DraftKings NBA Small Forwards:

Best Bets:

Khris Middleton ($7,600): Middleton wont be 100% owned in GPP’s, but he will be in cash. People are going to try to get cute in GPP’s. If you want to make money tonight, I would suggest not getting cute. Middleton smashes every game with Giannis out. He put up 47 DraftKings points last night. Tonight should be just as lucrative.

Bojan Bogdanovic ($6,100): The inconsistency of Bojan is maddening, but these are the kinds of risks you need to take while trying to take down a GPP. Bojan does have at least 30 DraftKings points in three of the last four games, hitting 40 in two of those. He likely wont do that against Toronto, but that’s why people keep coming back to Bojan. The floor sucks, but the upside is as high as you’ll find at this price.

Honorable Mention:

Will Barton ($6,000): Barton smoked the Bucks in the first meeting, racking up 48.25 DraftKings points in that one. Barton’s minutes are still in the same spot as then, but the Nuggets have a few more weapons now. We have seen his production ramp back up in March and Denver can use it with Murray struggling on Jokic disinterested. We should see a good game from Barton tonight.

Miles Bridges ($5,500): Bridges put up 30 DraftKings points in the first game agianst Atlanta, but he hasn’t hit that mark yet in March. The price in Bridges is a little high for what he does. He’s a good player and solid across most categories, but he doesn’t have the ceiling that a lot of players have with Charlotte mostly at full strength.

Dark Horses:

Joe Ingles ($5,100): Value sucks at SF tonight, but that’s okay. We’re all paying up for Middleton anyway, right? There was an adjustment period when Conley first came back, but Ingles has adapted to his role off the bench. He does a little bit of everything with the second unit. The upside is gone with Ingles not starting, but he is still a decent value play.
