FanDuel NBA breakdown – Cash Core

Draymond Green (8,000) – Draymond is not a very high usage player, but he is a guy that can rack up peripheral stats at a very high rate. He is a defensive, and passing forward, that can also play in the five spot, and actually did in his most recent game. With mostly every other center on the team injured, he is forced into a center role, and he did really well in that spot last game, dropping a triple-double. He gets this amazing match-up with the Suns, who are without Ayton, and he should be able to grab rebounds at a very high rate, and be one of the higher scoring forwards on the slate.

Kelly Oubre (6,900) – I already have a small forward pairing in my mind, with the other player to be mentioned shortly, and Oubre is in a great spot in this game with the Warriors. He has taken over as the second scoring option with Ayton out, and has a 25.4% usage rate, and 1.23 FPM. The Warriors have been much worse as a team, and even more on defense than in recent years, and Kelly is having his best season yet to date, scoring over 30 points in every game this season.

Giannis Antetokounmpo (11,600) – the “Greek freak” is back in action against the Celtics, and is looking as good as ever in his first three games. He has played less than 30 minutes in two of the games, but is averaging 1.85 FPM which is very high, and I am sure unsustainable. He also leads the team with a 34% usage rate, and the Celtics big men will be struggling to guard him. I fully expect Giannis to put up a big game, and is priced at below 12k which is rare for FanDuel.
