NBA DFS Power Forwards:

Yeah, I know that Pascal Siakam has a high ceiling against the Spurs, but I can guarantee you that Domantas Sabonis has a higher one against the Bulls. Sabonis is underrated and underpriced on DraftKings in this one. He might be my favorite play on the entire slate.

It was a superb debut for Gordon Hayward in Charlotte. This is another good matchup for him. He’s not the kind of guy I usually use because I don’t really trust him, but when Hayward is on, he’s one of the better values on any slate.

If Love is out again, lock in Larry Nance. Nance was a monster on Wednesday with Love out. Even if Love is in, I’d like to think Cleveland would try and stick to the piece that is obviously a piece of this team going forward. There’s no guarantee that they will though.

The nightmare that was the 2019-20 season for Lauri Markkanen is over. He still has a lot of upside and flashed most of it in the opener against the Hawks, a trendy team in the East. This is a tough matchup for Markkanen, but he still feels underpriced.

I have trust issues with most of the lower tier here. P.J. Tucker is going to be out there for the undermanned Rockets, but he has a low ceiling. The good news is that all of those great SF values are eligible at PF on DraftKings.
