DraftKings DFS Guards

 

John Wall (at PHO, $10,300)

It feels wrong recommending John Wall when he is $100 more expensive than Stephen Curry, but this matchup is too good to pass up. Wall has been playing well recently, and he has flashed 70 fantasy point upside. He gets a matchup against the Suns, who have the worst defense in the NBA against point guards this season. This game should be fast paced and high scoring, and Wall is going to lead the Wizards. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

Nicolas Batum (vs PHI, $7,700)

Batum has been playing out of this world recently, as he has scored 40+ fantasy points in 6 of his last 10 games, including 3 games with 50+ fantasy points. He gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who he recently triple doubled against. He’s averaging 37.3 fantasy points per game against the Sixers this season, and Batum is a significantly better player at home, where will be playing tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

Courtney Lee (vs PHI, $4,000)

I picked on the Sixers in their last matchup with the Hornets, and I’m going to do that again tonight. In that game, Lee scored 32.5 fantasy points, which is great for his low price tag. He has been playing extremely well recently, aside from a dud against the Pistons. The Sixers have one of the worst defenses in the NBA, and they love pushing the pace to games. Lee is too cheap for someone with his upside, and he’s a great GPP option tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

 

LeBron James (at ATL, $9,900)

James has been on fire recently, and it’s surprising that he’s still under $10k. He has multiple games with 60+ fantasy points over his last five contests, and he gets a great matchup against the Hawks tonight. Atlanta has been one of the worst teams in the NBA against the small forward, and they have the talent to keep this game close. James scored nearly 50 fantasy points against them earlier this season, and he can be used in all leagues.

Robert Covington (at CHA, $6,400)

Covington has been unbelievably consistent since returning from injury. He has scored between 33 and 39 fantasy points in those four games, including a 38.75 fantasy point performance against the Hornets. He’s playing around 30 minutes for the Sixers each night, and he’s a double double threat in any given game. He’s one of the more consistent players, and he can be used in all leagues.

John Henson (vs ORL, $3,800)

You have to look at some of the prices on DraftKings and wonder what they were thinking that night. Henson is still under $4k even though he has scored 28.75, 37.0, and 37.5 fantasy points in his last three games. He gets a great matchup against the Magic, who tend to struggle against big men. Henson is seeing more consistent minutes, but that could change on any given night with Jason Kidd making the rotation. Henson is best suited for GPPs because of that.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

 

Hassan Whiteside (at SAC, $8,700)

Whiteside is heating back up, as he has scored 50+ fantasy points in two of his last three games. He gets a great matchup against the Kings, who have struggled on defense this season. Whiteside has the ability to triple double with blocks, and he’s coming off a huge 18-point, 17-rebound, 7-block game against the Lakers. He may be best suited for GPPs, but he has more upside than any center on the slate.
