DraftKings NBA Power Forwards:

Best Bets:

Anthony Davis ($9,900): Remember when I said that LeBron has been nowhere near value against Memphis? It’s because A.D. is beating the Grizzlies like they stole something. He has 121 DraftKings points in just 69 minutes agianst them. Oh and Memphis is on the tail end of a back to back. Good luck Grizz. You’re going to need it.

Pascal Siakam ($8,400): PF is loaded tonight, so i’m not sure how crazy I am about paying for Siakam since the guards dominated leading up to the break. Still, Siakam is capable of blasting past this number, especially with Mikal Bridges trying to guard him. That would be like me trying to guard Shaq. The potential is there for a big night for Siakam.

Honorable Mention:

Jayson Tatum ($7,800): I wouldn’t be all that surprised if Tatum is the highest scorer on the night. This is a superb matchup and Tatum has at least 40 DraftKings points in seven straight and 11 of the last 12. He’s way too cheap here, especially against the Minnesota nice defense of the Timberwolves.

Brandon Ingram ($6,800): Ingram looked fine in the nine minutes he logged in the All-Star game. We can’t tell much by that, but he looks too cheap here. Ingram put up 88 DraftKings points in the first two games against Portland. They have no one that can stop him. Zion and Holiday are still going to get their numbers, but I could see Ingram up above 6x value still.

Dark Horses:

Paul Millsap ($4,900): The upside isn’t all that high on Millsap, but he has put up big numbers in little minutes all season long. Millsap didn’t play more than 20 minutes in any of his three games back, yet he went over 25 DraftKings points in all of them, even hitting 43.25 in just 29 minutes against the Spurs. Millsap is about as safe as value plays get.

Juancho Hernangomez ($4,700): It’s going t be another heavy night for Juancho with Towns still out. He posted a double-double agianst Charlotte before the break. Don’t go expecting anything like that. Juancho is going to have to tangle with Hayward or Tatum for 38 minutes. Don’t expect a miracle, but 6x vlaue is likely.
