NBA Preseason DFS: Bucks @ Mavericks

Bucks: Eric Bledsoe and D.J. Wilson are questionable.

Mavericks: Dwight Powell and J.J. Barea questionable.

This game is loaded with superstars and I really hope that Luka, Porzingis, and Giannis all end up playing in this one. Luka and Porzingis looked awesome together in their first game on Wednesday and both of them took a whopping 18 shots, which was really impressive for the Unicorn since he only played 19 minutes!

Doncic played 27 minutes and went off for 21-8-5 and continues to look like a potential MVP candidate down the road. He’s an elite play tonight even against a good Bucks team if we think he’s going to play anything close to those minutes again. I’ll stack him with Porzingis, too, based on the volume of shots he took while he was on the floor.

Giannis was very Giannis-like in his preseason debut and reminded everyone just how special of a player is as he went for 22-11-4 in only 20 minutes as the Bucks routed the Jazz. Those per-minute numbers are freaking absurd and he has to be considered one of the top plays on the slate if he’s going to see 20+ minutes again. I don’t mind Brook Lopez here a little, but I try to avoid the Bucks secondary guys unless they are getting full run. Frank Mason could be a nice value if Eric Bledsoe is out and played really well in big minutes on Monday when most of the starters all sat out.

Elite Plays: Luka Doncic, Kristaps Porzingis, Giannis Antetokounmpo 

Secondary Plays: Frank Mason III
