DraftKings NBA Small Forwards:

Best Bets:

Jabari Parker ($6,700): Parker played just 31 minutes last night and was 1-8 form the floor. If he goes cold, the minutes suffer some and the bottom line suffers a lot. SF is a very weak position though, and this is a favorable matchup on paper. Hopefully Jabari goes off and everyone leaves him on the scrap heap after last night. Me? I’m a glutton for punishment so I’ll be back regardless.

Honorable Mention:

Tobias Harris ($6,400): Call this a preemptive strike. This is the type of situation where Embiid usually sits, especially since Horford sat last night. If he does, Harris will have to take on a larger role in the offense, especially since the Pacers are tough on point guards. If Embiid plays, Harris is still an option because of the weakness of the forward slots tonight, but I like him a lot less.

Miles Bridges ($5,300): Charlotte has proven that they will ride the hot hand. Right now that is clearly Miles Bridges. He has 53.25 DraftKings points over the last two games. I’ll take that for the price. I liked him better at last night’s salary, but 5x value will likely put us above the cash line tonight.

Dark Horses:

T.J. Warren ($4,800): Warren is exactly what he was last year, just on a better team. He doesn’t score quite as much as he did in Phoenix, but Warren is in there to sweat and shoot. We only get fantasy points for one, but that’s enough at his price.

Nicolas Batum ($4,100): The price is insanely low for Batum if Charlotte is going to keep running him 30 minutes per game. They worked him back slowly from his injury, but it appears as though they are ready to let him out on the court a little more. Bridges is taking more shots so Batum likely wont put up the big numbers he did early on, but he’ll hit value for this price if he plays 30 minutes.
