DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
James Harden - PG/SG, PHI vs SAC ($9,700 DK, $9,700 FD)
Harden has picked up right where he left off after returning from a foot injury 3 games ago. He's already back to playing huge minutes (38, 47, 38 in the 3 games since returning) and has posted 57+ DK points in 2 straight. He should clear 50 with ease tonight.
Chris Paul - PG, PHX @ HOU ($6,200 DK, $7,200 FD)
CP3 is an attractive play any time Booker misses games. When you factor in a price that's the lowest it's been in multiple years, it's hard to not see CP3 as one of the top plays of the slate.
Malcolm Brogdon - SG/SF, BOS @ LAL ($4,600 DK, $5,600 FD)
Brogdon has been on a heater lately, scoring 27+ DK points in 6 of his last 7 games. Now, he catches a Lakers team that has struggled guarding on the perimeter, ranking 28th against SGs. Brogdon looks like a great piece of exposure to the game with the highest implied total (234).
Others to consider: Steph Curry ($10,800 DK, $9,900 FD), Donte DiVincenzo ($4,000 DK, $4,300 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Zion Williamson - PF, NO @ UTA ($9,500 DK, $9,800 FD)
On a slate with serious star power at forward, I like Zion (at cost) more than the other top-tier options. Zion has posted 50+ DK points in 8 of his last 10, and the savings he provides can go a long way elsewhere. As long as Brandon Ingram remains out, Zion is a bonafide fantasy superstar.
Keegan Murray - SF/PF, SAC @ PHI ($4,600 DK, $4,900 FD)
A darling of the fantasy community, Murray has enjoyed a solid rookie campaign with the surprisingly feisty Kings. Murray has scored 27+ DK points in 4 of his last 5 games, yet his price is still only $4,600, which feels a bit too low. Seeing high minutes regardless of the game script is always a great way to ensure you have a solid floor.
Naji Marshall - SF/PF, NO @ UTA ($3,700 DK, $4,900 FD)
Marshall has been a DFS darling since Ingram went down, scoring 22+ DK points in 5 straight while never being priced at $4,000 or higher. As the old saying goes: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Marshall seems poised to have another high ROI showing at his $3,700 price tag.
Others to consider: LeBron James ($9,800 DK, $10,400 FD), Torrey Craig ($4,700 DK, $4,800 FD)
DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Deandre Ayton - C, PHX @ HOU ($7,200 DK, $8,600 FD)
Ayton has stepped up in a big way in the game and a half since Booker got hurt. He's combined for 103 DK points in his last two games and took 15+ shots in each game. Combined with his usual rebounding acumen, it feels like Ayton can match the ceiling of any center on the slate tonight.
Blake Griffin - C, BOS @ LAL ($3,400 DK, $4,300 FD)
Griffin has been starting in lieu of Al Horford for the Celtics for the past 3 games after returning from injury, and he's looked solid in doing so. He's scored 23.5+ DK points in all 3 games and has secured 7+ rebounds in each game. Griffin is a sub-$4k starter in a game with the highest implied total, what's not to like?
Others to consider: Anthony Davis ($11,100 DK, $12,000 FD)
