DraftKings NBA Shooting Guards:

Best Bets:

Brad Beal ($9,600): Beal ended up with 47 DraftKings points last night. That was the same mark he had in the first meeting with the Knicks. There are enough other Washington players playing well that Beal doesn’t have to shoulder the entire load anymore. His days of clearing 60 DraftKings points are over, but he’s still a solid play since his floor seems to be low 40’s right now.

Devin Booker ($8,400): Don’t read too much into his game against the Lakers. Most players struggle against the Lakers. Booker still has at least 35 DraftKings points in 10 of the last 12 games. He’ll carry more of the load if Ayton is out. Booker has 91.25 DraftKings points in two games against the Warriors so far. Expect him in that range again.

Honorable Mention:

Spencer Dinwiddie ($7,800): Dinwiddie wasn’t all that great in the first few games with Kyrie out this time around. However, he has done a number on Toronto and Indiana, two good defensive teams, in the last two games. The Nets play the same Raptors team that Dinwiddie just dropped 49.5 on last Friday. He could come close to that total again tonight.

Collin Sexton ($6,200): The Clippers held Sexton down all game, but he also didn’t play his usual minutes as the Cavs lost by 41. I promise this will be a better showing against Atlanta. Sexton is still priced for his current floor over the last month sans the Clippers game. We saw him put up 38 DraftKings points in the first game against the Hawks this year. That seems like a sound bet again tonight.

Dark Horses:

Duncan Robinson ($5,000): Robinson remains a solid play so long as Herro is out. He was starting anyway, but since his primary backup is out of the picture, Robinson is picked up more minutes and doing more with them. His price is basically at the floor of his production. Robinson isn’t going to drop 40 without warning, but 30 is more than possible. It’s likely.

Malik Beasley ($4,700): Beasley’s production was cut in half with the arrival of D-Russ. That’s about what we can expect going forward. Beasley has the upside to put up good numbers and the Timberwolves are going to give him plenty of run. He’s a solid value pick, but so long as Russell is on the floor, he probably doesn’t have the upside you want for GPP usage.
