NBA DFS Shooting Guards:

Wall make take away a bit of the Beard’s production, but he still has by far the highest ceiling on the slate. It really isn’t close. Harden is also $1,000 more than anyone else. To me, that’s not egregious enough to full fade him. I’ll have at least 50% exposure to Harden.

This is another superb matchup for Devin Booker, but he is priced where you need a ceiling game from him. He hasn’t come anywhere close to that. In fact, Booker has rarely hit 4x value. I’m staying far away from this. I still think he locks down Mitchell though.

It’s also another great spot for RJ Barrett, but he too is priced for a ceiling game. the crazy thing is that Barrett could get it. All he has to do is make some shots. He has been poor from the field and still hitting 5x value. If his shot starts falling, look out.

We’ve seen Buddy Hield have ceiling games. Even one against Houston in his career. That’s what we need at this price. Would I bet on it? Not a chance.

Alec Burks is a solid option if he plays, but for value plays, we’re looking for high ceilings. Seth Curry has a very high ceiling against the Magic. Terrence Ross does as well on the other side. The real sleeper could be Reggie Bullock again, but only if Burks is out.
