DraftKings NBA Point Guards:

Best Bets:

Luka Doncic ($11,400): Doncic has not been under 55 DraftKings points since Orlando held him to 43.75 back on November 6. No one is hotter or more consistent than Luka right now. There are plenty of other options, but no one else has a ceiling like Luka. He has at least 60 DraftKings points in four straight games. Three of those are over 70. Fade at your own risk.

Honorable Mention:

Jamal Murray ($7,400): Washington has allowed more points in three quarters than most teams do in an entire game. They are the place to use fantasy players against due to the huge upside. Murray is back on track in the last week after hitting the skids for about a week. His low mark over the last four games is 35, so we’re getting at least 5x value with a ceiling over 7x. We can do a lot worse.

Dark Horse:

Patrick Beverley ($4,700): Beverley has turned in some good games at a low price, but his floor reared its ugly head against Houston last week. Beverley is never really on the court to score. He is boom or bust, which is fine for GPP, but you’ll have to look elsewhere for value in cash games.

Isaiah Thomas ($4,600): Thomas doesn’t hold the animosity for Denver that he does for Boston, but this is still a solid dart in a revenge game. He and Ish Smith pretty much split minutes right now, but Thomas is usually the more productive of the two. He’s on the court in critical times which usually means better fantasy production. Smith is sapping his value, but the price is low enough to take a shot.

Ish Smith ($4,300): I do expect Thomas to take on a bit of a larger role in this one, but Smith has always been a guy that can put up big fantasy numbers in a little amount of time. He constantly outplayed Jackson in Detroit last year but failed as a starter. It limits the upside, but it makes Smith one of the better second unit options out there.
