DraftKings DFS Guards

Goran Dragic (at POR, $6,700)

Dragic has been playing extremely well recently, as he has scored 40+ fantasy points in nearly half of his last 10 games. His price doesn’t quite represent his recent production, although he does come with a bit of risk. He gets a great matchup against the Blazers tonight, who have really struggled against the point guard recently. Dragic should be able to take advantage of the fast paced matchup, and he can be used in all leagues.

Monta Ellis (at PHI, $5,800)

Ellis’ season has been anything but consistent, but he gets a great matchup tonight. The Sixers have a terrible defense, and they struggle against anyone that can score. Ellis is averaging nearly 30 fantasy points against them this season, and he’s only averaging 10 points per game in those contests. He’s the type of player that can score 30 points on any night, and he’s a great GPP option tonight.

Will Barton (vs SAC, $5,200)

Barton is another shooting guard who has really struggled at times, but has also dominated at times, as well. He gets a terrific matchup against the Kings, who have been one of the worst teams in the NBA against the shooting guard. Barton recently scored 40.5 fantasy points in a game, but he scored 18.25 fantasy points the next night. That shows his great ceiling and terrible floor. He’s a GPP only option.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Paul George (at PHI, $8,700)

As I mentioned earlier, the Sixers have a weak defense, and PG13 is the type of player that can take advantage of that. He has the ability to score in four of the five categories, and he should be able to score at will tonight. He’s averaging 46 fantasy points per game against the Sixers this season, and he has been a slightly better player away from home this year. PG13 can be used in all leagues on the smaller slate.

Kawhi Leonard (vs TOR, $7,600) 

I had a tough time picking between LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard, but I ultimately took Leonard because the Raptors are a worse defense against the small forward. Leonard missed a few games with an injury, but he returned against the Pelicans and scored 40 fantasy points in only 22 minutes. He has tremendous upside, and he’s also an extremely consistent player. His price tag is a bit low right now, and he can be used in all leagues.

Marcus Morris (at CHI, $5,300)

Morris has been on fire recently. He’s consistently scoring 25+ fantasy points with the ability for much more. He nearly double doubled in the first half last night, and he’s playing a huge scoring role for the Pistons right now. They are going to need him to continue to score, as they try to make the NBA Playoffs. Morris’ price hasn’t caught up to his production yet, and he can be used in all leagues.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Willie Cauley-Stein (at DEN, $4,700)

It has been reported that DeMarcus Cousins isn’t going to be playing road games for the rest of the season, which will open up minutes for WCS and Kosta Koufos. They both make great options, but I tend to side with WCS because of his upside. He has played extremely well when given the minutes, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him become a bigger part of the offense to end the season. He can be used in all leagues tonight.
