DraftKings NBA Power Forwards:

Best Bets:

Kristaps Porzingis ($8,500): Don’t even worry about Philly’s relative strength at the position. Porzingis has topped 50 DraftKings points in all three games with Luka out. Not all of them have been good matchups. His price is still too low for what Porzingis has done lately.

Jayson Tatum ($7,500): Tatum is intriguing here with both Blake and Christian Wood out of the picture. Drummond has put the avocado incident behind him, but I’m not sure he can handle Tatum by himself. Tatum does struggle against teams with two good bigs, but Detroit isn’t going to be that tonight.

Honorable Mention:

Davis Bertans ($6,900): The Raptors interior takes a major hit with Gasol out. They are going to lock down Beal, so I see another big game from Bertans. If he didn’t disappear at times during the game, he would be a top 50 player. Bertans can shoot with the best of them.

Frank Kaminsky ($5,700): It was a short return for Ayton, who is now actually injured. It didn’t matter. Frank the Tank kept breaking 30 DraftKings points even with Ayton back. Kaminsky has four straight games with at least 32 DraftKings points. Enjoy this run on the cheap while you can!

Brandon Clarke ($5,600): Clarke has at least 28 DraftKings points in four straight games since his return to the lineup. Cleveland is not terrible inside, but they aren’t that strong either. He is a high energy guy that is seeing plenty of minutes. That makes him a strong play for the price.

Dark Horses:

Paul Millsap ($4,600): I hate playing Millsap. Grant has more upside and Denver loves Plumlee, so Millsap’s production has been a yo-yo all season long. He’s capable of 40 DraftKings points still, but we could just as easily get 15. I prefer a little more of a sure thing. I’ve had it with Millsap destorying my lineup like William Tecumseh Sherman did the state of Georgia in the Civil War.

Admiral Schofield ($4,000): Schofield is one of the best kept secrets of late. When Hachimura went down, the rookie stepped into 20 guaranteed minutes and he has responded with 59.5 DraftKings points in those three games. That makes him a strong value pick still.
