DraftKings NBA Power Forwards:
Best Bets:
Kevin Love ($7,800): Love put up a strong 43.75 DraftKings points in the first meeting with Denver. With Drummond and Thompson both questionable, Love could see a big number of minutes again. Even if one returns I think Love sees good enough minutes to take a shot with him. If both return, this becomes a huge mess.
Larry Nance ($7,100): Nance has put up huge numbers against Boston and Utah over the last two games with 96.25 DraftKings points. If the Cavs run Nance in the high 30’s again, he is going to have another monster night since Love will likely be the one dealing with Jokic. Even if Drummond or Thompson return, Nance should see decent run. If both return, then the situation is harder to predict.
Honorable Mention:
Nemanja Bjelica ($5,600): Bjelica has averaged 33.8 DraftKings points per game in 30 minutes per game in the three games against Portland so far. Why will they be able to stop him now? They likely wont. Bjelica should get his 30 minutes and should at least flirt with 6x value.
Eric Paschall ($5,500): We still don’t know what’s going to happen when Draymond returns, but it will be a travesty if he cuts into Paschall’s time. Paschall has at least 30 DraftKings points in every game with Draymond out. This price is very nice for that production, but it will be hard to use Paschall if he is removed from the starting lineup.
Dark Horses:
Jerami Grant ($4,400): PF roulette is the name of the game in Denver. At least they are all the same price. Millsap is the more proven. Grant has more upside. Porter has the most upside, but for some reason those jackasses wont play him. This is an impossible DFS situation. I understand that sometimes we land in a spot like this. If you do, use Grant as the GPP play and Millsap as the cash option.
Mike Scott ($4,300): Scott has 84.75 DraftKings points in three March games. He is thriving with Embiid out. Scott has little upside, but he has good shot selection and is a very capable rebounder. Don’t expect miracles, but 6x value is a given. That’s great return from a value play.
