DraftKings NBA Small Forwards:

Best Bets:

Tobias Harris ($8,300): This pick comes with a caveat too. If Draymond plays, I want no part of this. He’ll terrorize Tobias on the defensive end. If Draymond is out though, Harris has the chance to put up big numbers. He dominates usage with Simmons and Embiid out, but it doesn’t always translate to huge numbers.

Bojan Bogdanovic ($5,800): Bojan had a terrible game against Boston to the surprise of no one. He lit up a Cleveland team that looks an awful lot like this Detroit team. I don’t trust Bojan at all. It’s hard to put anything into him with the inconsistency. However, this is a great spot for him. It’s up to you do decide whether he’s worth the risk.

Honorable Mention:

Bogdan Bogdanovic ($5,400): Bogdan is the one with the 50 DraftKings points potential on a nightly basis since he starts now. This rotation has worked for the Kings, but it’s frustrating for us DFS players. Hield had more upside as the starter. Bogdan is more the solid play. Forwards and guards both to well against Portland, so I do like both tonight.

Will Barton ($5,300): the biggest question is whether Cleveland can keep it close. A lot of that will depend on the health of Drummond. Barton did rack up 39.75 DraftKings points in the first game against Cleveland, but Denver wont run him 38 minutes again with the bench being a strength. Dial back your expectations a bit, but 6x value is still on the table.

Dark Horses:

Kent Bazemore ($4,600): Bazemore has played his former team three times already and averaged a solid 27.9 DraftKings points per game in those tilts. The Kings’ rotations are far from a sure thing, but Bazemore has still been able to carve out between 25 and 30 minutes per night with about as many DraftKings points to go with it. He’s a solid value play.

Cam Reddish ($4,400): Reddish gets solid playing time even with Young on the floor, but he’s usually seen and not heard with Young’s massive usage. Reddish is a decent play regardless, but the rookie isn’t very consistent. Not surprisingly, he has been better, and consistent, with Young sidelined. That’s the only way I’ll play Reddish.

Josh Jackson ($4,300): Jackson smoked Atlanta for 37.75 DraftKings points on Monday and has had two strong nights since then. The Memphis rotation has stabilized after initial distress after losing Jackson and Clarke. This Jackson appears to be the way to go when scrounging for value.
