DraftKings NBA Shooting Guards:

Best Bets:

Devin Booker ($8,800): Booker has back to back games over 50 DraftKings points, and that’s with Rubio going nuts too. He has also cleared 50 in both games against Portland this year. One was just two games ago. Booker is rolling right now and his high assist numbers are keeping the floor really high. The price is climbing to the point where I’m a bit uncomfortable, but Booker is giving us no reason to doubt him right now.

Caris LeVert ($7,500): I don’t want to run LeVert. I really don’t. But since he went berserk in the fourth quarter and overtime against the Celtics exactly a week ago, LeVert has 132.25 DraftKings points in the three games since. This is a tough game against the Lakers, but he did pick up 28 DraftKings points on them in 22 minutes in the first meeting. He is carrying this team right now and is the only Nets player I would consider using against the Lakers.

Honorable Mention:

Malik Beasley ($6,200): While Russell has heated up and cooled down as a member of the Timberwolves, Beastley has been amazingly consistent. He has only missed 30 DraftKings points twice as a member of this team. He doesn’t break 40 often either, so Beastley is mostly a cash play. However, I’d run him in GPP’s against Houston. Both teams allow tons of points.

Terrence Ross ($5,800): Ross has cooled off a little, but his percentages are still very good. The Magic have just been running other guards more in the easy wins the last couple of games. Ross has as much upside as anyone and is guaranteed 30 minutes for a reasonable price. I don’t see a good reason not to use him.

RJ Barrett ($5,400): I despise running Barrett because he is very inconsistent like rookies are supposed to be. He has had a solid run of it lately, but he started to taper off into the 20’s last week. However, to ignore him against a team like Washington could be leaving money on the table. Barrett has 76 DraftKings points in three games against the Wizards this year. That gives him a good floor with solid upside.

Dark Horses:

Michael Carter-Williams ($4,300): Has his recent run been due to the blowout nature of the last two games? Maybe, but the Magic are still running MCW in solid spots throughout the game. You can gamble with Okogie because he gets more minutes, but I think I trust Orlando’s shooters more right now. Even MCW has been efficient lately.

Matthew Dellavedova ($4,000): The price on Sexton against a team like the Bulls makes me nervous. They are tough on guards. However, Dellavedova is a safe option for this price to get a piece of this game. He has played 111 minutes over the last three games and has racked up a lot of DraftKings points to go with it. He’s a nice bargain play again.
