DraftKings NBA Power Forwards:

Best Bets:

Giannis has five straight games of more than 60 DraftKings points, and that was before Middleton went down. Fading him is a massive risk right now. I don’t care what the salary is. You find a way to make it work.

Honorable Mention:

There is a giant dropoff at PF behind Giannis tonight. Montrezl Harrell was kind of a dud against his former team last night, and I don’t really want to use him here if both Kawhi and George play. However, if Kawhi is held out for rest, this is a very good situation for Harrell. The Pelicans could be thin up front with both Hayes and Okafor listed as questionable. I may go back to this well tonight.

Paul Millsap is still way too cheap even though DraftKings jacked his price up $700. Millsap has topped 30 DraftKings points in three straight and has a very appetizing matchup with the Nets tonight. Millsap isn’t a focal point of this Denver offense like he was in Atlanta, but he can still put up very good numbers for this low of a price.

Dark Horses:

This is another good matchup for Bobby Portis, but I’m done with any Knicks until Fizdale is gone. His rotations are the worst thing to happen to DFS since Jason Kidd coached the Bucks. Portis is a better player than Taj or Kevin Knox and they both doubled his minutes. Screw this entire situation. Yes, that is my technical take on it.

I don’t know what to make of JaMychal Green. He overshadowed Harrell last night and has racked up 69 DraftKings points over the last two games. Green has outplayed Zubac at every turn. How long will it be before he takes the job outright? For $4,000 though, Green should still see more than enough action to keep this hot streak going against the Pelicans.
