DraftKings NBA DFS – Cash Game Plays

De’Aaron Fox $8,200

Fox has just been a Cash game machine every single time he is on the court. Besides the Minnesota game, Fox has scored over 40 DKFP the last eight games! The Kings are going against the Trail Blazers in a high and tight game, currently sitting at a 230 total.

Fox has shot 12-of-19 and 6-of-20 the last two games, leaving plenty of room for upside. He is constantly playing over 30 minutes each game as well. Finally, he is carrying a 23.8% usage the last give games. Sign me up confidently for Cash games.

Lou Williams $6,500

Williams has a 31.1% usage the last five games and is running the second unit for the Clippers tremendously. Last four games, Williams produced 29.3, 50.3, 41.1, and 40.5 DKFP. Last game he went 4-of-14 versus the Spurs in a down game, look for a bounce back game versus the 76ers. Last game at home versus the 76ers, Williams produced 60.25 DKFP shooting 9-of-19.

Williams has not shot under 14 attempts the last four games, the 76ers are on the front end of a back-to-back, and the Clippers are coming off a lost to the Spurs at home. Williams will look to lead the Clippers towards a victory at home.

Willie Cauley-Stein $7,200

WCS will be paired with Fox in majority of my cash game lineups tomorrow. Last four games at home, WCS produced 38, 55.3, 37.8, and 30.8 DKFP. WCS is sporting a 17.4% usage rate the last five games.

Portland has given up the 2nd most points to Centers the last three games, solidifying WCS as a cash game play. Feel confident drafting WCS in your lineups. Last four games versus Portland, WCS produced 37.5, 36, 36.25, and 42.5 DKFP.

DraftKings NBA DFS Top GPP Plays

J.J. Redick $5,100

With the current news of Joel Embiid currently questionable , there will be plenty of usage to go around. JJ will be on my radar at just $5,100, as he has flashed his upside going for over 34 DKFP versus Utah and Toronto. Tonight will be a great spot to flash some upside again versus the Clippers.

More from FanSided

JJ has shot 2-of-7, 6-of-9, and 4-of-10 3PM/A the last three games. He has no reason to slow down if the 76ers are going to keep this game in check if Embiid is ruled out. Last two games versus the Clippers JJ produced 26 and 27.25 DKFP.

Danilo Gallinari $6,700

Galli seems to have found his stride lately. He gets a great spot tonight to flash his upside versus the 76ers at home. Last five games Galli has a 20.7% usage rate and has produced 35.3, 42, 26.8, 46.3, and 32.5 DKFP.

In what should be a high and tight game, Galli could be flashing 40 point upside to be the cherry on top of your lineup builds. Last four games versus the 76ers, Galli produced 38, 34.75, 27.25 and 40 DKFP.

Happy New Years and Good Luck.
