Five players are picked on each slide, positions are not applicable, and both DraftKings and FanDuel salaries are listed.
Studs
Devonte’ Graham (vs BKN – $8,300 on DK; $8,400 on FD): Graham has shown no signs of slowing down and he has a good matchup against the Nets.The offense should be up in this game and Graham will be the one to push things for the Hornets. He should be in for a big outing in this one.
Zach LaVine (vs GS – $7,800 on DK; $8,400 on FD): LaVine is at an outstanding price on DraftKings given the matchup. This should be an easy night at the office for LaVine and he cuts up the Warriors defense with his scoring and chipping in with some playmaking. He’s a steal on DK and still a strong option on FD.
Anthony Davis (at POR – $9,600 on DK; $10,700 on FD): The Blazers are extremely weak against the position, leading me to like Davis over LeBron. Not sure you can go wrong with either one and LeBron is likely guaranteed to play more minutes. But Davis should be in for a double-double with ease and a handful of defensive plays.
Bam Adebayo (vs WAS – $7,500 on DK; $7,800 on FD): Adebayo had a rough outing against Boston but don’t be too concerned about that. He gets the Wizards on Friday and the Wizards are on a back-to-back. Adebayo is a triple-double threat in this game and you should find as much value as possible in Miami.
Jarrett Allen (at CHA – $7,200 on DK; $7,300 on FD): Minutes can always be a concern for Allen but against this matchup, minutes should not be an issue. Allen should easily pick up a double-double in this outing and expect a big rebounding output as well.
