DraftKings NBA picks March 9: Bledsoe and Middleton to win
By Mike Marteny
DraftKings NBA Shooting Guards:
Best Bets:
Norman Powell ($6,800): This is about as high as you’ll ever see Powell’s price, but if VanVleet sits, it’s hard to say that he’s not worth it. Powell put up 34.75 DraftKings points in the first game against Utah with the Raptors mostly at full strength. Powell’s streak of three straight games of 40 or more DraftKings points will likely end if VanVleet returns. If FVV is out again, Powell is going to be a great play in any format.
Honorable Mention:
Kevin Huerter ($5,800): Huerter’s price is getting to the point where it’s going to be hard for him to hit value if Trae is in. Huerter put up a solid 28 DraftKings points in the first game against Charlotte. The good thing is that Huerter has at least that many DraftKings points in five straight games. I doubt that stops here.
Donte DiVincenzo ($4,800): DiVincenzo has 105.75 DraftKings points in the last three games. The thing to note is that the Bucks were down at least one rotation player in each game. He’s hot right now and is a great rebounder for a guard. He’s well worth this price as a punt in cash or GPP.
Dark Horses:
Cody Martin ($4,500): Martin has taken over the role of Monk. He’s not the scorer that Monk is, but Martin isn’t priced like him either. He may also have a better floor than Monk. Martin can pile up the assists even if he’s not hitting shots. That gives him a solid floor, which is gold from a value play.
Gary Harris ($4,400): Harris missed the first Milwaukee game, and overall, this has been a rather disappointing season for him. Or he may just be getting hot at the right time. Harris has at least 5x value in four straight games now and has cleared 6x in each of the last two. Value is fairly easy to come by on this slate, but Harris is one of the hotter value plays.
