DraftKings NBA Shooting Guards:

Best Bets:

Brad Beal ($9,400): This is a place where Beal should dominate, but he didn’t in either of the first two games against Cleveland. Still, Beal is capable of hitting 60 on any given night against any opponent. He’s still the main offensive threat on this team. No one else is even close.

Jrue Holiday ($7,300): Holiday’s price is low enough that he can keep churning out 5x value games even with Ingram back and Zion dominating the league in ways rookies seldom do. There is still enough to go around for Holiday. He averaged 42.3 DraftKings points per game in the first three games against Portland. He could have a hard time hitting that mark tonight, but he should at least be close.

Honorable Mention:

Donovan Mitchell ($6,900): Mitchell put up 40.25 DraftKings points in the first meeting with the Spurs. The absence of Conley will help Ingles more than Mitchell, but he still should have no issues eclipsing value at this price. Mitchell still looks cheap.

CJ McCollum ($6,600): McCollum is automatic when Lillard is sidelined. It hasn’t happened much this year, but in their tenure together CJ has taken the floor 23 times without Lillard by his side. He has averaged 45.2 DraftKings points per game in those contests. Lock and load on CJ. He will be in all of my lineups.

Jaylen Brown ($5,900): Brown is going to siphon off a lot of Smart’s big game against the Clippers before the break. Brown is going to play big minutes in a really good matchup. I would take him over Smart here, but neither are a bad play.

Dark Horses:

Malik Beasley ($5,400): Beasley was a dud in Russell’s first game, but Towns was also healthy in that one. There is still enough to go around with Towns out. Beasley likely wont top 40 DraftKings points against Boston, but he should still hit 6x value easily.

Torrey Craig ($3,800): This is really only a play if Barton is out again. Even then, Craig is playing 30+ minutes, but he doesn’t have much for upside. Craig can do 20-25 DraftKings points, but probably nothing more. This is a light night for value though. Craig is decent enough.
