DraftKings NBA Power Forwards:

Best Bets:

Paul George is back in Oklahoma City and Kawhi is resting. If you need any more reason to use him, you’re too picky. This is about as good as it gets.

If Sabonis plays, he is definitely worth a look against the Bucks. That said, I almost hope he sits. It’s much easier to put in PG with AD if we can use some Pacers bench fodder to save some cash.

Honorable Mention:

Jayson Tatum tore up Charlotte the first time around. The Charlotte front looks a little different than it did then, but I don’t think they are any better defensively. Tatum could be superb for the price tonight. I wouldn’t fade George for him, but you shouldn’t have to either.

Cody Zeller has been remarkably consistent with Washington out. Biyombo has been kind of hit and miss, but Zeller is going to get you 5x value. He’ll usually approach 6x even with his price a littler higher. I’ve played Zeller on every slate with Washington out and haven’t been disappointed yet, but his ceiling is still relatively low.

Dark Horses:

I really wish we could trust Paul Millsap. He put up 34 DraftKings points on the Lakers the first time around. Millsap matches up well with this team, but you never quite know what Denver is going to do. After all, this is the team that didn’t use the freakishly athletic Kenneth Faried as much as they should have. Millsap and Grant hurt each other’s value. Millsap is still the safest, but you are playing a guy with a concrete ceiling, not a glass one.
