 DKFP.

Other Options: E’Twaun Moore ($4,000) Cash and GPPs, Jimmy Butler ($8,200) Cash, Jabari Parker (5,800) 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.

Luka Doncic ($6,600) Cash

Doncic has been a cash machine lately, going for 29.5, 34.8, 38.8,33, and 43 DKFP the last five games. Doncic is in a great match-up going against the Spurs who have given up the seventh most points to Small Forwards this season.

Taj Gibson ($4,400) Cash and GPPs

Like Doncic, Gibson is a solid Cash play and tonight.  With his price the cheapest of the season, I will be drafting Gibson at a low price in a face paced game that is the highest projected on the slate.

Vince Carter ($3,300) Cash

Carter is just too cheap on Draftkings for being in a great match-up. The 76ers have given up the most points to Power Forwards this year.  At just $3,300, I will be having my share of Carter tonight.

Other Options: Ersan Ilyasova ($4,100) Cash and GPPs, Kelly Olynyk ($4,900) Cash and GPPs, Jared Dudley ($3,300) Cash, Dario Saric ($5,600) Cash

Draftkings NBA Centers

Julius Randle ($6,200) Cash and GPPs

With the news of Anthony Davis being ruled out tonight. Randle is going to have a massive usage and rebound upside filling in his shoes. In a high and tight projected match-up Randle can easily outproduce his salary.  Last four games before the loss to Utah, Randle produced 32.3, 27.8, 32 and 40.5 DKFP.

Karl Anthony Towns ($8,400) Cash

Towns is in the best match-up for centers tonight. Going against the Lakers who have given up the most points to Centers this season. Towns as not had his ceiling game yet.

Going against the Lakers in the highest and closest total of the Night, I will be gladly drafting Towns in my Cash games.

JaVale McGee ($6,000) Cash

Draftkings has finally decided to start raising McGee’s price from his tremendous start to the season.  McGee is still on my radar tonight going in a great match-up versus the Timberwolves who are giving up the 4th most points to Center.

As long as McGee stays out of foul trouble from Towns, he should be in line for solid production at his current price tag.

Jonas Valanciunas ($5,300) Cash and GPPs

With Leonard being ruled out tonight, Toronto is going to be thin in the front court. Valanciunas enters tonight in a great match-up versus the Bucks given up the 8th most points to Centers.

Last three games Valanciunas produced 30, 30.8, and 42 DKFP.

Jon Henson ($3,800) Cash and GPPs

Henson is going to see a massive rebound bump tonight with Giannis already ruled out.  He is just too cheap on Draftkings and can easily outproduce his salary tonight if this game stays close. Last two games Henson produced 20.3 and 29 DKFP with Giannis in.

Other Options:  Nikola Jokic ($9,900) Cash
