DraftKings NBA Shooting Guards:

Best Bets:

CJ McCollum ($9,000): Sure, it’s a tough matchup, but CJ does nothing but drop 50’s with Dame out. CJ has 181.75 DraftKings points in the three games without Lillard. I don’t much care about the matchup here. CJ is the offense when Lillard is sidelined. I’m using him anyway.

Honorable Mention:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($7,400): I want to say the price is too high. However, Schroder is slumping and SGA is surging. He has 91 DraftKings points over the last two games. It seems like SGA and Paul are the way to go for the Thunder guards tonight.

Buddy Hield ($6,100): Hield continues to play well off the bench, but his minutes are taking a hit. The Kings really don’t have much to play for. It seems as though they’re trying to conserve Hield. It’s good for them, but bad for us DFS lunatics. That said, maybe the Kings turn Hield loose a little here. He was a superstar at Oklahoma and is still wildly popular there. I want to see Buddy put on another show for the Oklahoma City faithful.

Dark Horses:

Josh Richardson ($5,300): Richardson wasn’t much on the scoring end last night, but he excelled in every other category. J-Rich still broke 30 DraftKings points despite just nine actual points. This should be another game where Richardson can excel at a very reasonable price.

Kent Bazemore ($4,700): The Kings see something they like in Bazemore. He has logged 30 minutes in each of the last two games, putting up 71 DraftKings points in that span. He is cheaper than both Hield and Bogdan, but Bazemore might be the safest of the three right now.
