DraftKings NBA Shooting Guards:

Best Bets:

Andrew Wiggins ($7,700): Wiggins’ production was down just a touch with Curry back, but the Warriors still proved that they didn’t trade for him to sit around. Wiggins was still heavily involved in the offense and did more work on the boards to make up for his lack of ball handling. This is another good spot for Wiggy. The ceiling is lower with Curry around, but he proved that he’s still capable of cracking 40 DraftKings points. UPDATE: 40 is certain with Curry out.

Collin Sexton ($6,900): Sexton has topped 50 DraftKings points in both games running the point with Garland out. It’s not like they were SEC non-conference schedule opponents either. He did it against Utah and Boston. This is another tougher matchup with Denver, but Sexton is still too cheap. He may not hit 50 again, but he should be right around 40.

Honorable Mention:

Kevin Huerter ($5,600): Huerter is a better play if Trae is out. Even if he’s not, Huerter was still putting up good numbers with Young in there. The ceiling is higher if Young is on the bench in street clothes again, but Huerter is still a cash play regardless. He put up 32.75 DraftKings points in the first game with Memphis on Monday with Young in there.

Buddy Hield ($5,400): Hield’s shooting seems to be better in the 25 or so minutes that he gets now, but that also means that he’s not capable of dropping 50 anymore. The price does reflect that though. Hield has only been under 24 DraftKings points once since moving to the bench. He still does enough to warrant consideration most night.

Dark Horses:

Jordan McRae ($4,500): McRae had an immediate impact for his new team, putting up 22 DraftKings points in 26 minutes for Detroit’s depleted guard corps. It will likely look a little better tonight, but McRae is an interesting dart since he is cheaper than the rest. If Richardson plays, I’m playing him for the exact same price. If Richardson is out again, McRae looks solid at this price.

Gary Harris ($4,300): Harris has 80.75 DraftKings points over three March games. That’s a very nice return on investment. Harris was right around that mark in the first meeting against Cleveland. We have seen Harris take on a larger role in the offense. He’s a solid bargain play, albeit with little upside.
