DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Guards
Nate Pierre-Louis - G, TEMP @ LS (DraftKings $9,100 / FanDuel $8,700)
Shizz Alston has graduated, which means his 20 points, five rebounds, and three assists per game are gone. Nate Pierre-Louis is starting to look like an upgrade, doing it all through two games and finishing with 43 and 53 fantasy points. The 6’4 guard can shoot the long ball, but thrives in the open floor by racking up peripherals. Temple is just a five-point favorite in this game and the total is set just above 140. Pierre-Louis is the guy I have with the highest raw projection on the slate.
Adam Kunkel - G, BEL @ BC (DraftKings $6,600 / FanDuel $5,900)
Adam Kunkel has been the leading scorer for Belmont through two games and this is a game we’re going to look to target. With a tight spread and a total close to 150, both offenses should have success. Kunkel is a three-point specialist and he’s going to fire. He’s 11-of-20 so far this season from behind the line. Boston College plays fast and Kunkel is going to get plenty of open threes. He does contribute with rebounds and assists as well, so he’s not just a dead shooter that’s fully reliant on scoring.
Also Consider - Jason Preston, Derryck Thornton, Jay Heath
DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Forwards
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl - F, NOVA vs. OHIO (DraftKings $7,800 / FanDuel $7,000)
Robinson-Earl was terrible against Ohio State, but was so everybody else. Villanova got stomped 76-51 and they never got much going on offense. Robinson-Earl saw a healthy priced decrease because of it, and I can’t agree with that. This team is going to be fine and Robinson-Earl is going to be putting up 40 fantasy points on a regular basis. The Wildcats will get right in this game and I fully expect another big performance out of JRE.
Braxton Key - G/F, UVA vs. COL (DraftKings $7,300 / FanDuel $6,000)
Key is another guy that is just too cheap for his talent. Virginia plays insanely slow, and it’s evidenced by the low totals of their games. However, Colorado will be a slight pace up game for Virginia and I don’t mind targeting Braxton Key. The senior guard is a great scorer, but fills up the stat sheet and is one of the better rebounding small forwards in the nation. Expect another 25-30 fantasy points out of Key. He’s in play in both cash games and tournaments.
Also Consider - Jalen Smith, Jay Huff, Nic Popovic
