DraftKings Top Power Forwards

Julius Randle – $9,900: Randle has actually not posted big numbers against the Hornets this season but I’m going to guess that changes tonight, especially if Jalen Brunson sits out again. He’s expensive at $9,900, but he’s getting mass usage as usual. He’s had back-to-back games of 13 three-point shots and could easily put up 60 FP tonight.

Paolo Banchero – $7,400: Banchero is having a fantastic rookie season and tonight he gets a Bucks team without Jrue and Giannis. Banchero has averaged 38 FP over two previous contests against the Bucks and he’s posted 44 shots over his last two games. He doesn’t post gaudy rebounds totals, but he’s active in all categories. I like him for 40 or more FP tonight.

Bobby Portis – $6,300: Portis can easily hit value tonight with the absences of Jrue and Giannis. I would expect Portis to have his minutes bumped up close to 30 tonight. Jae Crowder will also get more playing time, but Portis is due to put up some big numbers. His low totals of late will scare off many DK players, but I like him for some lineups tonight.

DraftKings Value Power Forwards

Tari Eason – $4,800: Eason has been fantastic of late averaging just over 34 FP in his last five games. He’s also played 25 or more minutes in each of those games.

Deni Avdija – $4,600: Avdija is one of the most improved players this season and if Kyle Kuzma is out again he makes for a nice value addition at just $4,600. The matchup against the Pistons is outstanding. Even if Kuzma plays I can see adding Avdija to some of my lineups tonight.

Isaiah Livers – $3,600: With Diallo, Hayes, and McGruder all questionable, Livers might be looking at big minutes again tonight. He played 39 last night against Portland and posted 26.75 FP. Monitor the Pistons’ lineup news as we move closer to tip, but Livers looks to be a solid value play tonight.
