DraftKings DFS Guards

Eric Bledsoe - PG/SG, at MIL ($6,800)

There is going to be risk playing any starter in the last game of the season, especially when both teams are safely in playoff contention. The Thunder have not really been able to find their stride since the end of the regular season, so expect them to come out trying to prove something. That means that if Eric Bledsoe plays, he should be in a hard-fought game that will rely on more scoring than defense. He has not played well in the two games the Bucks and Thunder have played this season, but that also is a good reason why many DFS players will fade him. I expect a much better performance without the same type of attention to defense.

Malik Beasley - PG/SG, vs MIN ($3,500)

If you aren't going to invest a majority of your roster into the Bucks/Thunder game, then your next best bet is taking the Nuggets bench versus Minnesota. The Nuggets starters aren't guaranteed to sit or anything, but they have taken a special interest in resting their starters lately. Just expect Beasley to see a ton of minutes and do most of the facilitating tonight, especially with his price so low it's hard to fade him as a sleeper.

DraftKings DFS Forwards

Wesley Iwundu - SF/PF, @ CHA ($3,500)

Wes Iwundu is getting the start tonight, and seeing how is a capable scorer and athletic defender, he should have no problem producing against Charlotte. Although it isn't saying much, Iwundu has had a handful of games where he scores more than 10 points, and he's already done it once against Charlotte this season. He was able to somewhat fill the stat sheet the best way he can, so make sure you view him as a sleeper pick with plenty of upside because of his matchup.

Mason Plumlee - PF/C, vs MIN ($5,100)

After Nikola Jokic fouled out last night, Mason Plumlee nearly triple-doubled. Since his price won't rise from this, you absolutely need to roster him tonight. If Jokic misses time, this is a key play and even if he doesn't, it seems like Plumlee is going to produce regardless against the Timberwolves. Plumlee still has inconsistencies every now and again, but against Minnesota and as the last game of the season, it makes sense that the backup center get's more minutes and usage.

DraftKings DFS Centers

Luke Kornet - PF/C, vs DET ($5,200)

The Detroit Pistons have floundered the second half of the season and that doesn't really mean much in terms of Luke Kornet torching them tonight, but it seems EVERYONE has been lighting up the Pistons recently. They don't have much attention to defense despite some instances, they are still a team to target until something changes. Since Kornet is getting the minutes and producing, there's no real reason to think he can't space the offense against the Pistons and clear his projected.
