DraftKings NBA Shooting Guards:

Best Bets:

Jaylen Brown has at least 33 DraftKings points in seven of the last eight and has been over 40 in five of those. He is putting up very good numbers with Smart out. Good enough that Brown looks like a value here even though the Pacers are solid on the perimeter.

Honorable Mention:

I really don’t want to have to consider SGA again. That guy drives me nuts! However, he does have over 40 DraftKings points in each of the last two games. Personally, I hate the matchup with the Clippers. I don’t want that kind of risk, but SGA could have a big game at low ownership.

Terry Rozier was a dud against his former team the first time around, but he had yet to claim a starting role by then. I think I trust Rozier more than Graham here. Yes, it is mostly due to the lower price. If Lamb is out though, I think Holiday can get you close to Rozier with much less risk.

Dark Horses:

The Pacers started Aaron Holiday in place of Lamb on Friday. If Lamb is out again, Holiday is an outstanding value pick for the price. He has outdone Justin in just about every way this year when given the chance. If Lamb is in, I would leave this whole thing alone.

Gary Harris has at least 20 DraftKings points, but no more than 26, in seven straight games. Harris is the guy you want to go with as a sure thing. You know the minutes aren’t going anywhere. Danny Green and KCP are the place to go if you’re chasing upside.
