DraftKings Point Guards
Russell Westbrook (vs TOR, $10,500)
Anytime Westbrook is playing, he deserves heavy consideration. His price is the highest on the slate, but with games of 55, 76.75, 42.75, and 55 fantasy points, that price is justifiable. He gets a tough matchup against Kyle Lowry, who is one of the better defenders in the NBA, but Westbrook is simply matchup proof. He has nearly triple doubled in three straight games, and it’s only a matter of time before he completes that goal. He can be used in all leagues.
Matthew Dellavedova (vs NY, $3,800)
Dellavedova is likely to draw the start at shooting guard tonight, as J.R. Smith is dealing with a multi-game injury. In his last two games, he has played 61 minutes and he has recorded 59.5 fantasy points in those two games. Those numbers are outrageous for someone priced as low as he is, and he shouldn’t have a problem hitting value again tonight. He gets a good matchup against the Knicks, who haven’t been playing well this season, and Della should be used in all leagues.
DraftKings Shooting Guards
James Harden (vs ORL, $10,000)
Harden is coming off of the best game of the season, in which he scored 37 points. He’ll get another great matchup against the Magic tonight, who love to push the pace and have anything but an elite defense. Harden was looking for his shot against the Thunder, and the results spoke for themselves. He should be looking for his shot again tonight, and if this game stays close, he’ll have 50+ fantasy point upside again.
Nik Stauskas (at MIL, $3,500)
Sauce Castillo has been inserted into the starting lineup, and he’ll be playing as many minutes as he can handle. That will likely be in the high-20s or low-30s, which should be more than enough time for him to hit value. He has a great shot, and can heat up at any point in time. He also can contribute a bit in rebounds and assists, but he’s mainly a scorer. His price is extremely low for his minutes, which makes him somewhat safe, but he’s best suited for GPPs tonight.
DraftKings Small Forwards
Giannis Antetokounmpo (vs PHI, $6,900)
Alphabet has looked great in his first three games this season, averaging nearly 40 fantasy points per game. He has great upside because of his ability to contribute in all five categories, and he is looking for his shot more this season. There isn’t anyone on the Sixers that is going to be able to slow The Greek Freak down. If this game stays somewhat close, Antetokounmpo should see minutes in the mid-30s, or potentially more, which will give him enough opportunities to exceed value.
Al-Farouq Aminu (at UTA, $5,500)
Aminu’s price is a bit ridiculous, as he has exceeded value every game this season, and this is the first night it has taken a significant jump. Still, his price should be closer to $7,000 based on his production, which shows his value tonight. The matchup against the Jazz isn’t ideal, as they are a team that loves to slow the pace down, which could limit Aminu’s opportunities. Regardless, the Blazers will likely push the pace when they can, and Aminu has scored between 32 and 33 fantasy points in three straight games. He’s a great play in all leagues tonight.
DraftKings Power Forwards
Kevin Love (vs NY, $7,600)
Love’s usage rate has skyrocketed early in the season, as the Cavs are playing without Kyrie Irving, which has allowed Love to be more involved in the offense. His shot attempts may be up a bit more this game, as J.R. Smith’s production will need to be picked up from someone else, as well. He gets a great matchup against the Knicks, who will likely be a bit overmatched in the post by Love. He’s averaging a double double this season, and he has flashed his upside with 54 fantasy points against the Heat. Love can be used in all leagues.
Serge Ibaka (vs TOR, $6,400)
Ibaka got off to a slow start this season, but he has now scored 40+ fantasy points in two straight games, and he is finding his place in the offense. As always, he has great blocking potential, as he is averaging 3.3 blocks per game on the season. Ibaka will get a great matchup against the Raptors, and he has played over 30 minutes in every game this season. Last season, Ibaka was priced much higher, and he looks to have found his form on the Thunder early this season. He’s a rare shot blocker that doesn’t generally struggle with foul trouble, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
DraftKings Centers
Nikola Vucevic (at HOU, $7,700)
Vucevic has been a fantasy stud this season, as he has dominated in all but his first game. He’ll get a good matchup against a fast-paced Rockets team tonight, and he will also be facing an injured Howard. Vucevic is a double double threat every time he steps on the court, but he can also score 25+ points, which makes him an extremely dangerous player. His price isn’t quite as high as it should be, and Vucevic is a great play in all leagues.
