Without wasting anymore time, here are the picks!

DraftKings DFS Guards

 

James Harden (vs SAC, $11,300)

Harden’s price is ridiculous, but he’s also nearly guaranteed to play big minutes while some of the other stars aren’t. On the season, he’s averaging an impressive 58.1 fantasy points per game against the Kings, who he will be facing tonight. Sacramento has one of the worst defenses in the NBA, and Harden can be used in all leagues on the big slate.

Jeff Teague (at WAS, $6,400)

Teague’s price is on the rise, but he’s still a bit too cheap for how well he has been playing. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 23.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. He gets a good matchup against the Wizards, who are dealing with some injuries. This is a final tune up game for Teague, and he should be looking to continue his hot streak into the playoffs. He can be used in all leagues.

Seth Curry (at HOU, $5,000)

The Kings are going to be resting some of their starters including DeMarcus Cousins and Rajon Rondo. That means Curry will be playing big minutes, and he’s coming off a great 54.25 fantasy point game against the Suns. He gets a great matchup against the Rockets, who will be pushing the pace, and Curry has scored 30+ fantasy points in three of his last four games. He can be used in all leagues.

 

DraftKings DFS Forwards

 

LeBron James (vs DET, $9,600)

For whatever reason, James’ price recently dropped, but his production hasn’t. He did score low fantasy points in one game, but that was because he played limited minutes. He scored 56 fantasy points in his last game, and he was as hot as anyone in the NBA before that. He gets a good matchup against the Pistons, and LeBron will likely prove that he’s ready for the playoffs tonight. He can be used in all leagues.

Nerlens Noel (at CHI, $6,400)

Noel has been locked into big minutes for the Sixers to end the season, and he has played well in each of his last three games. He gets a good matchup against the Bulls, who are running on fumes in the frontcourt. Noel can contribute in each of the five categories, and he has loads of upside. He can be used in all leagues tonight.

Bobby Portis (vs PHI, $3,800)

As many people predicted, Portis was unleashed a bit in the Bulls last game, and he scored 13 points with 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal in 29 minutes. He’s likely play around 30 minutes again tonight, as the Bulls don’t have any more healthy bodies. He gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who have one of the worst defenses in the NBA, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

 

DraftKings DFS Centers

 

Cristiano Felicio (vs PHI, $3,500)

As I mentioned before, the Bulls don’t have any healthy bodies in the frontcourt, which means Felicio is going to play between 25 and 30 minutes tonight. He has scored 23+ fantasy points in each of his last two games, and he’s nearly a lock to exceed value again tonight. He gets a great matchup against the Sixers, who are the worst team in the NBA against centers, and Felicio can be used in all leagues.
