DraftKings DFS Point Guards

Russell Westbrook (at GS, $11,200)

This is the type of matchup that we have been waiting for. Westbrook has been on fire recently, as he’s averaging 24.2 points, 11.6 rebounds, 12.8 assists, and 1.4 steals per game over the last 10 days. Tonight, he’ll get a matchup against a fast paced Golden State team, and Westbrook should play big minutes because this game will stay close. He has triple doubled in three consecutive games, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Patty Mills (vs LAL, $3,700)

Mills is going to play a larger role for the Spurs with Manu Ginobili out for an extended period of time. Mills has tremendous upside, as he recently scored 37.5 fantasy points in only 21 minutes against the Magic. He gets a great matchup against the Lakers tonight, who Mills is averaging 28.9 fantasy points in only 19.6 minutes per game against this season. Mills is extremely cheap, and he has been playing well recently. He can be used in all leagues.

DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards

Klay Thompson (vs OKC, $7,800)

Thompson has posted some huge games recently, and it looks like he has really found his groove on offense. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 29.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game. While he doesn’t add many peripheral stats, both of these teams play at a fast pace, and they are going to score quite a bit tonight. He has the ability to score 40+ points in a game, and the Thunder are an average defense against the shooting guard. Thompson has certainly had his struggles this season, but he can be used in all leagues tonight.

Rodney Hood (at PHO, $5,900)

Hood has been playing well recently, as he’s averaging 19.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game over the last 10 days. He gets a great matchup against the Suns, who love pushing the pace, but have struggled defensively this season. Hood is a great scorer, who can heat up on any given night. He has the ability to add a few peripheral stats, although he’s mainly a scorer, but he has 30+ point abilities. He comes with a bit of risk, but he can be used in all leagues for his price tonight.

DraftKings DFS Small Forwards

Kevin Durant (at GS, $10,500)

As always, I don’t mind pairing Durant and Westbrook together, especially in a matchup like tonight. The Warriors love pushing the pace, and the Thunder are going to be looking to make a statement tonight. Westbrook and Durant should take over the offense even more than they already do, which gives him a great combination of consistency and upside. Over the last 10 days, Durant is averaging 33.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 1.0 block per game. Durant is a bit too cheap tonight, and he can be used in all leagues.

Stanley Johnson (at IND, $5,200)

Johnson’s price took a jump a little quicker than I was anticipating, but he’s still a bit too cheap. He drew the start for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the Pistons last game, and he dominated with 22 points, nine rebounds, five assists, a block, and two steals in 44 minutes. He’s going to be locked into heavy minutes until after the All-Star Break, which means he’ll continue to have great upside. He has continuously played well when given big minutes this season, and Johnson can be used in all leagues tonight.

DraftKings DFS Power Forwards

Derrick Favors (at PHO, $7,000)

Favors should be closer to $8,000 when he’s fully healthy, which it looks like he finally is. He has been playing big minutes for the Jazz, and he recently scored 41.75 fantasy points against the Nuggets. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Suns, who love to run at an up-tempo pace, and they have struggled against big men this season. Favors should have very little problems paying off his low price tag, and he can be used in all leagues.

Markieff Morris (vs UTA, $5,900)

Morris may be a bit under owned tonight because he gets a tough matchup and he’s coming off a poor performance. Everyone was anticipating Morris to replicate the 58.75 fantasy point performance he had the game before, and he left a sour taste in their mouth with only 23.25 fantasy points. He’s still going to play big minutes, and he’s going to be a feature part in the Suns offense, as Earl Watson is fully on board with Morris. He isn’t all that expensive yet, but he is best suited for GPPs.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Gorgui Dieng (vs CHI, $6,100)

This spot can be used for either Karl-Anthony Towns or Gorgui Dieng, but Dieng is cheaper, so he got the write up. Kevin Garnett and Nikola Pekovic are rumored to be out for an extended period of time, which means Dieng will continue to play big minutes. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 16.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steal in 32.6 minutes per game. He gets a great matchup against the Bulls, who have struggled against big men this season, and Dieng can be used in all leagues tonight.
