DraftKings NBA Shooting Guards:

Best Bets:

Brad Beal ($10,600): How hot is Beal right now? Last night’s 52.5 DraftKings was his second lowest in the last six games. He shoots more than twice as much as anyone else on the team and has a favorable matchup. What more could you want? Not having him on a back to back would be ideal, but Beal is a dangerous fade right now.

Caris LeVert ($7,200): LeVert was the only reason the Nets hung with Boston last night. He poured in 51 actual points and cleared 65 DraftKings points. It may be overly ambitious to expect that here, but LeVert did put up 40 DraftKings points against Memphis the first time around. He’s a very strong mid-tier play tonight, but expect very high ownership after last night’s career game.

Honorable Mention:

Collin Sexton ($6,600): I’m torn on Sexton. He was huge on Monday with Garland and Drummond both out. They are both sidelined again, so Sexton should run the point and act as the primary scorer again. Boston’s defense is good and Sexton’s price went up but he should still be able to hit 5x value here.

Coby White ($6,200): White is going to see all the shots he can handle with LaVine out. He is the best volume scorer the Bulls have. If they want to hang around, White is going to have a have a huge game. I think he does here. I would be shocked if he doesn’t clear 7x value tonight.

Malik Beasley ($6,000): My big mistake last night was running my Minnesota-New Orleans game stack without Beastley. The Bulls are without LaVine, so that should help Beastley’s cause tonight. Russell feels overpriced now. Beastley is the way to get exposure to the Minnesota side of this game at a reasonable price.

Dark Horses:

Duncan Robinson ($4,100): If you think I’m an idiot, well I do too. Robinson has been terrible with Herro out even with big minutes. That’s the thing though. The minutes are still there. If Robinson gets hot, he’s capable of hitting 10x value at this price. I’ll run him in one GPP on the off chance that he comes around against a beleaguered Orlando guard defense.

Denzel Valentine ($3,800): Valentine is still a good player when given minutes. He started for LaVine last night and put up a strong 27.5 DraftKings points against Dallas. This is a huge value spot for Valentine against a bad Minnesota defense. I’ll go with the high ownership here and get separation elsewhere.
