DraftKings NBA Point Guards:

Best Bets:

Russell Westbrook ($10,200): Trae has been awful against Miami in two games this year. That is the one team that he hasn’t been able to solve. Russ has a solid 92 DraftKings points against the Warriors so far this year and looks solid again. He doesn’t have the upside of Harden, but Russ may be the safer of the two.

Honorable Mention:

Devonte Graham ($7,500): The Bulls are tough on point guards, but Graham has apparently figured them out. In three games against the Bulls, Graham has a 38.3 DraftKings point per game average. That’s what we need from this salary. Graham was also hot heading into the break with three straight games of more than 45 DraftKings points. Expect him somewhere between that and his average against the Bulls this year.

De’Aaron Fox ($7,400): For whatever reason, Fox has brought his best against Memphis this year. He has 96.75 DraftKings points in the two games against the Grizzlies. Fox is still rather erratic shooting the ball, so his production is still more inconsistent than others at the position. Still, he had solid showings against both Miami and Milwaukee just before the break. Fox looks pretty safe for the price here.

Dark Horses:

Derrick Rose ($5,900): The Pistons took it easy with Rose heading into the break, but don’t read too much into that. Reggie Jackson was bought out, so this is Rose’s team now. He was putting up big numbers with Jackson out, so I expect Rose to come in well above value here, even against the Bucks.

Tomas Satoransky ($5,000): Satoranksy has been locked down by Graham in the prior three meetings, but he’s also playing more minutes now than he was in the first meetings. Satoransky wont carry your team, but he shouldn’t hurt hit either and at least has a puncher’s chance at 6x value. You can do worse for a value pick on a smaller slate.

Jordan Poole ($4,000): The Warriors look like they’re going with Poole over Bowman at the point to start the game. Poole’s numbers remained largely the same and the minutes will likely remain mostly an even split, but Poole does a lot more with his minutes than Bowman does. He’s the value pick from the Warriors backcourt. Poole went into the break with four straight games of 22 or more DraftKings points.
