Studs
Russell Westbrook (vs MIN – $10,100 on DK; $10,500 on FD): The Rockets haven’t been playing well but a matchup against the Timberwolves is just what the doctor ordered. I think. Either way, Westbrook has proven his value and should have no issue getting his points while chipping in with rebounds and assists in this game. It’s a heavy night up top but Westbrook sticks out.
Hassan Whiteside (vs PHO – $9,000 on DK; $9,500 on FD): Whiteside has a big game against the Suns just a few games ago and this might be one of the last chances to grab him before his value takes a hit with Nurkic returning. He’s always a double double threat and the ceiling is high with his rebounding and scoring output.
Aaron Gordon (at MEM – $7,900 on DK; $7,000 on FD): Gordon has been good since the All Star break and he walks into a good matchup against a Grizzlies team who aren’t good against the position. He can do a bit of everything and Orlando has to be feeling good after the Houston game. He won’t hurt you and the ceiling is high.
Collin Sexton (at CHI – $7,000 on DK; $6,200 on FD): I don’t know if the Cavaliers are now kinda good or if it’s just late in the season. Probably the latter. But Sexton has been playing great and this is a very good matchup against the Bulls. There should be enough offense to go around in this one.
Coby White (vs CLE – $6,800 on DK; $6,400 on FD): White continues to lead the charge for the Bulls and with their injuries, he shows no signs of slowing up. He’s a high ceiling player and as mentioned, with the offense that should happen in this game, White will be a big contributor on the Bulls side.
