DraftKings NBA Point Guards:

Best Bets:

Russell Westbrook ($10,200): Russ is the same price that Lillard was last night. The bad news is that he wont come close to Lillard’s output. Russ just doesn’t have that upside with Harden around. However, Russ very well could be the high scorer on this slate. He has 108.75 DraftKings points in two games against the Pelicans so far. Russ is probably the safest pick if you’re paying up today.

Honorable Mention:

Lonzo Ball ($7,000): Ball has really taken it to the Rockets. He has 110 DraftKings points in 76 minutes against them this year. Ball might not hit that with the Pelicans at full strength, but 6x value is still well within reach. If you are going with a balanced build, Ball should be your starting point.

Eric Bledsoe ($6,700): Bledsoe is probably still a little sore at the Suns for sitting him behind less talented players, and ultimately keeping him off the court while they tried to trade him. That said, I only really like this play if Giannis is out. With Giannis on the court, using Bledsoe is nothing more than a crapshoot.

Dark Horses:

Donte DiVincenzo ($4,000): DiVincenzo is one of those few bench players that puts up consistently strong numbers in his 22-25 minutes per game. You’re not going to mistake him for LouWill anytime soon, but Donte is also half the price of Lou. He’s a sure 20-30 DraftKings points and is a hell of a bargain on any slate. It’s just magnified on a small slate like this.

Austin Rivers ($3,600): Rivers still plays a lot of minutes as a backup, so he still sees a good number of shots. Anyone outside of Westbrook and Harden are risks, but everyone gets more run with Capela out since they run Tucker at center. Rivers is a solid value with decent upside today.
