DraftKings NBA Power Forwards:

Best Bets:

Anthony Davis ($9,900): Even though LeBron outdid A.D. against the Pelicans in L.A. last week, Davis still put up 57.5 DraftKings points in that game and is averaging an absurd 64 DraftKings points per game against his former team. He’s going to bring it back in New Orleans again tonight. Faced with a decision of A.D. or LeBron again, I have to lean towards Davis.

Pascal Siakam ($8,700): I like this less if Siakam has to tangle with Jokic, but he should be in for a solid night regardless. The Nuggets are weak at the four, so if Ibaka is back, Siakam is a lock. If Ibaka is out again, we may have to think about this. The Raptors will run RHJ at the four and Siakam in the middle.

Honorable Mention:

Eric Paschall ($5,200): At this point, I don’t know why the Warriors would throw Draymond out there without Curry. They have nothing to gain running him and he looks genuinely disinterested anyway. Paschall has been more than a capable fill in. He has 65 DraftKings points over the last two games with Draymond out. If Draymond sits again, Paschall is a strong play once again.

Dark Horses:

Jerami Grant ($4,500): So, for now Grant appears to be back in Malone’s good graces. He has 71 DraftKings points over the last two games against the bigger fronts of Detroit and the Clippers. Denver is going to need him to try and keep Siakam in check. Grant probably ins’t breaking 30 tonight, but 6x value is still possible.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson ($4,300): RHJ was a non-factor on offense for Toronto on Friday. He was just in there to grab boards and mug people. That’s going to be his role against Denver, so he has more than the usual risk for this cheap of a player. There’s better value elsewhere on this slate, but RHJ’s guaranteed minutes if Ibaka is out is still tempting.
